Sony and OB-Team builds on its long lasting relationship, having partnered on major broadcast projects in Norway over many years. When OB-Team decided to replace their wireless audio system, the challenge was to select a system that could provide the ultimate sound quality, flexibility and ease of use. OB Team was convinced to pilot Sony’s digital wireless system.

Espen Helgor from OB-Team is very pleased with the new system capabilities: “Our experience so far has been very good. The system has already been up and running on major TV shows airing on the national TV station TV2. We are very impressed with the sound quality, and the support given by the team at Sony. The system\’s versatility has been key, as we have been shifting the equipment around to different venues depending on the project we are working on.”

After rating different alternatives and with the successful previous collaborations with Sony in mind, OB-Team decided to invest in Sony’s digital offering. OB-Team considered it a great advantage that the technology offers flexibility and that the handheld transmitters can be fitted with microphone capsules from various different microphone manufacturers. Users of the audio equipment, ranging from singers to program hosts, have clear microphone preferences and with Sony wireless microphones, OB -Team could cater to individual needs with the preferred capsule on top. Mick Sheehan, Sony: “The fact that our DWX system already has been used on popular TV productions running on TV2 Norway is a testament to the quality of our professional audio offering. These shows demand the best and most reliable quality audio equipment available. Building on over 40 years of experience in this field, we expect to see further uptake of our products as an increasing number of companies make the switch from analog to digital audio acquisition.”
