Sennheiser Releases Festival 'Best Friend'

News Image
Sennheiser has announced that its Wireless Systems Manager is now available as a free download. Described as an audio engineer's 'best friend', Version 4.1 has a new function that protects any selected frequency settings before the software calculates a new plan.

"The Fix Frequency function saves you a lot of work," explains Tobias von Allwörden, product manager for professional wireless microphones. "When you need to recalculate a frequency set-up, simply select the devices that need to keep their assigned frequencies and the software will not touch these when it calculates a new frequency plan.
The software now indicates the spacing between a microphone frequency and its neighbouring frequencies to the 'left' and the 'right', whether this is another carrier or an intermodulation product. If not all microphone and monitoring channels can be accommodated within a given spectrum window, the software will go below the recommended spacing but indicate this by marking the frequency red.
Additionally, version 4.1 allows engineers to set their own individual noise threshold. If the power of an interfering source is below the selected threshold, the frequency it is on would still be good to use; if the interfering source is more powerful (i.e. above the threshold), its frequency will automatically be disregarded for the set-up. Tobias von Allwörden adds: "For example, if you know that the radio microphones at your event will only be used at very short distances from the receivers, you could put the threshold higher, recalculate the frequency set-up and thus win more usable frequencies."

The Wireless Systems Manager 4.1 is available now for either PC or Mac as a free download at sennheiser.com.
