What this video covers
Evolution Of Wireless Mic Technology And The A20 Super Nexus. The speaker introduces the current state of wireless microphones in live sound, noting that the number of mics required for shows has increased over time. They explain the evolution of receiver technology, from one mic per receiver to receivers handling 2, 4, and now up to 32 channels. The speaker introduces the Sound Devices A20 Super Nexus, a product from a reputable company known for high-budget productions, which can handle up to 16 mics at a basic level or 32 channels when expanded.
Benefits And Future Of The A20 Super Nexus System. The speaker highlights the benefits of the A20 Super Nexus system, particularly its compact size and portability, making it ideal for travel. They emphasize the system's inbuilt spectrum analyzer for frequency selection and its wide frequency range (1.69 MHz to 1525 MHz), which allows for operation in various African countries with different broadcast standards. The speaker concludes by encouraging listeners to check out the product and offers a demo in Johannesburg, calling it the future of wireless mics in live sound.

some of the things that are happening right now in the world of sound. So, you know, we've got wireless mics that we use in live sound, right? And over the years, the amount of wireless microphones required for a show, the numbers keep on increasing. But now with the old technology we had, it was like one mic had one receiver. And then it came up to basically one receiver could basically take 2 channels of like wireless mics. And then we had one receiver can take like 4 channels of wireless mics. But now over the past 2, 3 years, there have been like advancement in the technology of like wireless mics. And there is one particular product that I just want to talk about today. It is called A20 Super Nexus. This is a product made by Sound Devices. Sound Devices, basically this company has been there for many, many years and it's been used mostly on like big budget movies or, or like, um, those recordings for TV or broadcast where they require wireless microphones. But now this system that they have developed now, it is basically one receiver that basically can do up to 16 mics at a basic level or 32 channels when you expand it. No, just now imagine now you are able to have 32 mics connect to one receiver. I think, uh, this kind of system is very, very ideal for Africa because it means it is small, it is compact, it is easy to travel with. And also Sound Devices, because it is like a reputable company and reputable brand that has really stood the test of time in some of the most demanding spaces, I really believe like, uh, this, this particular product is going to be one of the biggest game changers. Because when you look at like church setups, for example, people are now using like wireless mics for all the backing vocalists. Sometimes it is 12 of them, sometimes it is 16 of them. But now imagine, now you are basically replacing all of those, all of those 12 receivers, or be it 4 receivers, with just one receiver. And again, this particular receiver also in it also has like an inbuilt spectrum analyzer well to basically help you pick the best frequencies to use. It's also built into that system. And also one key thing about this system again is this, in terms of the frequency range, because in different countries different TV stations or radio stations broadcast on different channels. So sometimes if you buy some mics, if they've got a fixed range, sometimes those particular mics are very difficult to operate in some, in some of the other African countries. But this particular product, you know, it is a wide range. Basically, it's— it basically covers from like 1.69 MHz to like 1525 MHz. So it's really an amazing product. So when you get time, please check it out. And then if you're in Johannesburg, if you speak to me, I may be able to arrange a demo for you. But I really believe this is like the future of wireless mics in events, in live sound. So I hope you get to check it out. Thank you guys, bye for now.
