The MRK950 is a high performance microphone sys-
tem suitable for broadcast and high professional
application. Thanks to its exceptional selectivity and
intermodulation immunity, MRK950 is able to oper-
ate even in the presence of very high DVTB-T trans-
mitter’s signals.
The extreme bandwidth agility of 370 MHz al-
lows you to always nd & work on the best frequen-
cies available. MRK 950 is designed to be:
• “easy & quick to use” thanks to automatic setup
functions (i.e. frequencies, squelch), remote con-
guration utilities (USB/Ethernet), a display with
intuitive context menu navigation.
• “extremely exible”, with an incredible frequen-
cy agility of 330 MHz; more than one rack can be
connected together thru a simple USB cable to act
a multi-channel receiver. Moreover the DSP board
allows the units to work with several digital au-
dio outputs (i.e. AES/EBU, Ethersound, …), with
multi-companding compatibilities and other digital
features.
• “best in class performances”, thanks to the lat-
est Wisycom technology the unit has extreme RF
sensitivity and immunity and superb audio quality.
• “a durable & upgradable investment”, thanks
to the very robust design (aluminum housing) and
the possibility of upgrade/enhance units perfor-
mances with simple slot in card (pc-like thru the
DEXB expansion bus)
Moreover MRK 950 system is already set up for the
exclusive PTT function (remote command), devel-
oped and patented by Wisycom and now appreciated
in the broadcast world:
Simply pushing this button (PTT), the pre-
senter causes the remote switching of the
receiver’s output-line, from the “main line” to
the additional “intercom line”, in order to be
able to talk “off-air” directly with the technical
team. Then all PTT’s MICs can be connected
in pre-fading allowing a clever intercom
setup.
