Mics and Headphones

Coles 4104 Lip Mic	Sennheisser HD 25
The 4104 Commentators Noise Cancelling Ribbon Microphone is of British Broadcasting (BBC) design and used for reproducing high quality commentary speech from noisy surroundings by cancelling out a considerable degree of background noise.	The closed-back HD 25s are purpose-designed, professional monitoring headphones offering high attenuation of background noise. Capable of handling very high sound pressure levels and of extremely robust construction, these headphones perform exceptionally well in high-noise environments, e.g. ENG, sound reinforcement, studio monitoring and audio equipment testing.

We have a range of voice-over mics and headphones available.

To hire either of these products, please call for a quotation.

xstratek provide EVS/Avid integration solution

For a major west country festival xstratek were, again, asked to provide editing facilities.

The HD mix was stored in an EVS XT[2] server before streaming to an Avid Unity. Avid Interplay was used to efficiently manage the data transfer to Unity.

Content was continually recorded onto the EVS and streamed into the Unity before being edited on the Avid Media Composer Nitris DXs. Up to 20 hour long sessions were cut in the suites before being transmitted back to the London Master Control Room.

Additional material is cut straight from the EVS server using IP Director.

xstratek have been supplying editing equipment to the TV, sport, film industry since 1993. In recent years we have worked with manufacturers and programme makers to develop file based production workflows.
