Orbital will be displaying new products from radio communications specialist HME. HME's philosophy of a totally wireless world is further advanced with the introduction of the DX300 2-Channel master station and the revolutionary WS200 Wireless Speaker Station.

For the first time it is now achievable for touring productions to run all their comms wirelessly, greatly reducing the installation time and hassle as the various units communicate effortlessly by wireless as opposed to crews having to install and remove bulky and expensive cable at every venue. The packaging and weight is greatly reduced helping reduce transport costs and save vehicle fuel requirements.

Simple controls enable the system to be set up and operational in minutes, even for non-technical staff. The 2 Channel DX300 supports up to 15 wireless production crew members at a time, with up to three communicating in full duplex hands-free mode. WS200 is a unique and truly mobile solution when a remote speaker station is required. The WS200 does not have to be hardwired to a master station, eliminating the costly and time-consuming task of running cables - users simply place the unit where it is needed, and go about their business

By reducing weight and bulk HME join other innovators like DigiDesign with their digital consoles in reducing the fossil fuel requirement of touring productions. There is an overall objective to reduce the cost on the environment of touring productions by maximizing new technologies to reduce electricity consumption, road congestion and fuel requirements.
