Wisycom’s fiber-backed audio rig follows miles-long live races
Wisycom provided wireless audio systems to Gravity Media for covering live action events like cycling races and marathons, which span many miles. The solution included MCR54 receivers, MTP60 bodypack transmitters, and MFL optical fiber links to address extreme RF challenges over long distances. Gravity Media highlighted the system's reliability and performance in maintaining stable audio quality across diverse and expansive environments.
Key Takeaways
- Gravity Media used Wisycom systems for live cycling races and international marathons spanning miles.
- The deployment included MCR54 receivers, MTP60 bodypack transmitters, and MFL optical fiber links.
- Gravity Media said the system delivered reliable performance and stable audio quality across expansive environments.
Why It Matters
For live sports production that stretches across cities and open countryside, the immediate issue is RF stability over long distances. Gravity Media’s use of Wisycom’s MCR54 receivers, MTP60 bodypack transmitters, and MFL optical fiber links shows one approach to keeping audio intact across miles of coverage. For the broader production stack, the story is a reminder that wireless audio for endurance events depends on more than transmitters alone; fiber links are part of the chain. What to watch next is whether Gravity Media describes similar deployments on other long-course events using the same gear mix.
