Wireless intercom system works for Wuhan esports ceremony
Hollyland has supplied a Solidcom M1 wireless intercom system for the second Esports China Annual Ceremony in Wuhan. Co-hosted by People’s Sports of China, Optics Valley China Film Esports Technology and Wuhan Cultural Investment Development, the ceremony was attended by esports representatives, as well as those within broadcasting, commentators and journalists.
The event faced several challenges before it even began. The site is about 80m long and 50m wide, and the production team needed to manage everything on-site from hosting guests, setting up calling cues, preparing teleprompters, timing speeches, escorting performers to and from the stage, all while being efficient and accurate.
The Solidcom M1 full-duplex wireless intercom solution comes with eight beltpacks and eight LEMO headsets, a base station, and other accessories. The show’s team members, director, project manager, show caller, audio engineer, lighting engineer, stage manager, graphics operator and technical director were all equipped with a beltback and LEMO headset.
The sidetone function of the Solidcom M1 helps the director to ensure that the mic is picking up their voice but is useful in adjusting the volume too. For the project manager, three talk groups can be set up within a single system, meaning that they can communicate with the audio engineer, for example, within seconds, which is key to keeping to a tight schedule.
Organisers said that they were provided wider coverage, better audio quality and more reliable communications. A spokesperson for Hollyland concluded: “The Solidcom M1 wireless intercom system empowered the event production team to communicate easily and collaborate more effectively to deliver a smoothly run and successful ceremony."
