TELEX/EV OUTFIT SUPERBOWL XXXVII - PERFORMANCE FLAWLESS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE On-the-Field Communications Made Possible with Telex/EV Wireless Microphone Products BURNSVILLE, MN (February, 2002): When the Oakland Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers squared off in Super Bowl XXXVII last month in San Diego, the action on the field was broadcast to a worldwide audience of 800 million viewers in 220 countries and territories, and in 28 different languages. There were 15 broadcasters from 11 countries covering the game on-site. Also present at the game was a considerable staff of engineers and product specialists from Burnsville-based Telex Communications, Inc. to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The logistical efforts required to pull off the broadcast production for the big event were equally far-reaching, and centered on the use of a number of Telex and Electro-Voice wireless microphone products. Wireless microphones product manager, Dave Egenberger explains: "Our job at SuperBowl XXXVI was to provide the referee microphones for the stadium and broadcast. We were located in the first row of the stands behind the Buccaneer's sideline at about the 10-yard line. I used the Electro-Voice CDR-1000 dual wireless so we could take advantage of the antenna pass through and headphone jack along with the standard Telex referee bodypack. We were able to use two antennas on the four receivers without carrying an extra splitter. The headset jack allowed us to match the gains and sound of the main and back-up systems before the game, without taking up valuable time over the PA. We also used the SoundCheck screen to check our RF coverage over the entire field. Even though there were over 300 registered frequencies in use - plus, who knows many unregistered - we had no RF problems. The system performed flawlessly.
