Shure's new FP Wireless System is going to find a happy home on many video cameras, especially with the advent of DSLRs – the latest media-capturing miracle, a camera that also doubles as a video recorder. One of the problems with point-and-shoot video is that there are too many changes in the soundtrack that basically don't work. The solution is simple: find a way to get the sound of a stationary mic into the recording device that's attached to your video camera. There are, however, two problems – power and weight. A typical wireless mic is a box weighing a kilogram or two and is inappropriately large for modern video cameras. Additionally, it needs power and the camera is usually mobile and you don't want to be shooting with the constraints of a power cable and some tech guiding you through 100 drunken patrons while you stumble to the ground. In the FP Wireless system, there are two options. Option one is two small cases modelled on the Shure SLX beltpacks, one the transmitter and the other the receiver. The receiver has several mounting options. The receiver only weighs 81 grams and two double AA batteries will get you out of trouble either end. Option two lets you attach a small transmitter to any conventional dynamic mic. In this way you have instant wireless mic without any extra expense. The wireless system features automatic channel selection and everything that needs adjusting is pretty straightforward.
