PERFORMANCE AUDIO
An Uptick in
Wireless Systems and AoIP
Turning to the topic of wireless systems,
Carroll states that the need for typical
analog cabling is a relic of the past. He
adds, " As wireless networks continue to
take over the world, we can expect more
of the wireless audio devices to embrace
this. " From his perspective, many companies
are already using Wi-Fi for their
wireless AV needs. " We can continue to
see this grow, although this might then
start affecting bandwidth availability in
the wireless bands, " says Carroll.
Wargo too, points out that, in a
performance setting, wireless remains a
tentative connection vehicle. " Lags, drops
and degradation are still all too common, "
he says. " While 5G offers promise, it has
not become full reality. " Nevertheless,
Wargo suggests that being able to leverage
high bandwidth wired ethernet connections
is " ...more reliable for high-quality
sound now that digital-to-audio conversion
has improved considerably. "
For Wright, the expansion of the
wireless market is tied to the philosophy
of 'Customers will pay for ease of use
and flexibility.' He then describes how
customers will spend tens of thousands
of dollars for wireless microphones, that
in some cases, never get removed from
The seamless integration and adoption of AoIP makes it an indispensable tool in
the future of live performances. AoIP provides the key advantages of scalability and
flexibility without the need for extensive physical infrastructure.
a mic stand. Wright thus emphasizes,
" Finding ways to use audio/video technology
and making it as easy as possible is
critical [for integrators]. "
When asked about the future of AoIP,
all interviewees agree that the technology
will continue to quickly rise in prominence.
As Wright puts it, our industry has
become a state of " How much technology

In the realm of live performance theater, where every note
and every word matters, the pursuit of elevated sound
experiences has never been more critical. Sound quality
is a cornerstone of venue success, and beam steering has
emerged as one of the most powerful tools in the integrator's
arsenal - especially given recent developments in both
coverage generation and ease of use.
For years, steerable loudspeakers have been recognized
for their ability to deliver unparalleled sound fidelity and
precise coverage, but they've also had a reputation for
complexity - until now. With breakthroughs like RenkusHeinz's
pioneering software algorithm, OmniBeam, the
exceptional audio quality that beam steering delivers is more
accessible than ever, offering simplicity and sophistication
in equal measure. Renkus-Heinz has been at the forefront
of beam-steering technology for nearly two decades. With

precisely dialed into the exact geometry of any space,
delivering the most consistent front-to-back audio experience
possible. But the benefits extend beyond audio excellence
and ease of integration. Beam steering addresses practical
concerns like aesthetics, installation costs and maintenance,
offering a comprehensive, form-and-function solution. With
streamlined setup, it's a win-win for venues and integrators
alike. In today's industry, the need for innovative solutions
has never been greater. Beam steering not only meets the
challenges of today but also paves the way for new sonic
possibilities and elevated experiences.
