Quantum5X Takes Innovative Approach to Wireless Audio

The Sports Video Group is pleased to welcome Quantum5X Systems (Q5X) as a corporate sponsor. Based in London, ON, the company specializes in creation of leading-edge wireless audio solutions for broadcast, sports, and entertainment.

Quantum5X Systems’ portfolio comprises QT-256, the world’s smallest wireless microphone; QT-1000 PlayerMic, the world’s only rubber wireless microphone; and QT-5000, the world’s first RF remote-controlled wireless transmitter.

The company plans to launch a number of innovative products, including QR-M1 ENG mobile receiver. Q5X clients include ESPN, Fox, Comcast, Turner, Disney, TSN, CTV, CBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS, as well as the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB.

Q5X recently announced its support for reality TV series Cubicle to the Cage. Produced by Hemmings House Pictures, the series focuses on the journey of a few armchair athletes who pursue their dream of becoming MMA fighters for one exciting night. Q5X supported Cubicle to the Cage by providing the transmitter/receiver solution for miking the trainer and fighters.

The company also created, in cooperation with Reynald Trudell of Silent Sound (Toronto), a solution to a communication challenge faced by the producers of the movie Pacific Rim. The actors responsible for controlling the “Jaegers” (250-ft. robots) needed to communicate clearly while wearing helmets. Q5X was able to incorporate its remote-controlled audio technology into the actors’ helmets to provide the broadcast-quality sound required by the producers.

The QT-5000 wireless transmitter used in Pacific Rim was originally developed as a PlayerMic for the NBA to provide remote control of all functions of the transmitter during a game.
