Trantec Supplies Glasgow Gang Show
RF Specialist Trantec Systems recently collaborated with Sussex based Audio distributor and installer CommsAndSound to supply their innovative S4000 UHF radio microphone system for the annual Glasgow Gang Show, staged at the Mitchell theatre in Glasgow's City Centre.
Produced by the Greater Glasgow Scout Council, this the longest running Gang Show in the world, the first production took place before the 2nd World War in 1936 at the Alhambra Theatre.
CommsAndSound MD Brian Tugwell specified Trantec's S4000 for its dynamic range and frequency agility. Boasting the latest PLL tuning technology, it provided an adaptable, cost efficient and flexible solution as well as giving superb audio quality. The 10 x channel system comprised eight of the new very low profile lapel TS212 microphones together with the body-packs transmitters and two hand held microphones. The receivers were mounted in a rack case with power distribution, whilst the aerials were all wired into antenna distribution units and out to two remote dipole antennas.
Tugwell commented:
' Trantec provided superb quality and service, the S4000 system is also great value for money. It is enormously flexible and ideal in a live environment such as this. The Trantec team were great supplying the system to very tight deadline. We're looking forward to working with them more into 2005.'
The Gang Show variety shows are staged by the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Associations and were founded in the UK by Ralph Reader in 1932. Since then they have become a Scouting tradition around the world, with hundreds of Boys Scouts and Girl Guides getting involved with the modern aspects of theatre every year.
For over a decade Trantec has been applauded for its commitment to creating radio products that are cutting-edge and manufactured in the UK to the highest specifications � making Trantec synonymous with innovation and quality.
