Seb Vettel Tests Sennheiser LSP 500

F1 driver Sebastian Vettel has become one of the first to try out the new LSP 500 PRO PA system from Sennheiser.
An early trial of the new wireless PA at Sebastian Vettel’s Monaco Grand Prix press conference on 22 May is the latest joint activity between the company and Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
The Infiniti team deployed two speakers for the pre-race press conference; both connected seamlessly via wireless links.
Commenting on the performance of the solution, Alan Peasland, Head of Technical Partnerships at Infiniti Red Bull Racing, said: "Every facet of Formula One is fast-paced and communication is no exception, the efficiency of the LSP 500 PRO has allowed us to seamlessly broadcast Sebastian’s press conference to the attending media."
Infiniti Red Bull Racing plan to use the LSP 500 PRO for the rest of the Grand Prix season.
The LSP 500 PRO PA system can take up to three receivers for wireless microphones and with connectivity including Bluetooth, USB and a range of wired options.
Support for multiple speaker set-ups is possible via wireless links with a single speaker being used as a master to control multiple slave units.
Every LSP 500 PRO also has a built-in music player/recorder that enables audio tracks to be played or recorded directly from or to an external device.
The LSP 500 PRO also offers hot-swappable dual rechargeable batteries, allowing an individual battery to be charged while the other powers the sound.
This, says Sennheiser, extends the seven hours of usable time for as long as demanded.
"The entire PA system can also be controlled via app, which essentially takes over the functions of a mixing console," explained Martin Gurtner, Portfolio Manager at Sennheiser's Integrated Systems Division.
"No matter whether it is the volume, the equalizer or the delay – the Sennheiser app makes it easy to control all of the audio settings."
