Sports Sounds Good With Harman Pro

Harman Pro UK, distributor for AKG microphones in the UK and Ireland, recently supplied British broadcast equipment provider and rental company VME with 20 AKG C77 WR lavalier (lapel) microphones for use in their work for television sports broadcasters.
VME provide equipment and comms systems for Sky Sports and BBC TV coverage of many major Rugby tournaments, including the Rugby Union Heineken Cup, Six Nations Championship, and Guinness Premiership, as well as major Rugby League games, and have always equipped the pitch officials with lapel mics so that they can communicate with each other, the television commentary team, and, in the case of the referee, so that he can add live on-air comments on the action where required.
The CK77 WR is a dual-diaphragm, wireless-compatible omnidirectional lapel mic with a water-resistant head widely used by broadcasters in situations where moisture, either from the wearer or the local weather, can be a problem. The 20 new CK77 WRs debuted on Sky's coverage of the historic Rugby League Gillette Fusion Test Series in October and November, in which England's Lions beat New Zealand's Kiwis for the first time in nearly 15 years, and proved to be a Test Series for the new mics in more ways than one.
VME’s CK77 WRs have since seen action at Rugby Union Heineken Cup and Guinness Premiership matches. They will also be used on the BBC's coverage of the Six Nations Championship in February and March this year.
