PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

Phonak brings boutique glamour to audio prompting

Murten, Switzerland, September 2012 (Virtual Press Office)
Swiss miniaturized communications specialist Phonak Communications will showcase a jewelry-inspired selection of prototype invisity receivers at this year's IBC event.

To meet the Phonak team and cast your eye over the world's most glamorous scripting aid, visit stand 8E95 between September 7 and September 11.

Visitors to Phonak's show booth will have the chance to explore a whole new world of audio design luxury, whereby the sleek curved lines of invisity, the world's smallest in-ear RF receiver, meet boutique-style finishing.

"invisity's discrete form factor, great in-ear fit and excellent audio quality have made it the jewel in the crown of TV and film prompting technology. With these new prototypes we really wanted to reflect invisity's unique internal attributes in an equally impressive external way by creating miniature pieces of technology art," said Evert Dijkstra, managing director of Phonak Communications. "Should we receive positive feedback about these prototypes during IBC, these types of designs could even be something we offer to the market in future; allowing style-conscious broadcast professionals to express their personal style with even their 'invisible' technologies."

Already used by thousands of broadcasters and film makers around the world, invisity is the world's smallest invisible in-ear radio receiver.

"I found invisity much easier to use than induction equipment. There's less hardware involved, and I liked the idea of being able to tune my wireless earpieces to different frequencies. It's simply a great receiver in a small size" - Arthur Rochester, Oscar-nominated production sound mixer.
