More EPM Mixers added to rental stock, and all radio mics covered by our shared radio mic license

Ideal for smaller events, the Soundcraft EPM 8 and EPM 12 mixers pack a lot of features into a compact package. Offering 8 mono plus 2 stereo channels or 12 mono plus 2 stereo channels, the range of inputs and easy to access channel EQ mean these mixers are easy to use, and are also attractively priced. The EPM8 is the control at the heart of the popular ‘Ipod Party Package’ PA system – and these desks can also be hired individually, see here for prices.

IPS has recently renewed our Radio Mic License, which enables us and anyone using our equipment on a rental basis permission to use our Shure and Sennheiser UHF Radio Mic Systems. Any frequency with the Channel 38 band can be used, which covers 606.500 to 613.500 MHz, subject to the conditions as set out in the license. As you’ll no doubt be aware any old channel 69 equipment can no longer be used legally in the UK – check here for frequency details if you are unsure. A laminated copy of the IPS license will be sent out with all radio mic systems to enable users to demonstrate that they have the appropriate authorisation to use the equipment as supplied.

IPS radio mic systems can be hired in many different combinations, with a range of handheld, lavalier and headset transmitters. The popular Sennheiser systems are stocked in single kits, along with Four Way and Eight Way racks. The racks provide especially good value for money as they also include antenna distribution systems, and remote antennas for optimal coverage. Sennheiser suggest that up to 12 wireless channels can be used together, and the suggested frequencies are as follows:

The Shure radio mic systems that are stocked by IPS offer rider friendly Beta 58A handheld mics for more demanding applications, and there are also beltpacks and lavalier options for these systems too, as well as an active antenna distribution system. IPS also has IEM systems in stock for monitoring applications – along with a range of different stage monitoring options.

Alongside the radio mic options, IPS also has a range of wired microphones in stock including a recently bolstered stock of the legendary Shure Beta 58A mic, and various other models for drum, instrument and vocal applications. IPS also stocks all the other sound equipment needed to make sure that you can be heard at your next event, from stage monitors to DJ gear to full PA systems – and pretty much everything in-between.
