K-Tek Stingray Heat Block Transmitter Pouch

Share

Wireless microphone manufacturers have made great strides in producing smaller and more powerful transmitters for their devices that are often body worn. However, this technology can generate uncomfortable heat when positioned next to the body. To solve this issue, K-Tek designed Heat Block Transmitter Pouches.

The pouches are made of patented, heat-resistant material that is both soft to the touch and flexible enough to be comfortably worn against the body. The proprietary three-layer material is specifically engineered to withstand a continual temperature of 464° F (240° C), well above the range at which electronics are specified. As a result, at the comparatively low temperatures that these transmitters get to, the Heat Block material exhibits amazing insulating properties.

The results are positive, earning praise from professionals. "Since I've been using Heat Block pouches I no longer hear complaints from the actors, about the transmitters being too hot," explains award-winning Production Sound Mixer, Steven Tibbo CAS, known for his work on features, documentaries and TV series

Fabricated without protrusions or sharp corners, they can be used with or without transmitter clips. Available in three sizes:

• Mini - fits Lectronics SSM models, Zaxcom ZMT3 and similar sized transmitters
• Small - fits Lectronics SMV models and similar sized transmitters
• Medium - fits Lectronics SMQV models and similar sized transmitters

Also available in square pieces: Heat Block Pieces contain (2) each of Mini, Small and Medium square-shaped heat-resistant fabric patches.
