Need your outdoor event or concert to go smoothly?
We know that anytime an event is outdoors it presents its own set of challenges. Broadcasting or outdoor productions demand highly reliable and durable solutions. The last thing you want is weather to adversely affect stage setup and get in the way of a packed live event.
Neutrik’s revolutionary new TOP (True Outdoor Protection) range makes sure that influences such as weather and temperature won’t impact your event by offering superior protection against moisture and the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Dario Winter, Product Manager at Neutrik emphasizes:
“It is now possible to find products on the market that provide protection only against moisture and precipitation. The sun and ultraviolet rays are, in our view, also an important factor because they too influence the material and product quality over time.”
The newly introduced Neutrik TOP series includes Neutrik’s leading line of products including Neutrik’s powerCON TRUE1, etherCON and XLR ranges — all are approved for use outdoors and are IP65 rated as well as UV resistant.
