The prestigious America's cup takes place every four years. The teams know that the difference between winning and losing is a matter of seconds. In their two years of preparation, they constantly push themselves and their equipment. Communication plays a big part in their success. Radio transmitters are banned and shouting commands over the noise of the wind and waves is futile. Ampetronic, sponsors of the GBR Challenge provided an innovative solution. Based on induction loop technology and featuring the ILD122 loop driver, Ampetronic developed a custom belt pack microphone system based on advanced technology to allow the skipper and crew to communicate on board the yacht.
