Shure’s first wireless lapel mic can connect to your phone without a receiver

On Tuesday, Shure unveiled its better-late-than-never entry into the creator-focused wireless consumer lapel mic space. The audio company’s MoveMic system — available in single-channel (the $249 MoveMic One) and dual-channel (the $349 MoveMic Two) models — joins an increasingly crowded space of wireless lavalier mics alongside three tiers of Rode’s Wireless Go system and two iterations of DJI’s Mic.Most products in this space require a receiver for your phone, but Shure offers direct-to-phone wireless transmission —…

Meta Quest could soon become an AirPlay receiver

In a post on X/Twitter, the VP of MR/VR at Meta, Mark Rabkin, has revealed that Meta has requested Apple to allow the Quest headset (most likely the Quest 3) to be an AirPlay receiver, which would allow people to play content from their Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, to the Meta Quest headsets wirelessly. The Meta Quest lacks applications for many media streaming platforms, and the ones that are available on the headset are lackluster, missing out on many features. The ability to play content from Apple…

Ask Farmer: Why does the referee have to announce an eligible receiver? Why not make the defense figure it out?

Why does the referee have to announce “Number 65 is reporting as an eligible receiver”? Why not make the defense figure out who’s eligible pre-snap?Kenny MayneSeattleFarmer: First, let’s establish what defines an eligible and ineligible receiver.

Anyone on the line of scrimmage but inside the right-most or left-most…

The WiiM Amp is a stream-everything receiver with Mac Mini vibes

Linkplay Technology announced a new addition to its lineup today: the WiiM Amp. The $299 device serves as a receiver with a decidedly vintage focus, even more so than the WiiM Pro Plus that the company launched earlier this year, thanks to physical outputs that let you output directly to a set of old-school passive stereo speakers. The WiiM Amp is now the priciest streaming box from the company, but it’s possible it earns it for the right person. It’s more versatile than most compact AirPlay 2 receivers thanks to…

Skid Row Housing Trust receiver Mark Adams has checkered history

Two years later, a third of the spots are vacant and the remaining tenants face eviction.In the Coachella Valley, Adams acted as receiver over a community of 4,000, primarily migrant…

MIT’s Tiny Terahertz Receiver Preserves IoT Battery Life

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have built a wake-up receiver that communicates using terahertz waves, which enabled them to produce a chip more than 10 times smaller than similar devices. Their receiver, which also includes authentication to protect it from a certain type of attack, could help preserve the battery life of tiny sensors or robots.
