MU-B1 | 53’ Straight Support Unit
Mobile Infrastructure Trailer for Engineering, Audio, and Production Teams
The MU-B1 is a 53’ straight support trailer specifically engineered to enhance and extend field operations for remote production teams. Designed as a non-expanding unit, MU-B1 functions as a flexible workspace solution that complements REMI, flypack, and traditional mobile truck deployments. With 10 fully operational workstations, dedicated storage, and internal climate control, it offers a practical and efficient environment for technical personnel working in support of live event productions.
Vehicle Specifications
- Trailer Length: 53 ft
- Recommended Working Area: 61’ L x 18’ W
- Power Requirements:
- Single Phase, 208 Volts
- 150 Amps
- Camlock Feeder Input
- Working Positions: 10
- Structure Type: Straight trailer (non-expando)
- GVW: Not specified (standard 53’ support unit class)
Floorplan Layout
According to the floorplan featured in the original specs, MU-B1 is configured for maximum operational efficiency in a compact footprint. Interior zones include:
- “Chapman” Storage Room with front-load ramp access
- Cushman and Audio/Office workspace
- Production Area with multiple seated operator positions
- Engineering Bay at rear with power access and A/C units
This setup allows for separation between audio, production, engineering, and logistics—ensuring efficient, organized collaboration.
Cable Infrastructure
MU-B1’s cable infrastructure is customized per show requirements. Typical cable inventories include:
- Triax camera cable
- DT12 audio multicore
- SMPTE hybrid fiber
- XLR analog audio
- TAC-12 tactical fiber
- Coaxial runs for SDI and RF
Live Media configures the cable package based on the production’s scale, format, and integration with other units. This makes MU-B1 highly adaptable to unique field conditions.
Support Functionality
MU-B1 is not designed as a production switcher or replay truck. Instead, its role is to provide physical space, power, and connectivity for essential offboard crew functions such as:
- Engineering staging and fiber routing
- Audio coordination and patching
- REMI and flypack support
- Crew workspace and overflow
- Mobile coordination hub
Its layout supports the needs of technical directors, broadcast engineers, audio supervisors, and other key personnel who need infrastructure without the complexity of a full mobile control room.
Power & Climate Control
- Power: Single Phase, 208V, 150A
- Connection: Camlock
- Cooling: Air-conditioned interior for stable equipment and crew environment
This configuration supports a full day of operations even in high-demand or high-temperature environments.
Applications
MU-B1 is ideally suited for:
- Flypack system support
- REMI production staging
- Overflow crew space on high-capacity shows
- Truck compound coordination (when paired with mobile units)
- Long-form entertainment, news, or live event production
It is commonly deployed alongside larger trucks such as MU-10, MU-11, or MU-28 to serve as the operations backbone for engineering or audio teams.
Why MU-B1 Stands Out
MU-B1 brings simplicity and essential infrastructure to live production environments that require scalable support. Its value is in its adaptability—whether serving as a mobile patch bay, audio coordination suite, or engineering lab, it delivers reliable, efficient support in a mobile format. With 10 integrated workstations, internal HVAC, a custom-configured cable set, and dedicated tech space, MU-B1 gives crews the flexibility they need to focus on live execution without being confined to crowded trucks or makeshift work areas.
