QTX Microphones

Choose VHF for one or two mics on a straightforward system, and UHF for the compact USB and plug-in sets. VHF systems such as the 171.804UK have up to 50m range, and a maximum of 2 VHF frequencies can be operated together. UHF sets such as the J-MIC 171.824UK and the 171.807UK also reach up to 50m and suit presentations, conferences and vocal performers.

Yes, but a maximum of 2 VHF frequencies can be operated in combination, so two channels is the limit. The dual 171.817UK and 171.819UK already give 2 handheld or 2 neckband channels from one half-width 1U receiver. The U-MIC 171.800UK is a dual handheld UHF alternative that mixes both microphones to a single output.

Yes, spare transmitters are made for particular QTX PA units. The 178.873UK and 178.874UK handhelds are direct replacements for Busker, Quest and PAL units, and the 178.871UK and 178.872UK are headset mics with a VHF beltpack for the same units. For QRPA and QXPA units, the 178.891UK neckband and 178.893UK handheld are VHF models.

Yes, the U-MIC sets use a receiver that takes its power from a USB power supply or USB port. The 171.806UK single set and 171.800UK dual set output to a 3.5mm jack socket, with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack lead included, and a plug-through USB connection lets the port still be used for a flash drive. The 171.806UK handheld transmitter runs on 2 x AA batteries.

A shotgun microphone with a camera mount. The 173.638UK short and 173.639UK long shotguns have a battery compartment in the body, an integral XLRM connector and a switchable cardioid or hypercardioid pattern. They come with a lead, clip, foam windshield and hot-shoe camera mount, so they can sit on top of a camera.

Use XLR to XLR for a balanced connection and XLR to 6.3mm jack for an unbalanced input. The Essential 190.081UK is a 3.0m XLR female to male lead for balanced signals, and the 190.087UK is a 6.0m XLR female to 6.3mm mono jack lead for unbalanced signals. They have a soft-grip, anti-tangle rubberised jacket and machine-soldered connections.
