UK - MTR launch the first mid-priced digital wireless system for guitars from Dutch company stageClix, called the stageClix Jack.

This digital system has no compander or squelch control (because none is needed), and it has a CD quality frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz. Also, it works in the 2.4Ghz band - legal world-wide, and miles away from the under-threat VHF and UHF. It employs a patented 'Triple Diversity' technique meaning it transmits/receives on three separate frequencies simultaneously - so practically zero chance of dropouts, says the company.

Available in the UK from 1 May, the stageClix Jack will be followed by three more stageClix products: a beltpack version for keyboards, microphones, wind and brass instruments, guitars and basses, body mics, piano mics and drum mics; a 19" 1U powered rack housing for up to four assorted receivers, and an affordable in-ear monitoring system.
