The 'Pack' continues to provide all the features of the 'Jack' for which stageClix is already well known. These include rechargeable NIMH batteries, receiver with a built
in charger, 15 hours playing time on one charge, no menus, no compander, a frequency response of 10Hz-20kHz ±3db, 24 bit digital converters, no audible latency (2.4 ms), twelve user selectable channels, encoded transmission, and unique triple-diversity, 3 frequency transmission in each of the 12 channels simultaneously.
And like the 'Jack', the 'Pack' operates in the 2.4GHz band, legal throughout the EU and beyond, and completely sidestepping the government frequency sell-off problem.
The 'Pack' transmitter has two inputs: a 3.5mm high impedance jack for instruments,
and a 2.5mm jack with a very high quality pre-amp for microphones. With this combination, the 'Pack' can offer wireless freedom to artists and performers who use active & passive guitars, basses and other string instruments, keyboards, all wind instrument mics, percussion, piano, and vocal, presentation and lecture mics, says the company.
Some guitarists & bassists want to have the traditional 'wired' sound, but for theatre, presentation & broadcast mic purposes a pure digital sound is more appropriate. The 'Pack' transmitter includes cable capacitance circuitry and so can deliver both. You can switch between sounds just by pressing a button.
In addition, the Pack comes with a 3.5mm to 6.35mm converter cable for guitars and basses, two different belt clips and a Velcro cable strap, and a 100v-230v universal digital power supply with UK, European and US pin sets for the touring artist, all housed in a foam-lined carry case.
Three professional microphones are available as optional extras - QDE 0802, an earhook boom mic, QDE 0803 lavalier mic and QDE 0804 brass/wind/speaker cabinet clip-on mic. They are all back-electret condenser mics, powered by the transmitter.
