Description
The QTX BHS-175.0 is a headset microphone with a VHF beltpack transmitter, made as an alternative or replacement mic for QTX portable PA units. It works with the Busker, Quest and PAL ranges, so you can add hands-free wireless audio to a setup you already own or swap in a spare when you need one.
This system runs on the 175.0MHz VHF frequency and uses a pilot tone to keep interference down, which helps hold a steady signal while you present, sing or teach. The headset frees up both hands, useful for fitness instructors, tour guides, buskers and anyone moving around while they talk. The beltpack clips to a belt or waistband and connects to the headset via a 3.5mm mono jack, a small connector you might also see described as a 3.5mm mono plug.
The beltpack takes two AA batteries, which are not supplied, so it is worth keeping a fresh set to hand for longer sessions. Because it is tuned to a fixed 175.0MHz frequency, make sure your PA unit's receiver is set to match before you start. As a straight replacement part for the Busker, Quest and PAL units, the BHS-175.0 keeps you going without buying a whole new PA, and gives you a second headset channel if you run more than one presenter.
