Description
The QTX Busker-15 is a complete portable PA system built into a sturdy cabinet with a front-mounted control panel. The built-in amplifier runs from the mains or an internal rechargeable battery, driving a main loudspeaker and a compression horn unit. That means you can use it plugged in or take it well away from a socket, which suits buskers, event hosts and anyone presenting outdoors. The internal battery gives you up to 6 hours of use and takes around 8 hours to recharge.
Two VHF handheld microphones (radio mics) are supplied, so you can start speaking or singing straight away, and there are two further wired mic inputs at the rear alongside an auxiliary line input and a musical instrument input for a guitar. A B/T (Bluetooth) wireless receiver lets you pair a phone or tablet, and the integral USB/SD/FM media player handles playback from a memory stick, card or radio. An echo effect and a switchable voice-over function help your speech sit above any background music.
Moving the Busker-15 is straightforward thanks to integral carry handles, a retractable trolley handle and rear wheels. A 35mm pole mount socket lets you raise it on a speaker stand when you need more coverage. Rear panel controls cover guitar volume, echo, wired mic volume, bass, treble and master, while the front panel handles VHF mic volume, media volume and media transport. It ships with a UK IEC power lead so you are ready to go on arrival.
