Description
This QTX QHS-864.8 pairs a neckband microphone with a beltpack transmitter, giving you a hands-free option for QTX portable PA units. It works as an addition or a replacement for the mic supplied with your system, so you can move about freely while presenting, teaching or leading a class. This version runs on 864.8MHz in the UHF band, suited to the QXPA-plus and PAV8.
The beltpack clips to your waistband and takes 2 x AA alkaline batteries, so there is no charging to plan around. It measures 150 x 120 x 40mm and weighs 97g without a battery fitted, keeping it light enough to wear for long sessions. The neckband mic connects using a threaded 3.5mm mono jack that screws in for a secure fit, with 3V phantom power provided by the beltpack. The beltpack transmitters also accept Chord neckband and lavalier (lapel) microphones, so you have some flexibility over the mic style you use.
QTX offers this range in two versions to match your PA. VHF models are made for use with the QRPA and QXPA, while UHF models like this one suit the QXPA-plus and PAV8. Check which frequency band your unit uses before ordering, as the two are not interchangeable. The hands-free neckband format is a good fit for anyone who needs both hands available, from fitness instructors to tour guides and event hosts.
