Description
The QTX VH2 is a dual channel VHF wireless microphone system built around a half-width 1U receiver and two handheld transmitters. It gives you two independent channels running on 173.8MHz and 174.8MHz, so a pair of presenters or performers can work at the same time without swapping a single mic between them. The receiver slots neatly into a rack or sits on a shelf, and the transmitters follow the familiar handheld shape at 270 x 45mm.
Range is rated up to 50m, which covers most halls, small stages, classrooms and function rooms. The receiver connects to your mixer or amplifier via balanced XLR and a 6.3mm jack (quarter-inch jack) output, and everything you need to get going is in the box: the mains adaptor for the receiver, a jack lead, and two 9V PP3 batteries for the transmitters. Operation is licence-free in the UK on these VHF frequencies, so there are no ongoing fees or paperwork to worry about.
One point worth noting: a maximum of two VHF frequencies can be run together, so the VH2 works as a complete two-channel setup on its own rather than being expanded into larger multi-mic rigs. Signal-to-noise ratio is quoted at greater than 85dB with THD below 0.2%, giving clean speech and vocals for the kind of everyday jobs this system is made for. The receiver weighs 573g and each handheld transmitter is 190g without its battery, so it stays easy to carry and quick to set up wherever you need it.

Frequently Asked
Do I need a licence to use the QTX VH2 in the UK?
No. The VH2 runs on 173.8MHz and 174.8MHz, which are licence-free VHF frequencies in the UK, so there are no fees or registration required.
How far will the microphones work from the receiver?
The system is rated for a maximum range of 50m. Actual range depends on the room and any obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
What comes supplied in the box?
You get the half-width 1U receiver, two handheld transmitters, the 10Vac mains adaptor for the receiver, a jack lead, and two 9V PP3 batteries (one per transmitter).
How do I connect the receiver to my system?
The receiver has both a balanced XLR output and a 6.3mm jack (quarter-inch jack) output, so it works with most mixers and amplifiers.
Can I add more than two microphones?
No. A maximum of two VHF frequencies can be operated in combination, so the VH2 is designed as a two-channel system.
What batteries do the handheld transmitters use?
Each transmitter takes one 9V PP3 battery, and two are supplied so you can start using the system straight away.
