Features include easy setup, true-diversity operation, automatic frequency scanning and interference-free performance along with all the advantages of a high-quality, professional wireless system in a compact, pedal board-friendly size making this is a no-brainer for the working musician.
As well as saving space and weight in your rig, the great benefit of this stompbox wireless system is that you can place it at the start of your signal chain, eliminating the need to run a cable from the back of the stage out to the pedal board as would be required with a rack mounted receiver. The simplicity of this setup is perfect for the gigging musician who is looking for an easily transported professional quality rig that can be set-up in a matter of minutes – and sounds great.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE BELT-PACK UniPak TRANSMITTER
The Audio-Technica UniPak transmitter is solidly built yet lightweight and comfortable to wear. The input gain is adjustable using a tiny screwdriver that is stored inside the battery compartment. The cable connection to the belt pack is a rugged screw-in connector with a regular 6.3mm (¼”) phono jack for the instrument end.
The UniPak transmitter’s power button also acts as a mute switch when pressed quickly – a handy feature when changing guitars during a gig without any hum or feedback.
RUGGED STOMP BOX STYLE RECEIVER WITH DUAL OUTPUTS AND A+B SWITCHING
The Audio-Technica ATW-1501 System 10 Stompbox Digital Guitar Wireless System is also incredibly versatile. The Stompbox Receiver features an A and B output with the option to either switch between them or to mute CHANNEL A with the footswitch. This is great for amp switching, connecting a tuner that will be muted, or a variety of other set-ups where sending the signal in two directions is required.
The Stompbox Receiver also has an LED indicator which displays how much battery power is left in the UniPak transmitter it’s currently receiving. This LED indicator is a great feature for working musicians who’ll be able to clearly see how much life they’ve got left in their pack even on a dark stage and should hopefully help users to avoid ever dropping out due to lack of battery power. A peak LED light lets you know if the signal from the UniPak is too hot – which is easily adjusted with the included micro-screwdriver.
THREE LEVELS OF DIVERSITY PERFORMANCE
Audio-Technica have built clear communications into the System 10 wireless series by providing three levels of diversity performance/assurance: frequency, time, and space:
- Frequency Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies in the 2.4GHz band for interference-free communication
- Time Diversity sends the signal in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference
- Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and receiver to maximise signal integrity.
PLUG AND PLAY EASY OPERATING SYSTEM
Simply switch Audio-Technica’s System 10 Stompbox wireless guitar unit on and it will automatically determine and set the best available frequency (open channel). This is extremely important when utilising multiple wireless systems as it avoids interference and intermodulation. This also means that up to eight channels/units to be used together without any frequency coordination problems or group selection issues. Audio-Technica have done all the hard work so all you have to do is plug in and play!
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
