AirLine AWX Wind Instrument Wireless Horn Microphone System (470-494 MHz)

The AirLine AWX puts a wireless mic on a horn with no beltpack and no cable. The ATX Wireless Micro Transmitter clips directly to the bell of a saxophone, trumpet, trombone, or sousaphone and carries the HM60 condenser capsule on an 8.5" adjustable gooseneck with a P3 connector, so you set the capsule exactly where the horn speaks and it stays there as you move.

The HM60 capsule sits in a 3-point halo isolation mount that reduces noise from mechanical vibration, and its supercardioid pattern handles up to 125dB SPL. That headroom matters with brass and reeds, where the initial attack of a note hits hard enough to overload a lesser capsule.

On the receiving end, the rack-mountable CR99 provides 80 selectable channels in the 470 to 494 MHz range, so you can work around local RF traffic wherever the gig is. True RF diversity minimizes dropouts across 300' of operation, and tone key technology blocks unwanted noise when the transmitter is off or out of range. Infrared sync matches receiver and transmitter frequency without manual entry. Dynamic range runs above 100dB with signal to noise above 90dB.

The transmitter has accessible gain and mute controls, a battery life LED, and an 8-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery charged over the included USB cable, so there are no AA batteries to buy between sets. It fits horn players in show bands, brass sections in houses of worship, marching and pep bands, theater pits, and touring acts that need the player free to move.
