We hope that you enjoy the easy and exciting performance that the
StagePass
TM
delivers for your next gig. CAD Audio/Astatic Commercial
has been creating high-value products since 1938 and prides itself on
supporting and developing the live performer. Our design criterion for
the WX1600 was straightforward: develop a high-performance wireless
microphone system agile enough to cope with today’s dynamic RF
environment that is both easy to use and exciting to operate.
The StagePass
TM
WX1600 includes the
following features:
• 100 Channel UHF Agility for frequency plan flexibility
• Diversity Operation to minimize multipath interference
• Scan-Link
TM
technology for instantaneous “scan” of the
RF environment and automatic “link” to the transmitter.
- First, the receiver conducts an environmental
frequency evaluation then selects a channel.
- Second, the receiver links to the transmitter
and sets the transmit frequency automatically.
• CADLock
TM
Automatic Tone Encoded Squelch to eliminate
unauthorized interference.
• Transmitters have Softtouch
TM
Switches with multicolor
LED indicators of On/Mute and Low Battery.
• AA batteries with >15hrs of battery life
