Superior Digital Performance
The QT-AD10 Digital AquaMic™ and Digital AquaMic™ L bodypack transmitters have been developed in collaboration with Shure Corporation to work exclusively with Shure Axient Digital receivers, ensuring superior digital transmission with advanced encryption and spectrum efficiency.
Completely Submersible
The QT-AD10 Digital AquaMic™ is the waterproof version of the QT-AD10 family of transmitters and is fully submersible, making it ideal for any wet, dusty or dirty application where a totally sealed transmitter is required. After use, the transmitter can be safely cleaned and sanitized before the next project.
Trial by Water
Used in reality TV, surfing competitions, professional kiteboarding and America’s Cup Yachting, the Q5X AquaMic™ has proven itself in extreme, wet environments. The AquaMic is also buried in the dirt for Major League Baseball broadcasts. The RCAS (Remote Control Audio System) eliminates the need for any physical control elements on the transmitter so there is no point of entry for moisture to access the electronics.
Product Specs
Long Battery Life
The internal lithium polymer battery lasts 8 to 16 hours on a single charge (depending on version and output power). It comes standard with user selectable RF output power from 2mW to 20mW.
Remote Control Audio System
The QT-AD10 AquaMic utilizes RCAS™ (Remote Control Audio System), a revolutionary way to remotely control transmitter settings from a central computer or hand held remote control. The remote functions allow technicians to control; on/off, monitor status and battery level and make on-the-fly adjustments of frequency, mic offset, mic mute, RF power level, and grouping, all wirelessly.
Four UHF Tuning Blocks
The QT-AD10 Digital AquaMic™ is offered in 4 tuning blocks that span 470 to 700 MHz and 941 to 960 MHz in 25 kHz steps.
