AGE-AIR
World
First Vocal Blender FM Transmitter EQ
These days more
and more Acoustic guitars tend to have the pickups and equalizers
on the guitar body, but most of the guitar customers, who are beginners
and amateur players, are unlikely to have an acoustic guitar amplifier
so it seems difficult for them to have a chance of using pickups
and equalizer because the acoustic guitar amplifiers are less various
and more expensive than electric guitar amplifiers. However
general home mini stereo, portable stereo, or car-stereo have the
much better characteristics for acoustic guitar than using electric
guitar amplifiers.
Artec AGE-AIR is designed to be able to
use the common stereos like an acoustic guitar amplifier to
use FM band. The selection of frequency goes from 87Mhz~within
90Mhz range on your free choices.
printable sheet (PDF)
**
Artec AGE-AIR has the adjusted output for the purpose of usage within
the close distance like in the small sized room or cars. But it
is not recommendable to use for a professional transmitter or in
a large space like concert hall.
|
Besides
AGE-AIR has the additional function of mixing the signal
of the external microphone. And it allows the players
to mix their own voices and the guitar performance with the headset(normal
headset for PC) and send them to the Amp and the fm-radio respectively. When
you do not use the External Mic, automatically it mixes the signal
of the internal microphone to be able to make the output of blending
the inner-body sound.
How
to use 1. Turn on the FM radio, adjust the frequency, which
has no station within 87Mhz~90Mhz range. **(The frequency in a station
or interference can cause some undesirable noise ) 2. Power on
the FM transmitter of the AGE-AIR and try to match moving the tune
knob slowly. 3. Set the very right frequency with no distortion
through the fine-tuning even on the status of tune. 4.
With the volume up some distortion may be caused according to the
style of performance so we suggest controlling the volume according
to your type of playing.

complete products which built on(the final-commercial goods). On
the request of the certification from the customers, Artec provide
