Telex Introduces ProStar UHF UT-12 Plug-On Transmitter

Unit Allows Connection of Any XLR Compatible Dynamic and Electret-Type Microphone to ProStar Wireless System

January 28, 1999 -- Telex Communications, Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of innovative wireless microphone products, is proud to introduce the ProStar UHF UT-12 Universal Plug-On Transmitter at the NAMM Convention, held from January 28 to 31 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Booth W144. This versatile transmitter allows the use of any XLR compatible dynamic and electret-type microphone with Telex's ProStar UHF wireless microphone system.

"Every vocalist and presenter eventually finds the perfect microphone to reproduce his or her voice through a sound system," says Gary Bosiacki, national sales manager/sound reinforcement products for Telex. "The UT-12 Universal Plug-On Transmitter instantly converts that favored, hard-wired, limited movement mic into a unit that gives the performer maximum freedom of movement, while preserving the preferred sound quality."

The Telex ProStar system operates in the UHF band in the 690 to 725 RF carrier frequency range while offering a frequency response of 50 to 15,000 Hz. Frequency stability measures .005 percent with an unweighted signal-to-noise ratio of 91 dB with less than 0.5 percent third harmonic distortion. Ultimate quieting (ref. 12 KHz Dev.) measures 97 dB.

The UT-12 Universal Plug-On Transmitter joins the existing UB-12 Beltpack, UH-12 fixed handheld and UG-12 Guitar transmitters, offering a choice of up to eight factory pre-set, crystal controlled frequencies (each transmitter works on only one transmission frequency). RF power output is rated at 10 to 15 Mw as typical and provides up to eight to ten hours of performance using alkaline batteries.

Connection to the UT-12 is accomplished through a standard three-pin XLR-type female connector, making the transmitter compatible with virtually all dynamic and electret-type microphones. Being the same as a standard push-to-lock wired system, installation is instantly familiar. The unit features an audio mute switch, power switch, battery status LED indicator and screw-type gain adjustment.

"The UT-12 is targeted at the MI, education and rental markets," Bosiacki explains. "This is an aggressively priced product giving superior UHF wireless performance to existing microphones. The UT-12 is unbeatable."
