If your band requires a personal in-ear monitoring system, the Galaxy Audio AS-1810 Band Pack system with EB10 earbuds may be just what the soundman ordered. Initially known for their legendary mic stand-mounted monitoring system the Hot Spot, Galaxy Audio has been in the business of improving stage sound for decades.The AS-1810 system consists of an AS-1800T transmitter along with 4 AS-1800R belt-pack receivers, and 4 sets of EB10 earbuds. This is Galaxy Audio's top-quality system and is appropriate for professional touring bands. The AS-1810 system puts pro quality in-ear on-stage monitoring in the hands of bands and musicians who have to keep technical improvements within a reasonable budget.One very important aspect of the AS-1800 System is the Mixed Mono feature. With Mixed Mono the performers can have their vocals in Input 1 and the band mix in Input 2 and adjust the volume of each independently to create their own personal mix, or you can send two different monitor mixes from the board so each performer can decide which mix they want to hear on their belt pack.A lot has happened in professional sound reinforcement both in terms of front-of-house sound and in terms of what the performers hear. One of the most significant developments in the last decade has been the quality and affordability of in-ear systems. Attention to hearing protection and an awareness of the critical role on-stage monitoring plays in the quality of an entertainer's performance have been a driving force in research and manufacturing at Galaxy Audio.TransmitterSingle Rack Mount IncludedNaming Function30/100 mW Selectable Transmitter OutputMonitor Output300' RangeUHF Frequency640 Selectable Frequencies/ 32 Selectable ChannelsReceiverTrue DiversityMagnesium AlloyConstruction45-18kHzMixed Mono ModeFrequency DisplayBacklit LCDVolume ControlBattery Level indicator150 mW headphone outputRuns on 2AA Batteries(7 hours-Alkaline)Button LockSquelch adjustmentVolume KnobAuto MuteStereo/Mono SwitchDimensions (w x h x d): 2.59" x 4.25" x .86"EarbudsDual drivers with a passive crossover;Maximum power input of 150mW and a Sensitivity of 120 dB/mW.4' cordCarrying case with a cleaning rod3 pairs of Silicon Sleeves (small, medium and large).

The newest powered model in Galaxy Audio's Hot Spot line si ... Read more

The newest powered model in Galaxy Audio's Hot Spot line since 1998, the PA6S takes full advantage of recent improvements in speaker and amplifier technology, making it the lightest, most powerful, and best-sounding compact PA system Galaxy Audio has ever offered. New features such as the XLR pass-through on each channel allow independent control of mics without affecting the signal sent to the house PA. A -20dB Pad switch on each XLR input ensures that even the hottest signals will be accepted without overdriving the inputs. An additional 1/8" Line input on Channel 2 will accept stereo or mono signals from sources such as tape or digital medial players as well as line level instruments. While the PA6S has been redesigned from the ground up, Galaxy Audio has kept the basics. The freshly designed outer shell retains the distinctive shape of the original Hot Spot, but with a 21st Century look. The cabinet now uses two specially designed speaker components, the new 155-watt NEOLITE 6.5" woofer and Galaxy Audio's highly efficient 1.5" 60-watt tweeter.The PA6S's two-way speaker system gives it a much wider frequency response than earlier models. This means that full-range music such as keyboards or backing tracks will come through with solid bass and crisp highs. This enhanced frequency response makes the PA6S a great standalone PA system for small club gigs as well as lectures and A/V presentations. Plus, a simple adjustment of the 3-band EQ can alter the response for singers who love the time-honored accentuated midrange of the classic Hot Spot vocal monitor. The PA6S gives you the best of both worlds.Amplifier/Pre AmpThe built-in 170-watt amplifier inside the PA6S is designed to handle the most demanding audio situations. This high-tech Class D amplifier produces plenty of power to cover a wide variety of applications. It allows the PA6S to function both as a standalone PA system and as a high-powered vocal monitor to cut through loud stage volumes. For larger gigs that require more coverage, you may simply patch from the Preamp Output to the main house PA, while using the PA6S as your onstage monitor.The PA6S also features a built-in 18dB Compressor/Limiter circuit with Compressor and Clip LEDs. The compressor acts to smooth out transient peaks in the signals, thus improving overall sound quality and increasing apparent volume. The Limiter helps protect the woofer and tweeter from being damaged by amplifier distortion. The Clip LED indicates when a reduction in volume is recommended.Includes a wireless receiver and a convenient mic stand insert on the bottom of the unit for quick setup on top of a mic stand, with the PA6SR angled upward for accurate vocal monitoringIncluded mic stand adaptor insures a more stable and secure placement on any mic standMolded-in yoke bracket pointsMicrophone boom mount on top eliminates the need for a second mic stand for your microphone (requires optional hardware)Integrated handle into the top of the enclosureBuilt-in compressor/limiter prevents output distortion-20dB pad switches on each XLR input allow high-level signals without distortion3-band EQ (High, Mid, Low) to adjust the sound to what you want to hearPass through on each channel acts as a built-in splitter to send signals to a mixer snake or another PA6STwo-way speaker system: 6.5" neodymium high power woofer and 1.5" high efficiency Neolite tweeter allows for wider frequency response170W Class D amplifierInnovative speaker and amplifier designs makes it lighter than previous versions while improving performance Minimize
