Plug in. Rock Out.
Compact and unobtrusive, the AG8 plug-in guitar transmitter is designed to be an extension of your instrument, allowing you to move freely on stage and interact with the audience like never before. It features IR sync for wirelessly matching receiver and transmitter frequency, an audio mute switch for silent instrument swapping, a battery life LED indicator, and up to 12 hours of operation on a single AA battery. The AG8 is as easy to use as a standard guitar cable. Just plug the small transmitter into your instrument and the receiver into your amp. It's that simple.
Versatile Performance
On stage, the AirLine 88x AG8 system offers outstanding versatility. The AG8 plug-in transmitter is designed with a dual-position connector that fits both Fender® (Stratocaster) and Gibson®-style guitar output jacks. AirLine 88x Guitar also provides exceptional low-frequency clarity, making it ideal for electric bass guitars. It's even a great wireless solution for acoustic-electric guitars, electric violins, and accordions.
Set the Stage
The AirLine 88x AG8 Guitar System is the ultimate wireless solution for the gigging musician who demands quick and easy setup. The system's rack-mountable CR88x receiver provides 100 wireless channels over a wide 25 MHz bandwidth and uses one-touch scanning to automatically select the clearest channel available in your performance space. The receiver's true-diversity design minimizes dropouts, while tone key and auto-mute technology eliminate unwanted noise and interference when the transmitter is out of range. The rear panel offers both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (1/4") connectors for connection to an amplifier, sound system, or recording console. The included rackmount kit allows single or multiple CR88x receivers to be installed in a portable audio rack or fixed location.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
