Description

The AirLine 88x AG8 Guitar System offers true wireless freedom without a beltpack or cable. Featuring the AG8 plug-in transmitter with a dual-position connector designed to fit a variety of guitar jacks, this frequency-agile UHF system combines professional audio clarity, premium reliability, ultra-easy setup, and a 300' operating range for guitars, basses, and other stringed instruments.

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.
