Q-Audio 6-Way Headworn & Lapel Wireless Microphone System with Antenna Distribution
Free Delivery for orders over £150 (order by 3.30pm Mon-Fri).
The Q Audio QWM1970BP-6W scales hands-free wireless to six simultaneous channels in a single integrated system — the complete solution for larger theatres, houses of worship, conference centres, and productions where multiple performers or presenters need to be mic'd simultaneously without compromise.
Six beltpack transmitters are included with both headworn and lapel microphone options, all fed through the integrated antenna distribution unit from a single antenna pair. This dramatically simplifies installation and keeps antenna management straightforward regardless of the number of active channels. Each of the six channels provides true diversity UHF reception with independent frequency selection and ACT infrared pairing.
Operating on the CH38 licensed band (606.5–613.5MHz), this system delivers the reliable, interference-resistant UHF performance that six-channel hands-free wireless operation demands. A UK Wireless Microphone Licence (PMSE shared licence) is required to operate this system — available from Ofcom at modest annual cost, covering UK-wide use on a shared basis. A complete, coordinated six-channel hands-free wireless system that transitions naturally between conference, live performance, and educational environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this system require a licence in the UK?
Yes — the QWM1970BP-6W operates on the CH38 band (606.5–613.5MHz), which requires a UK Wireless Microphone Licence (PMSE shared licence) from Ofcom. This covers UK-wide use, is straightforward to obtain online, and is renewed annually at modest cost. A licence must be in place before the system is used at any performance or event.
Is this suitable for a larger theatre production?
Yes — six channels of hands-free wireless is the standard requirement for medium-scale theatrical productions. The combination of headworn and lapel options gives the sound designer maximum placement flexibility for different cast members and costume requirements. CH38 provides the spectrum headroom and reliability that simultaneous six-channel operation demands.
Can I mix headworn and lapel microphones across the six channels?
Yes — each beltpack is supplied with both microphone types, so you can deploy different microphone configurations on different channels simultaneously.
