The presentations of the band Radiohead continue to ensure a full house, precisely last August concerts were held in Canada and the United States, for the second time this year, after a successful summer tour that lasted two months in Europe. During this tour, the Grammy Award-winning band used Tractec's TOA S5.5 equipment, a UHF system that can simultaneously operate up to 24 channels on ten banks within its 35MHz window and was chosen specifically for Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien's guitars."Trantec's S5.5 instrument packs have proven to be an excellent option. We actually bought several sets as I found it easier to assign them a unique system for each of Thom and Ed's guitars. We also bought additional sets to use in the United States, because we felt that we would have problems there with frequency management, but these Trantec systems have been very helpful. They have been absolutely wonderful everywhere we have been and, as far as sound is concerned, I have nothing but good things to say. Above all this, I have to highlight the battery life since these packages never stop working," said Radiohead Instrument technician Pete Clements.De the same way that he highlighted the technical capabilities of the equipment, Clements, spoke about trantec's technical support; in this regard he said that "if we ever had any doubts regarding the equipment, the technical department took care of giving us a very high level of support and has been very helpful for us. In addition, they are always available to offer us the necessary support wherever we are."
Based on Trantec's S6000 series, the S5 benefits from high-quality operation and true diversity, using credit card-sized belt packs, frequency auto-scanning, built-in infrared data link, AA battery life of more than 10 hours, Intuitive LCD screens and professional metal covers for both transmitter and receiver.
Allan R. Lamberti, Vice President and General Manager, states, "The S5 Series offers a powerful range of features and is available in manual, instrument and hanging versions. It combines substantial performance capabilities with practical flexibility to adapt to applications of any size."
