The scheme was introduced alongside the company's new 'Channel 38 ready' S6 Wireless System at PLASA09. The rack-mounted S6 receiver comprises eight receiver modules, internal antenna distribution, headphone monitor, and USB connectivity - and also incorporates a comprehensive user interface on the front panel allowing the user to configure and monitor all channels, with or without an external PC.
The trade-in scheme, which will work in conjunction with the Trantec dealer and distributor network, is designed to support the end-user during the digital switchover. Mark Parkhouse, Trantec's sales and marketing manager commented: "We are proud to be the first manufacturer to offer this kind of support to our customers. The end user will be able to trade-in a range of equipment from [Trantec] S4.16s to S6000s, as well as a variety of other manufacturers' equipment - we hope this will help to soften the blow of the switchover".
