UK - UK manufacturer of advanced radio frequency products, Trantec Systems has recently supplied its innovative PT1 UHF stereo wireless Personal Trainer system to the brand new Rugeley Leisure Centre in Staffordshire - owned by Cannock Chase Council and built in partnership with Sport England. Trantec collaborated with MLEC's Mike Lowe who sourced the advanced system, which was installed by Stagecraft Systems, headed by Neil Craddock.

Trantec's Active Audio PT1 system has provided a "complete" fitness entertainment environment. The installation involved the supply of the Trantec PT-1 in ear training units and included five PT-1 transmitters, 30 PT-1 receivers and three 10-way chargers. The transmitter units were installed in a wall-mounted rack along with two Sky satellite receivers, video, DVD and four way video matrix. The supply also included three Fujitsu 42" plasma screens, making the Gym facility a versatile, multi-functional space.

The PT1 system offers full entertainment facilities provided via a wireless roaming receiver allowing users to access up to 32 broadcast channels without any loss of continuity, even when using the resistance equipment.

The transmitter is DC powered, via mains adaptor, and features a menu driven LCD control panel, which can display the levels of both audio channels together, or an average of both along with the operating frequency or user name. Leisure Centre manager Peter Wheaton commented: "We're delighted with the system. It has added a new dimension to our gym facility allowing our customers access to a great entertainment whilst working out. The PT1 system has transformed a conventional space and made it truly dynamic."
