What's so special about this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm really interested in this. My Sennheiser wireless has packed in, and I need a new one. It looks pretty small, so it will fit on my pedalboard nicely, and I can leave the transmitter plugged in to charge at practices where I use a normal lead, so I should never have to worry about batteries for it. The fact that it is outside the range of frequencies that are being sold off is also a huge plus, as is the fact it runs off 9v DC - I currently have an extra 12v power supply on my board just for my wireless and that's just no good. I'm not too fussed about this compander stuff - I was happy with the tone I was getting from the Sennheiser to be honest. But I guess that's a plus too. However, there must be downsides? Apart from the price, obviously - but I'll pay good money for good kit. I'm not keen on the bug design, but I'd be willing to employ my old friend gaffer tape to help out on that one. The main thing that's bugging me is the 'line of sight' it keeps mentioning. How extreme does that get? I don't want to have no signal when the transmitter and receiver can't 'see' each other. That would be a BAD thing. That's the main thing I want to know about really before it tentatively goes on my shopping list. Anyone got any clue on that?

Delberthot Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 My understanding of the system is that they use the same frequency as wireless routers use. My router is in the opposite corner of the house to the computer that I am typing this with. I think they're just saying that if you have line of sight you can get up to 300 feet away from the receiver with no signal loss. You'd have to be playing somewhere like Wembley to be able to get that kind of distance. They are selling a lot of the broadcasting frequencies, this system goes down to 20Hz, it has a quick charge which means that you can set up your gear and come back to it an hour later with 4 hours worth of playing time in it, it doesn't have a big pack that you need to attach to your strap. Personally, the size of the bug, the battery life, the way that it charges and the frequency it uses are the big selling points for me.

dave_bass5 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) It might be worth having a look over on TB in the X2 threads to see how these all digital units behave etc. At least, i think its more or less the same type of system. £150 cheaper and i would get one.

deksawyer Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 X2 were bought by Line 6 a while ago and the products look interesting as they're completely digital, and are supposed to have a much wider signal band with no signal compression. The bad news is they're not licensed for use in the UK, yet! June I'm told. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that as these two systems seem to be similar we might get an idea of the pros and cons of this type of system by reading through the X2 threads. I was very tempted to get an X2 but i really don't want a pedal type of receiver, plus the battery life is quite poor i believe. I know they aren't licenced for use over here but i do know of two Europe based TB users already using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I can't currently afford one in the slightest, but I just had an email through saying that these are weighing in at £434 from the UK supplier in about 3-4 weeks time. And the first few orders seem to be going postage free. Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
