Please recommend a wireless adaptor for stage mic

[Al Krow]

Our singer has just upgraded her Shure SM58 to an AKG D7S which provides much better directionality and lower feedback.

 

She would like to add a really good wireless adaptor which is hopefully not massively expensive. What would you recommend?

The only one I’ve had any experience with is the Xvive U3, which worked perfectly and played nicely with two Xvive IEM systems but is £170 so might be considered pricey.

Looking for low latency too and analogue UHF adaptors seem to claim very low latencies, despite being very budget. Is that correct? 

 

[JPJ]

As I understand it, Yes analogue should always be lower latency as there is no analogue to digital followed by digital to analogue conversion, but there’s then the issue of legal frequency and the old picking up the passing taxi if you’re on the same wavelength.

Hi Al, I would go back to @EBS_freak's in ears bible. All of the analogue vs digital radio connection issues are discussed there. The problem with analogue is the companders. Poor quality UHF systems degrade the sound quality so that is the problem rather than latency.
