Wireless clipping problems

[Chodemus]

I have been through quite a few wireless systems over the years (mostly AKG) and have only just invested in the Sennheiser ew 172 g2 system, i always had peak/clipping problems with AKG and was hoping that the 172 g2 would rule that out. However, i cannot get my Music man to completely stop clipping. I have it set at -30DB, which is the lowest but still no luck! anyone with experience with this system would be of great help! thanks!!

Is the signal clipping on the beltpack?

[Chodemus]

yes, the signal does clip on the belt pack when playing the E string in a heavy manor! the sound is ace apart from that one peak!

[JonnyAngle]

There is a sensitivity adjustment on the belt pack as well as on the wireless unit. Do you have them both set at -30? IDK

[Alaska Bass]

JonnyAngle is right. Set the sensitivity on the beltpack to a lower setting to eliminate this problem.

thanx for the help guys! have done what u said and the sound is flawless!! -30db is perfect for a music man sterling!

[JonnyAngle]

I've got a sterling with the same wireless unit as you. It's built like a tank, and have never regretted shelling out the cash! ...once you get it all set up that is.

[Chodemus]

Sure it would....unless of course you throw it in the back of a trailer without a case. Mine's been going strong for over a year now.
