Sign in to disble this ad
Lookie here folks..... http://www.x2digitalwireless.com/ ......looks like Guy and the folks at Sacramento (now called X2) are back in business. Too bad they won't be repairing the original xWire digital wireless systems, but at least they haven't totally abandoned this technology. I just hope they don't sell this one to Sennheiser too. XD units are supposedly in production and should be available by late Dec/early Jan?? Check website updates for retail outlets and availability dates.

+1.
If you run FX guess it saves some cable, but, I'd rather have it up high protected in a rack somewhere...
$400 is awfully expensive for a "pedal" that can accidentally trashed if someone falls over your board!! |

I'm so freakin' glad to see this!!
Hoarders of the familiar 2 space unit and the un-availablity of repairs or warranty service have made the older units dinosaurs... and folks still want to sell them for $400-$600.
The receiver unit was always pretty light to be so big so I guess they improved on the design. for $499 retail... and maybe $300 street.... I'm in!!
And it appears that the new receiver can be velcro'ed to the top of the rack or on the side in lieu of on a stomp rack... I may need to go back and read the specs again...
EAT DIRT YOU GREEDY XWIRE HOARDERS !!!
I'm getting this as soon as it becomes available!!

I was hoping you'd be able to do that, FT. 
BTW, shoot me a PM/EM about the X2 when you get a chance.

Guess I wouldn't get the high dollars for it now.  This may make it easier to find spare transmitters for the older 905 now, though.

| | Rocks Around The Glocks | | Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Greece, Europe | | | I am so gonna buy this, if it lives up to the name it carries. I was looking at Shure ULX, but in Europe only the ulxp series is available and that costs something like $1400 which, ok, I'm just not gonna spend for a wireless. This one works in a frequency that is legal in Greece (which is the reason why I didn't buy a shure ulxs from the states), goes even lower than the ulx, costs less, I'm sold. I'll just wait for the first reviews to be sure this is as good as it promises to be.
And worrying about it being a stompbox is silly, just leave it on your amp if you're afraid you'll walk over it!

More than likely, seeing as the last one here sold for about $500...  |

Maybe they'll introduce a rackmount kit/hardware in the future.
I'm not in the market right now, but I WILL go check this out.

I actually really like the idea that this new version isn't rackmount, because I use different rigs with different bands. I carry a small pedalboard back and forth, so it would be perfect for me to just add it to that.
Still I think they would be smart to offer it in a rackmount version, or at least sell a rack kit that goes with it.
I'm totally putting this on my X-mas list...ha ha, get it? X-mas!  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
