New MiPro Digital IEM is here!

hmm, looks like nice stuff (and i'm no kind of expert here, maybe @Geri O could set me straight) but i'm not sure it's really "digital" in the sense of sending 1s and 0s over a wi-fi band like say the line 6 guitar wireless.

i think shure does something like this already, sort of "digitally-controlled analog" wireless.

probably just as well, actual digital wireless still has some latency, which would likely wreck the IEM experience. (line 6 has it down to like 1.5ms on their very latest guitar stuff, but that's still not zero like analog.)
 
Actually, Walter is right, it operates over standard airwaves, i.e 470~664 MHz. So that's not the same thing as Line 6 on the 2.4G or 5G wifi band. Which is fine with me, I'm kinda wary of devices like the Line 6 and Shure ULX-D series that operate on wifi bands. They are getting terribly crowded. I've written about a few experiences with digital console control over wifi and iPads with a Line 6 unit nearby. However, I still seem to be the only person on the planet that's worried about this (well, me and our RF Frequency co-ordinator at church who co-ordinates over 60 frequencies every Sunday and Wednesday).

Looking over its webpage, it looks like they "digitaled" it up with some DSP controlling some functions, which isn't new or earth-shattering. Other than that, I can't see a big advance in the technology.

Nonetheless, this looks like good stuff (except for the earbuds!). OP, Report back with your experiences with it.

(And there goes the goofy font size thing again!)
