wireless opinions

[scubaduba]

I've really enjoyed the new Sennheiser XSW-D Pedalboard Set. The pedal receiving unit has a XLR out and also onboard tuner. The wireless transmitters are high quality, bend to a right angle, and have been rock solid.

Alas, I'm not using wireless much these days though so I've decided to put my set up in the classifieds. I've got a spare wireless transmitter I'll throw in for free.

I haven't experienced any latency and no squeeling like I experienced with the Line6 G10 and the Boss product. If you want to make it a wearable pack, there is an adapter for that.

Shame that Sennheiser isn't marketing the system much. At least not yet. People don't seem to know about it.

The latency is 4 ms on that one, so that's pretty good. Turn it off between sets on a long gig, though. Charge lasts 5 hrs. Usually enough for anything, but could leave you short at times.

Line 6 G10. I got it to get rid of my guitar chord.
I like it. There is only one venue we work in where I have dropouts
and have to use a cable.
Rechargeable TX is nice.

I did great 5 hours no problem. And I have an extra wireless transmitter just in case. So that’s 10 hours!

I am considering Shure GLXD16, Line 6 Relay G50, Boss WL-50 and Boss WL-60...

The good news is that because of all that latency, my gigs end much earlier than yours. I'm usually packed up and driving home before my last note sounds. The bad news is that I have to start playing way early. Band starts at 9?? I need to start playing by 7:15

I used to use the Shure GLXD-16. The battery in that thing is unbelievable. It feels like it takes forever to drain. The tuner is very good and it's just an easy overall unit to operate.

I use the Shure GLXD16. Love it to bits. Solid piece of kit, good range, amazing battery. Only had drop out once in a big arena due to lots of other gear all gobbling up bandwidth. Changed channels and was fine. Recommend it.

I've been using my G30 w/ eneloop rechargables held in an inexpensive neoprene camera case on my strap for years without issue.

I had to do the same analysis years back, when the G50 was the equivalent of the G70, and I took that over the G10 or the competing brands because the G system, at the time, had far better technical specs than the competition, but the G10 was just too much structural plastic to survive a lot of gigging. G50 has been on my pedalboard for 5 years or so now, and has never been a problem - no interference, excellent fidelity, unnoticeable latency (and I do some pretty exacting phrasings with my drummer), and so far the only failures coming from transmitter batteries running down. Which they do a bit faster than the display predicts. Never start a set below "400 minutes".
