Wireless question

[Tj smith]

I currently have a line 6 g10 wireless and it’s been acting up during practice last night and I have a gig tonight. I’ll probably just use a cable tonight but what does everyone like for wireless rigs? The g10 would get interference at some gigs so I’m gonna stay away from that. I think it was the 2.4g that interfered with the bars pos system.

Anyways any help would be great.

Thanks tj

I use the Shure SLXD 14. Been using it for the last 4/5 years. Never had an issue.

I have the Line 6 G30 that was flawless but the door on the transmitter eventually broke. Elastic bands to the rescue! The last two years I have had good results from Boss WL-20L wireless. I believe the 20Ls are designed for active basses and the regular 20 is good for passives. I purchased a newer, cheaper wireless system but my actives were not good with these. If I were to try again, I would probably go with Joyo's as I have found their products have been good.

just in case: did you perform a frequency selection on your wireless after setting up your gear in the bar?

Yes. I tried to use it last night and couldn’t move away from the reciever more that 5-10 feet. I’m gonna look into the shure wireless I think.

so, you know how to select the best frequency with your wireless and did this on sound check?

if yes, a 5G wireless is your better bet.

p.s. also pay attention that for wireless critical is not just the distance between receiver and transmitter, for best results, aim for them being in direct sight. for example, you could be 5 feet away, but without direct sight, those conditions are also far from ideal.

Thanks but I was standing right by the wireless. The main issue was the transmitter battery was acting up. The interference is a secondary issue. I think it’s time for a better quality system.

Using a wireless system in the 2.4ghz or 5ghz it's not a matter of if but when you'll have drop out issues.
Wireless equipment is one thing where you truly get what you pay for.
Even with a solid UHF system you may still need to do some basic frequency scanning in some locations to find an open channel.

I use a shure glxd16+ it works on both 2.4 and 5.8.
I was using g30s but with the proliferation of wireless desks and the like I found that in some venues it had a few connectivity issues.
The shure was expensive but imo is totally worth it.

The shure is the one I’ve been looking at. I’m probably gonna grab one this week. Does it have a removable battery?

 

[NotColinGrigson]

The transmitter does, yes.
But it charges in situ with a usb c cable from mains or battery pack or from the receiver (c to c cable)

Sometimes it depends on how close a router is to your unit. The frequency sometimes doesn't matter if it's just blasting out Wi-Fi signal 5 feet away.
