Wireless System

hey guys, it's been a while since i've had a wireless system. My samson wireless blew out after a few months because it couldn't handle bass frequency. I really need a good wireless system (because i jump around way to much on stage to not have one :hyper:) that has great bass handling. I'm willing to spend up to around $500. Any suggestions?

Which Samson system were you using? I've used a Samson Airline Bass for the past 8 years with no undue problems.
 
Check out the X2 XDS Plus...........and get a spare transmitter cable right away, it's the only weak link for this system, IMO.

+1 the cable that mine came with has the straight end that rubs my leg when I'm well, doing anything. It was causing stress/shorting-out on my input jacks. So, I quickly bought the L-end cable which I prefer for any and all uses anyways.
 
Are the $500 Sennheiser units gonna work after Feb. 2009?

Yes. They are closed circuits, that is, they are transmitting and receiving on matched frequencies. They are frequency selectable, too, so if you get interference you just change the channel. This applies to any other multi-frequency wireless systems you have as well, since the transmitting range is limited to less than 500 feet.
