Wireless Guitar System?

darrenw5094

I am looking for a wireless setup for the guitar, not vocals.
The main one i am looking at is the Sennheiser options, mosty around €498.
Does anyone know anything about the Sennheiser one at €149. I don't want to waste cash on a bad one, only to upgrade later on.

Also this Shure effort at €400 http://www.thomann.de/ie/shure_pgx14e_r1.htm

What is the difference with different bands D,E,G etc.

My da actually gave me one of the tbone ones he didnt want and it works great! Good battery life and a nice handy setup. I think 99 euro. Never gave me a problem

Do cheap ones 'suck tone' or is it perfect? Thomann home made stuff seems to be great quality.

Well the da found it changed the EQ of his fiddle but thats a different sort of beast will less variables. I A/B'd on the guitar and it was almost unnoticable TBH

i dont tihnk id ever trust a wireless system 100%

ive always been told that if yer gettin a wireless system though u get what u pay for, but im sure theres some good low end ones too, but not sure which ones =/

darrenw5094

I am thinking that too....'you get what you pay for'

sei046

Well i definitely dont disagree with that just saying that this one has been great so far. Another option to think about!

im sure theres an exception to the lss expensive ones too, you might find a nice one at a nice price but yeah i duno which, i need a new wireless router

In Ireland & UK you can only use 863-865Mhz license free. That's what I was told in no uncertain terms by Comreg and various googling for documents seem to back that up.

You could use some of the other frequency bands but then you'd be a bold boy ;)

How bold.....would the cops be at the door??

666mHz

DO IT

darrenw5094

Scary numero 666. Would 666 land me in the sh1t???

darrenw5094

Would this sucker do the job and be in right frequency.

C'mon man. It's hard enough to get the cops to show up when there's burnt cars and joyriders, I hardly think they're gonna be kicking down the door while your mid-Stairway To Heaven for illegally broadcasting a mighty 10mW of power over a range of 15 feet. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised

Discussion of use of illegal frequencies will result in removal of access to this forum.

I have no idea about wireless systems or frequencies, that is why i started this thread. What exactly is the deal with the frequencies??

Well, they all affect your tone. Like using active pickups, or a solidstate input stage on your amp.

Obviously you missed it first time round...

That's "the deal with the frequencies".
