Another one you might want to check out is the X2 digital guitar sytems. They're supposed to be really great!]]> Guitar Players Discussion jtb226 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272682 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272538 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:45:26 +0000

We also have several wireless mics and have never had the problems that Ricochet describes.]]> Guitar Players Discussion slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272538 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272531 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:19:25 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion andy_limp182 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272531 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272180 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 04:16:44 +0000 Also, be aware that if it's wireless, it can be jacked. That is, you might not have control of it. Even something as simple as a Remote-control TV is open game.
A favorite ploy of students is to turn on the class TV during a lecture by remote control. How? Certain Casio watches had the ability to send out "wireless" signals. And this was 10 years ago.
You won't necessarily be in control of your guitar. You might see products coming out later that have encrypted signals because of this. Who knows?
I didn't think a cable was that cumbersome.

That two foot cord isn't connecting your guitar to a "battery pack" on your strap. The box that rides on your strap is the wireless system radio transmitter.

I've seen guitar systems advertised where the transmitter is a little box with at 1/4" male connector sticking out of it that just plugs right into the jack on your guitar. The Samson Airline system you mention looks like such a system; AKG makes a system named "Guitarbug" that appears to be similar. You might have a look at that, and search around to see what else is out there.

My experience doesn't extend to either of these systems; the ones I work with, currently, are Sennheiser Evolution series systems, and I like them a lot. They do make a musical instrument model, which is essentially the same as a vocal mic model except that it includes an instrument cord.

Having dealt with the headaches that come with wireless systems for some time, my advice would be to pick a system based on it's reliability. If you can find a system where the transmitter hangs right off the guitar jack that works reliably that's great. But be willing to go with something that has a cord and a transmitter pack that clips to your strap if that system is going to get a better signal to the receiver.]]> Guitar Players Discussion quarterfront https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-272136 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/wireless-guitar-systems/#post-29074 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 18:57:57 +0000
