Anyone on AGF using or have used the Shure GLXD16+, and at $500 how reliable is it at actual gigs as far as dropouts go?

Hi Dave, Does the Sennheiser work OK with Baggs preamps? I have a SmoothHound, which is/was made and available in UK and Europe. Uses AAA batteries, sounds great, and is OK with Baggs preamps - just a tiny bit of squeal. It has reverse polarity power and requires a fully isolated power supply like Cioks and many others. The noise from Line6 + Baggs is the ceramic capacitors, I believe. The more space-efficient surface-mount capacitors are microphonic. They can also resonate when near other circuits. Judging by the color and size, Baggs has several such caps on their boards. Here is a study of the subject: https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b...acitors-part-1 Regards, David

We use the Lekato systems - 2 mic and 1 guitar. Work great. No issues so far.

I should add though that I’ve used it on audio-teching gigs where I’ve had a strange low-level distortion (once) on someone’s Takamine guitar which was remedied by swapping to a cable. We tried changing all batteries and removing everything else in the chain - no effect (literally). Never got to the bottom of it and was the only example of this problem over hundreds of uses and many different instruments. The only other issue is that the input impedance of the transmitter (can’t remember the number offhand) is lower than ideal for passive piezo so EQ tweaking would be required if swapping between passive/active instruments. I used a Boss ge-7. Otherwise great value.

A couple of years ago I bought one of the earlier units, a no-name brand and it was under a 2.4 and I had a lot of problems with static so I returned it.

The higher frequency unit should in theory suffer less interference but have a shorter range.

I am trying to decide where to go with my wireless setup. For years I have been using the original Line 6 G10 for my mandolin. I don't go wireless with any other instruments, I just like having the mandolin free. It has been amazing. Zero dropouts, great tone and no noise. I did have some issues with the cheap power adapter but I purchased a mini usb with a magnetic cable attachment and it's worked great.
Unfortunately, at my past two shows, the G10 has simply stopped working. It connects perfectly but after about 3-4 minutes it's dead. The light just goes read on the transmitter. I have to play around with it to see if it's the G10 or a wonky output jack on my mandolin that's making the G10 think it's unplugged. I did charge it for four hours before my last show but it still stopped working. My issue is, the G10 replacement transmitter is $150 plus tax in Canada. That's half the price of the new G10S pedalboard system. It seems like a ripoff. I am down to either the G10S or the Sennheiser XSW. The pros of the new G10S is that the base itself it much higher quality, it's more pedalboard friendly and I know what I am getting. The downside is the transmitter battery but to be fair, I have used the original G10 for about 8 years so it was pretty reliablr. The XSW I have tried and found it a bit noisy but that was with my electric guitar. The downside is that I have heard of the battery life being worse with it. Not sure what to do! |

I've tried a few WiFi/Bluetooth style for both guitar and vocal.
They work fine . . . except when they don't. They can be working fine during a gig, and then start cutting in and out . . only for a fraction of a second at a time, but it completely ruins the music. I went back to cables. |

Love my NUX wireless guitar plug. The fact that you use the case to charge it in between gigs is a big plus. I also use an Xvive for my mic which works well. And another Xvive for my wireless in ears. But always have cables ready for then they don't work, because it will happen at the worst time.
