Рет қаралды 16,051
Күн бұрынIn this video we are going to go over what to look for in a wireless system. This will apply to wireless microphones, wireless guitar/bass/instrument systems, or even headset mics ("Britney mics") or lav/clip-on mics. We will go over what you should look for whether you are hobby player, a full time touring musician, or just looking to have a house wireless system for a venue or something like that. Many thanks to DISTROKID for sponsoring today's video.

Hi Scott. I've been using the Alesis guitar link wireless with my bass rig for about 4-5 years now. It's been absolutely bullet proof in small and mid size venues in despite being in 2.4ghz. No low end signal loss at all, which something I've seen other bassist complain about with cheap systems.

Hey Scott!! Love the tips, just came from your 2nd video in this series, and I've found this to be super helpful! Seeking some additional advice; I would like to invest in the BLX14R for my guitar to go wireless. My singer uses the XVive U3 wireless system and my bass player uses the XVive U2.. Would I be running into trouble if I were to use the Shure BLX system? We don't have any other wireless tech, mine would be the 3rd piece of gear. Would love your thoughts on this, since this is all new to me, and I don't want to set us up for failure. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. I'm in the market for a quad channel system for a conference gig that will have me traveling all across the states for next the year. My original plan was to purchase shure axient quad channel rack. But I'm starting to wonder if I save thousands of $ and get away with a couple phenyix 2u or a single ptu7000A system. Wondering what your thoughts are.
@ScottUhlMusic Жыл бұрын
You absolutely cannot beat the Axient. That is TOP of the line quality. It’s the holy grail of wireless. So it all depends on what you need to do. The Shure ULXD is also available in a quad, and the SLXD is available as a dual so you could get two of those as well. If you are looking at something as high budget as that, I wouldn’t get the 7000A. They are good for what they do but no where comparable to the Axient for sure. The PTU 2U is a great system if you wanted to get two of them, but again it really depends on your goals with it and the distance the wireless needs to go, and how much wireless will also be used, and how “mission critical” it is that your wireless works. The PTU is a good unit, but I would recommend going for Shure slxd at least if you need something extremely reliable. ULXD and Axient are also options if you have the budget for it 👍

Scott , help! Looking for a wireless for bass with active emg pickups. One that won't have interference.
@ScottUhlMusic Жыл бұрын
I just filmed a video for “does it work with xyz pickups.” My answer is always to try it as soon as you get it, if it doesn’t work with your exact setup, return it. Most work with active pickups, but you never know. Interference is a completely separate thing and is dependent on venue to venue. Want more reliability? Gotta spend the money. Expensive wireless have many more wireless frequencies to chose from.

Hi Scott! Thank you so much for your helpful videos! Does it really matter which band you purchase for your wireless system (ex: H50, G50, etc.) or should it be ok to go with any of them? I’m planning on getting 2 separate Shure QLXD systems for a wireless SM58 mic & electric guitar and 2 Sennheiser ew-300 G4 systems for our IEM setup.
@ScottUhlMusic Жыл бұрын
No not really. I do try to space them out as much as possible, but if you are buying high end stuff like those units it’s not really necessary unless you are buying a whole lot of them. Just always check to make sure the band is legal wherever you are 🤘 you mostly just have to worry about that when buying used

Obviously I have recently just discovered your vids, so I keep commenting on older content, so my apologies. What I will say about this video is that the information is awesome and well presented, however, it could have really just been a shot of you walking into a music store, plopping down $1200, and asking them to give you something that actually works. IME that’s the only way to use wireless, at least on a professional level, lol. Even at that level, their are times when you just have to give up and go wired, so always be prepared for that possibility (I’m looking at you, State Fair of Texas). I’m serious about the $1200 thing, but that’s not to disparage the video at all. There is still a lot of great info in it. Single channel systems are not bad for a soundcheck talkback solution if your FOH guy is willing to wear the dreaded “Brittany mic”. Shure even makes an inline keying switch, with which they can conduct the soundcheck while avoiding room bleed in their TB mic (when that single channel is available at least, I’m looking you again, State Fair of Texas).
@ScottUhlMusic Жыл бұрын
Hey if you have the budget for $1200, you will be very happy with your wireless! I am a full time musician, and my main wireless for ears, guitar, and vocals, were all about $900 each. However, my band mates (and myself sometimes) do perform with $500 mics, $200 IEMs, and even $50 wireless guitar systems. They do work. You’ll never complain about having the higher end stuff, but not everyone has a budget for it 👍
@stevesheroan4131 Жыл бұрын
@@ScottUhlMusic I don’t have the budget for it either, lol, but after a few embarrassing situations and a few unbearable situations I just had to pony up. You’re right, it’s not within everyone’s budget and people can certainly be content with more affordable options, I’m just a bit jaded I guess. My QLX-D guitar wireless has been flawless no matter where we’ve been (even Texas), and I’m hoping my recently purchased SLX-D mic system will be just as reliable. My bigger point was to be prepared in case wireless is a bust, and I really wasn’t meaning to challenge your video’s message. Sorry if it came across that way.
