Bassman Rich Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I have a line 6 g50, and apart from only having it 2 years, my experience is exactly what JPJ said above!! I did notice a slight delay when about 25 yds from the stage, but that could have been the sound from the amp to me rather than the bass guitar signal to the receiver, but no problem on most normal stages.

EBS_freak Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The delay will be the time for the sound from your cab to reach your ears, not the wireless system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaRik Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm still hanging on the 'unregulated' end of channel 70 with my UHF Trantec 3110 system with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Update from my G30 - I think that my TC Polytune may have been interfering with the signal to the receiver. I was having problems when the receiver and the Polytune where within inches of each other, but having them a couple of meters away from each other is much better, perfect signal to all corners of any pub.

timo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm very happy with my G30 and have been to the back (bar) of a 30m-ish marquee with it, gets pretty impossible to play anywhere too far from stage without in ears as the sound delay is huuuge. I use a Thomann wireless holder on my strap now as I dropped my transmitter lots of times, lost the clip and eventually smashed the battery clip and now have to wrap it in gaffer to hold it shut. Does the job though. The pedal board receiver is also great for my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Anyone used the new Alesis yet? Dirt cheap (not normally a good sign) but it's in the 2.6Ghz range - so wondered if it might be decent. I keep falling over my cables but not enough (yet) to warrant 200-400 quid dropped on a Line 6/Stage Clix etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, playing far from teh source can be challenging... but that delay is purely due to the speed of sound in air. It becomes very noticeable after 20m or so (whether using wireless or cable)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 EBS_Freak used his Jedi mind tricks yesterday and there's a Sony DWZ-B30GB currently winging it's way over the channel from Thomann. Bargain deal, £180 quid. This will replace my racked up tried and trusted Sennheiser EW172 which has been a faithful and reliable servant over the years. It'll be sad to see it go but it'll be nice to have something small and compact on my pedal board rather than in the rack (which will now be retired).

allighatt0r Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 G30 Update - The crap little plastic bit which holds the metal clip onto the transmitter broke off, i now have to attach the transmitter to the strap using tape at the start of each gig. Less than ideal. These G30s are capable, but not really cut out for a hard life of gigging, I suppose that's the point of the G50 and G90 units. Also, I have encountered the battery-door-popping-open-during-the-set problem a couple of times...!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used them myself because I did not trust them I use a Levy wireless holder instead. The holder is attached to the strap, and the transmitter is held tight inside. They were about £10-15, if I recall correctly. With regards to the door popping open... I never had that problem, but I did notice that it's easy to leave the latch undone when you think it's done, and then it could open. I have to slide it all the way in. You need to apply some strength on it, then it clicks. If you simply slide it until it stops, it's not really closed and it can pop open then. Another think I heard is that using batteries that are *slightly* smaller than Duracells result on the batteries not pushing hard enough against the lid, which is then more prone to opening. Again, I have only used Duracells on my transmitter, for 3 and a half years now, and I have had no issues whatsoever. Worth having a look, just in case this sorts it for you too.

intime-nick Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I had a G30 before moving to an Line 6 XD-V75 with the metal transmitter from the G50/90. I found the simplest and best way to hold the battery door shut and secure was to wrap a velcro cable tie around the transmitter body (under the strap clip) and tightening it to just put enough pressure on the catch to stop it moving. I never had a failure and I was using Sanyo Eneloop 2000mAh rechargeable batteries (which are slightly bigger than the standard AA's). It's worth trying even if your G30 battery door is OK and you've never had an issue. Edited January 9, 2014 by intime-nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumper Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi all, Has anyone had experience of the AKG DMS70 digital system as it says that it has no signal compression, any is fully encrypted resulting in no interference !? If so can you tell me if it suffers from latency ??? I'm considering this or the sony for regular gigging and am erring towards this as it is rack mountable and expandable. Thanks!

EBS_freak Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Bankai' timestamp='1389416099' post='2334013'] Encryption has no effect on interference, so ignore that. [/quote] The presence of an encryption key within the datastream transmission actually helps with RF hence reducing the chance of interference. There is a slight trade off in terms of latency, for example pro systems it adds an almost negligible 0.2ms but with other systems, maybe the AKG, it may be bigger. I have heard bad reports with the AKG with regards to drop outs... but I can't verify this for you. If you look on the net, there are very mixed reports regarding this systems performance. Also noting, not that it's really something that will have any impact on the majority, but the AKGs encryption is as 128 instead of the standard 256.

xzodar Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just to add, I took advantage of the great price for the Sony Wireless setup from Thomann and didn't realize that the 12v power adapter as supplied is a European 2 pin plug. Doh! Drama averted though as a 9v pedal power supply I have works fine. Great bit of kit though, I've not used it in anger yet but it seems really well put together and 'just works'.
