Ejb Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Fellow Bass chatters, my wife wants to buy me a Wireless system any recommendations. I play local pub gigs 2 x 1 hour set gigs, not looking for anything really expensive. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedoghouse Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I don't use wireless myself but the Line 6 G30 seems popular around here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Has anyone had any problems with 4G moblie phones interfering with wireless mics? It was flagged up by Ofcom as a possible problem but I thing we may have had is a coupe of times recently. Is anyone still using VHF mics? I was wondering whether the move to UHF has improved VHF.

Phil Starr Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I've got the Line6 G30. No problems at all but the battery door is as naff as everyone says. Studiospares have an offer on the Sennheiser version https://www.studiospares.com/Microphones/Mics-Wireless/Sennheiser-XSW72-E-CH70-Instrument-System_473530.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The Line 6 mics use 2.4GHz so should not be affectd by 4G phones. The Sennheiser system work on so called Channel 70 and is right next to some 4G transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Studiospares are doing a sennheiser channel 70 set for £125 at the mo. Reduced from £175 apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planer Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have the Smooth Hound wireless. It's tiny, bloody marvellous and the batteries last FOREVER. Jolly happy I is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebassmusic Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I (and a few others on here) use a Sony DWZ wireless system. I use the B30 version but there are several options available here: [url="http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/products/broadcast-products-dwz-series-digital-wireless-packages"]http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/products/broadcast-products-dwz-series-digital-wireless-packages[/url] I bought mine through Thomann as they often have good pricing on these.

obbm Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 +1 for the Sony DWZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Sony DWZ B30 here too......... 1 year old doing at least one gig every weekend and its been faultless in every way. Got mine from Thomanns for £130 last year and they were originally over £300. Metal transmitter with a good clip, 2 gigs easily out of every set of rechargeable batteries, compact receiver runs on mains or battery and sits happily on my pedalboard. Highly recommended and Thomann still have some here http://www.thomann.de/gb/sony_dwz_b30gb_guitar_set.htm Edited September 22, 2015 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have the new (ish) Shure GLXD-16 system which has never interfered with anything else, is in a rugged metal case and has a rechargeable lithium ion battery with 16 hours of playing time and can be recharged from a plug or USB. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkydamo Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm thinking of taking the leap into wireless too. The line 6 looked like a winner but im very concerned about that battery door. Is the Sony the better option? Sennheiser is probably a no-go if as suggested its likely to be interfered with by 4G. The plus points on the line 6 almost outweigh the bad, but does the sony compare regarding tone, reliability etc? Where does smoothhound sit against the sony and line 6?
