A good wireless system?

[KASH]

recommend me one please...I haven't got a clue what's a good one

also...do you prefer wireless or the good ol' lead?...just curious

I use a Shure SLX system, I think it's fantastic, however make sure you get one that can be used legally (license wise) in the UK. There are some really good pinned posts on this topic some where!

Only for certain frequencies, buy in the UK and you should be fine!

Depends on what you can spend, as with everything!
Money no object the Sennheiser Sk5212 transmitter with a 5000 series receiver.
More realistically the Sennheiser G2 or G3 system.

I use a cable all the time and don't think I'd bother with a wireless system though.

I didn't track them and can't remember where they were, sorry fella.

Until I play Wembley I'm using OBBM cables. If I ended up in the big time I would get the Stageclix system. Best part of 500 clams but the ultimate as far as I am concerned.

Wireless all the way. Only use cables (obbm) for rehearsal and studio.

Hate using cables live, can't go back

I use Audio Technica. But which ever brand you choose make sure you get a UHF and not a VHF.

Are those Line6 ones any good?

[Finbar]

Yup. Eats batteries though.

Sennheiser G2 for me on stage for my band where I leap about, deliver jelly babies to the audience, do the band balance bit of the sound check from th dance floor and stroll about a lot.
If I ever play gigs with my band using a cable I have to be very careful not to leap about and pull my stack over

Other gigs I use a Vox curly but mostly cos it looks great.

The Sennheiser is the third wireless system I've had, never had a problem with it. Really full sound and good range. It works inside my rack without the exorbitant rack adapter kit too. It also has legal and illegal frequencies in the box so you can be a pirate if you want to, or if, as in our band, there are occasionally other users of wireless using up the 4 practical legal frequencies.
