Hi All,

I have read several posts where a wireless connection to the system was suggested, but is that a big signal loss when dealing "mono" music tracks, headset, and guitar? Years ago for one drama monologue where I needed to control my own music que, I took a minidisc player, connected it to a wireless guitar transmitter and stuffed them in my jacket pockets. it worked OK but the sound was thin. Is new wireless technology more able to handle this now, if I bought a good enough system? Will I miss a lot? I currently use an AT7000 set for my Countryman headset.

Thanks for all the great posts. I've been reading for days and learned a lot of new stuff.

Hey JK -

I've used wireless headset (Samson and Shure) and handheld (Shure SM58 & Audix OM5 w/ Samson Transmitter) mics with the PAS and they sound full and natural to me.

As usual with the PAS the gain staging of the entire system is critical to get a full sound. Info on gain-stage setup can be found in posts on the forum.

The PAS is mono by design, so as long as both L&R tracks of any stereo devices are fed to a PAS input it will sound fine.

trroberts,

Thanks for your post.
My question though is not about the stands ability to reproduce the track. I want to know if wireless technology is still gonna squeeze the life out of the music.

thanks

anyone else?

full range mp3 track through a wireless pack. Thin sound?

Thanks-

I'm not a wireless guru, but from what I've heard from others, the cheap stuff will sound cheap and the expensive stuff will be transparent.

Steve,

Thanks for your reply.
My Guitar Center guy has given me his opinion on the latest and greatest. What would you say is THE BEST wireless system available right now? I would probably be looking at a dual unit.
headset/guitar or track

JKStone,

Ohhhhh booooy are you asking the wrong kid that question. I'm still trying to figure out wireless myself and learning more everyday.

Hey gang!! Anyone out there have wireless ideas/opinions/gotcha's for JKStone and me?

Steve

I use the AKG wireless systems (around $250) - 3 for mics (snap-on) and one guitar-bug. They work fine.

Good luck...

I use the AKG wireless for guitar with a POD2. No problems. Works fine.

Sennheiser G1 & G2 systems have a mid level price point, and a good reputation among sound companies as a durable (steel, not plastic), quality unit.

I'll throw in my vote for Sennheiser. I've been using one of their wireless headset mics for about 2 years now....excellent tonal quality for a small transducer, and virtually indestructable thus far.

I would have to go with Sennheiser as well (not just because I'm an endorsed artist) - I asked a pro sound guy that was running one of the bigger shows I did last year - he's got quite the pedigree - and he said Sennheiser.

That sold me....I always like to ask the guys who get a chance to hear every model under the sun in the "real" world and in diverse situations. Word is that if you don't need a bunch of bells and whistles you'll be doing great with the G1 at about $580.00 retail I think...if you dip below $500.00 on most any brand you are taking a risk in sound and performance.

Ooops I meant G2 NOT G1 - here's the model I use EW172G2
