i've tried a few wireless systems now but this is the first time i've tried a pro wireless system
so let's take a look at the phenyx pro guitar wireless system
around 130 on amazon the system uses a recognizable standard receiver for the guitar
but this one's got an ir sensor on it for pairing to the main unit and the system will auto pair
and choose the best operating frequency it uses frequencies on the uhf band between 902 and 928
megahertz and it has according to phenyx 165 feet line of sight range and is easy to set up as well
so let's take a look at what you get in the box now phenyx are a fairly new company
as i understand it and they're based down in california they do do a whole host of wireless
microphone systems plus other wireless guitar systems this particular one the phoenix pro
comes in a protective hard case so you can transport it from one gig to another
or from one studio to another and in the box you get a lot of accessories you also get rat mount
brackets so you can mount it in a rack system plus you also get the aerials transmitter the charger
power cable and the audio cable connecting the aerials is fairly simple there's a little lug on
there you just locate the lug and then screw it in about half a turn and the system has two aerials
connect the audio cable to your amp or your pedalboard or front of house
and obviously just connect the power cable
you get a really nice hard case for transportation and as well as the main
unit you get two aerials a usb charging cable for the receiver two aerial extender cables
a transmitter itself an audio cable to connect it to an amp or pedalboard and
the power supply on the front of the unit you also get a volume control which is handy
so you can actually lower the signal that goes into the amp or the front of house
and it's got 100 channels as well so the interference shouldn't be a problem you
can connect up to 30 receivers to the transmitter giving you around four hours of playing time but
of course you can get more receivers and have a few spare so that you can just play longer shows
when i was using it i didn't notice any tone difference
between a 10-foot cable and the phenyx pro system and i'll show you that now
i didn't experience any signal wrestle dropouts
and the good thing was it didn't interfere with any other device
in the house as it's using uhf and it also works with piezo pickups which is a good thing
now i'll leave all links below including a link to the phenyx website but as always let
me know what you guys thought i'll see you down in the comments cheers
