A wireless system inspired by Apple? Nux B-5RC

[@oldskipper1394]

Somehow I knew you would be the one to test the interference level on this! Great job!

[@alecsneed5835]

Best presentation of a wireless test ever

[@musicsoundgear]

Paid review or not, I really only trust a few online gear reviewers and Henning is on the TOP of that list. I know that he give the truth - good and bad- and he has never let me down on items I got after watching his reviews. On top of that - anybody who cares for animals like he and Leslie do, are good people in my opinion.

[@MarcusFHurt]

9:17 He says "This video is paid for by NUX"

[@ThomasHoffDE]

Love your candid, casual style. keep the videos coming - you do a great job. I miss Germany !

[@Steven_SK]

Run Forest Run!! Nicely done Henning! Pretty damn cool device and you proved the point.

[@chrisjeneson5091]

Now that's what I call a great HP42 test video, Nice one Henning (and Leslie) Happy Christmas.

[@kolchak357]

I have the 5.8ghz ammoon wireless. Amazing what they can crank out at such cheap prices.

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Are they any good? price and build quality?

[@kolchak357]

Metal Head Hippie Ammoon feel like cheap light plastic. But I haven’t had an issue at all. Work great, sound great. Latency less than 6 milliseconds, not noticeable to me at all. Pair automatically. No interference, even from my 2.4ghz cordless phone (yes, I still use one, lol). Rubber pad on back so it won’t scratch your guitar. Currently $59 on amazon. Cheap enough not to cry if I break or lose them. Don’t get the pretty case like the Nuxx though. But for $100 less I can buy a cheap case at the dollar store.

[@RicardoDLF]

@@kolchak357 What about the guitar tone and gain? Any cons?

[@kolchak357]

Ricardo De la Fuente Not really. Sounds great and latency isn’t detectable to me. I’ve used it all over my house and even out on my deck to test the allowable distance. It never dropped out. Only issue is you have to recharge it. Get about 4 or 4.5 hours on a charge. It’s made of plastic and doesn’t feel super durable, but again that is to be expected for the cheap price.

[@mjarbar3204]

Just came from a channel run by some bloke that goes by the name of Glenn Fricker and saw the cable emulation can change the tone somewhat on clean tones but if you are using any effects there won't (or shouldn't be) and difference.

[@jcollell]

The general consensus is that these are solid. They come in at $150 bucks. They should have a clip attachment and cable so you can have is attached to a strap when performing. Don't want that transmitter dangling and falling off with a bump. Nux seems to be legit as far as cheap but good products. Gotta say, I am impressed with the Nux Horseman OD. It is an emulation of the Klon Centaur and has 2 stages for the gold and silver pedals. I paid $65 for mine and it sounds great. You should check it out.

[@bennybischoff4913]

Thanks for mentioning that this doesn’t work with the THR amps. My Line6 G10 transmitter broke and I’m hesitant to buy another because of the way it sticks out from the bottom of the guitar. Maybe I can solve this issue with an extension cable and something to mount it to the guitar or a belt clip, since I play sitting down and rarely use a strap.

[@nodox]

Had the same problem with all my acoustics. A 0.5 meter cord between the guitar and sender solves the problem. So not completely wireless 😢

[@jt5326]

I want to believe this works but I’ve had problems even with the Boss WL 20 system in pubs. We use a wireless mixer, wireless in ears and wireless guitars. I’ve had to go back to a cable because I need something reliable. I’m in Houston TX the 4th largest city in the US so there is a ton of WiFi and cell traffic everywhere.

[@bradgaithermusic7681]

I purchased the Nux B-5RC a few weeks ago and had to send it back. I have a custom built Driftwood Guitar that has an active LR Baggs Anthem pickup in it. When I plugged it in an immediate high pitch squeal came through the amp. Could not trouble shoot or EQ it out. Tried everything. However, it worked fine on all of my other acoustic and electric instruments. My buddy in another state bought the same NUX rig at the same time, and he had the same problem when plugged into his Martin with an active LR Baggs PU. I guess the NUX and LR Baggs product don't like one another? I also have a NUX wireless mic rig, and it works perfectly. I went onto the NUX website and left an email describing the issue, and asked for some tech help/advice - received an email response and a phone call the next day ( couldn't take the call ) At this writing, I sent back the original B-5RC rig and asked Amazon to send another B-5RC because I want it to work, and I haven't spoken yet to the tech guy from NUX.

[@saltyscorpion2151]

I purchased these wireless transceivers and discovered a cool feature. The case has a battery in it that will charge the transceivers 3 to 4 times without recharging the case.

[@MarkKhaz]

Holy shit! Thank you so much for the heads up about the THR!! You just saved me $150

[@chriscuthbertson]

People need to review this type of product in the environment they will be used in, at a pub/club gig.

[@aaronshortmusic]

I just got one and I’ll be trying it at my shows next week. My apartment is also a great test as there is a ton of WiFi traffic here and most wireless systems have issues. It seems fine so far.

[@RicardoDLF]

@@aaronshortmusic how did it go?

[@aaronshortmusic]

Ricardo De la Fuente The one I got has an amazing design and form factor and worked great with my electric guitars but I had interference when using it with the Baggs Anthem. I’d like to revisit it and try it again at some point. I may have had a bad unit. NUX make great products!

[@RicardoDLF]

@@aaronshortmusic hey! Thanks for your fast response. Myself want to use with electric only. Kinda worried about signal cuttoff in a stage as well to loose my guitar tone. Not sure if a L6 Relay G30 (priced similar) could be a better option.

[@aaronshortmusic]

Ricardo De la Fuente The pedal base units can have more range and longer battery life etc. the NUX style is more portable and convenience. I really like the Shure systems for that kind of use. I have a video on my channel of my two favorite wireless systems. Check it out. I’ll make an updated review of the NUX at some point.

[@Linqua2112]

I have the original B-2. Can anyone tell me if this newer version has the gating/delay effect if you stop playing for a few seconds? The led on the reciever starts blinking, it goes into like a sleep mode or something and you need to play for a fraction of a second before audio starts coming through again. Really hoping this unit is always on.

[@johnwescott1500]

Stevie T beat you to it on this one. With fart jokes.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I have their last model. It does not come with the fancy case etc. but it works just fine. What I did was buy a good female to female phone jack adapter and plug a simple pedal patch cord into it. I found an mini phone case at a Thrift store and put it in the case. The case has belt clip so I just clip the case to my guitar strap. It works great and the case makes the whole system look like a high end pro wireless. In short you can not tell at all it is homemade. These things could be made with a female jack in the transmitter and a belt clip on the case. Anyone gigging would gladly pay a bit more for it too. One thing all of these systems do not have is a way of changing the battery . One day they will die and you will have throw it out.

[@gilmarriner3011]

Hey, thanks for the video. I’ve got to say though that ist bischissen (really sucks) that Thoman doesn’t carry these.

[@hatemmegaly9613]

I play in the church before the mass, then sit and play again after 45 minutes. The mixer sits away from me and no one sit next to it. When I play again after 45 minutes, the unit that’s plugged in my guitar already went into sleep mode, which I’ll press on it to bring it back to life. Fir the unit that’s plugged in the mixer, do I need also someone to press on it to bring it to life, or will it detects that the guitar side is active now and connects back?

[@dantahoua]

Hey it's beautiful country were you live! :) Really love it. And I usual thanks for your great reviews. :)

[@RickRomanelli]

Merry Christmas, Henning and Leslie. I love the beagle at the end.

[@aaronshortmusic]

I’m pretty disappointed that no one is saying that this system does not work with active electronics. I received mine today and there is a high pitch noise when using my LR Baggs (active) Anthem pickup. I also had a loud popping sound come out of nowhere when using my passive pickup. Not sure if I’ll make a review of this for my channel as I only review gear that works well...

[@EytschPi42]

if that is your experience, you should totally review it!

[@aaronshortmusic]

EytschPi42 Ok! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWHSZqWDidpqj5o

[@einjarjar]

That was a great test. Next time do just that in a shopping centre or whatever place that has more people innit.

[@godzilla964]

I have those exact wireless units, and they're awesome. But they don't take active acoustic guitars. They will work with actuve pickups though, so I don't know why they won't work with electric-acoustic guitars.

[@Mune.T]

speaking of, why not build a tuner into that?

[@Mune.T]

@Trunk McEight how?

[@Mune.T]

@Trunk McEight can you explain it to me please? :)

[@cresshead]

Epic review/test ....dogs in the middle!

[@MantusRietBaalberith]

Would be interesting to know if there would be interferences if two or more people are using multiple B-5RC at the same time

[@merrillprimroy7420]

I purchased 2 sets of the nux & tried them tonight.. Mine worked fine in my tele but when I put the other set on the rhythm players Taylor (with a fishman pickup) my tele stopped working.. Could only use one set... Paid 250.00 each on amazon.... Anyone else have this problem???

[@AxlAxeMan]

hey the link doesn't work for the Nux product site, I get a 404 error

[@SHADMAN94690]

does it work with both active and passive pickups???

[@EytschPi42]

it should

[@rolandmengedoth2191]

Concering to the functionality with active Pickups, i test it with a Schecter Guitar with EMG 81/85 and it works fine. But with my Ibanez RG631ALF-BCM with active Fishman Fluence PickUps it doesnt work at all. But with my line6 G30 it works fine. Any Idea why ?

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

I like the case and charging that’s cool. An engineer was actually thinking. What I dont like about the plug in style (no pack) is they tend to fall out when you get rambunctious on stage. The extension is a great idea to cure that. 🤠🎸🎶🤟✌️

[@MonkeyKingBooking]

Was mich an diesen Funksystemen nervt ist der doch häufige Ausfall in den Netzen. Was ich noch als Minus ansehe ist die Dauer und wie die Lebensdauer ist. Sind ja glaub ich fest verbaute wiederaufladbare Akkus. Die machen irgendwann bestimmt, wie bei Handys und Tablets auch, die Gretsche oder halten immer kürzer. Ich bleib daher lieber bei Systemen mit normalen Batterien. Die halten dann auch gerne mal im zweistelligen Stundenbereich.

[@leoolivero963]

My understanding is that the C5RC functions on the 5.8GHz band not 2.4GHz. Apologies if I missed that your video.

[@leoolivero963]

My bad, the C-5RC is indeed 5.8GHz, but this is the B-5RC. DOH! me.

[@usta028]

Where can we buy this in Europe. I hope thomann will have them soon.

[@LanzaMartineta]

So this system doesn’t work with the Yamaha TH? Right? That’s annoying, they seem to have everything going for them

[@purplerocket666]

[@StickOnHair]

Very funny :) Excellent testing. I'm getting one for AU$218 from eBay right now.

[@e.g.systems6146]

It's 11:09, and it might be just me, but if I was Leslie I'd just let the audio tell people that it was breaking up, and then at a certain point, just turn the camera away (for comedy effect :O) and start walking back to the studio, and let you walk away. Oh I SO hope she does that! Okay, let's see.... damn! Nope, she missed her chance. Ah well, 100m is far enough. (Leslie, seriously? You let us down....)

[@ezquimal]

Can you try lectrosonic wireless guitar system?

[@nachtjager109e]

@4:56 -- I wonder if Henning always has that much trouble getting it in. ;-)

[@AliNRehmani]

Hello how do you compare this with the Nux B2?

[@EytschPi42]

Not sure about range, but I like the case and charging option

[@matoni69]

Does the battery really lasts 15 h?

[@mikaso]

Thank you Henning and Leslie, that was a very convincing review, I will need to buy this. But - I thought wild animals were verboten in Germany?? You guys sure are brave ;)

[@BaldyMacbeard]

Das Problem mit solchen 2.4 Ghz Systemen ist, dass sie wunderbar funktionieren - oder halt gar nicht. Wenn zu viele WLAN Access Points / Geräte in der Nähe sind, stören sie ab einer gewissen Menge extrem. In anderen Worten: 1/5 Auftritten hast du so gar kein Signal, ansonsten sind die Dinger cool.

[@SGWChaosteam]

Absolut richtiger Punkt. Das Relay G30 von Line 6 hat mich klanglich als Kompromiss überzeugt, hat aber ständig den Stagerouter unseres inear-racks zerschossen. Auf den WLAN-Frequenzen sind leider zu viele Digitale Übertragungen unterwegs um die Wireless Systeme außerhalb des Wohnzimmergebrauchs zu nutzen.

[@JohnHorneGuitar]

I can’t read this for sure but I had a similar set of wireless and they interrupted internet service. I couldn’t use them at a gig without messing up house WiFi including the point-of-sale system.

[@SGWChaosteam]

@@JohnHorneGuitar Yup, although in german you've guessed the conversation right.😉 I've described similar problems above.

[@JohnHorneGuitar]

Sebb Max Thanks for the clarification!

[@BaldyMacbeard]

@@JohnHorneGuitar Yep. I was saying that ALL of the digital 2.4 Ghz have the same weakness. They either work or they don't. The frequencies are heavily utilized by Wifi and lots of IOT stuff, so sometimes it'll works, sometimes it won't. Analog systems have their problems, but it's very rare that the frequencies they use are utilized by something else.

[@guitarz]

[@11KT11]

I’ve got this system but it has an awful high pitched noise on my Martin which has an LR bags anthem in it. The noise is not there on my Taylor but but sadly I hate that guitar and never use it. The noise is also present on my maton. Disappointing.

Great review & excellent live test. Never thought about an extension cable as an addition.. that's a great idea for any guitar without a strat type output jack. Btw, I'm quite sure NU>X (as the logo suggests) is pronounced as Nu-X (New Axe), not Nux.
