What You NEED To Know with 2.4Ghz WIRELESS Music Gear!

[@askerzie]

Great summary! I am professional network engineer with focus on enterprise security and Wi-Fi and the general consensus is to move away from 2.4 to 5 and now 6Ghz spectrum. That being said, I am also an amateur bedroom guitar player and I really dont like damn cables, so I have bought device very similar to what you have demonstrated at 16:15. It was a game changer for me and I live in a crowded apartment building oversaturated with various 2.4Ghz spectrum devices. I have had no issues whatsoever and battery life is long enough for me to practice entire week. During live events I would think twice about it due to high interference possibility.

[@BobcatsMusic]

Thank you!! Best tutorial to really learn about 2.4GHZ… we’ve tried up to six XVive U3 XLR wireless units for mics and can only get 2-3 working without drop outs … now I understand why.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup! Thats why. Glad to help!

[@KidNaknek]

right on! thanks!!

[@oao8227]

Very informative. Great video man. Your video editing skills have come a long way. Everything looks smooth and is visually pleasing. Cheers

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! I appreciate that. I got some new plugins that really helped the editing look a lot nicer. Looking back at some older videos makes me cringe haha

[@jrivtechv]

Brother, I was a novice and this video just gave me so much understanding! Now I can really be a good sound man for my band and sound and knowledgeable guitarist on gigs. I bought the NU-X B1 Lite 2.4G wireless system just to try something new. I'm a self taught guitarist and I have to do a lot of research on my own when it comes to theory and gear, so your video has given a great wealth of knowledge to become a top tier professional musician and sound support person on a gig. Thanks and you got a new sub and like from me!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome to hear! Glad you found the video helpful and thank you for the sub 🤘

I have a Line6 G30 (which is 2.4Ghz) and played with it infront of about 6000 people and had no dropouts at all, worked amazing.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It definitely CAN work. It all depends on the wireless environment. I used the Xvive U2 in front of 60,000 with no issues. Doesn’t mean that will always be the result 👍

[@kaspar_kindel5415]

@@ScottUhlMusic Yeah, I understand. Still an amazing video!

[@smashogre4766]

Wow!! Super-helpful video. Thank you for doing it. But I humbly offer a tweak to the non-overlap info at approx 8:25. In 2.4GHz, there are three non-overlapping channels that can be used simultaneously. (yeah, I know it's a technicality. Please don't take my lunch money!).

[@jakecaron6906]

I’ve learned so much from you, my old 5 pc band used the xvive in ear monitor systems and the guitars and bass used glxd16 systems and one of us would always get drop outs , and now I know why, also there was one show where we used all of those systems plus two glxd mics and that show was a disaster , and it all makes sense now

We had our 1st show attempting IEM ... was interesting as we killed the house lights as soon as we turned on our Behringer XAir XR18 system connected to 6 units of the XVIVE - U4 & a 5GHz router. So we had to revert to stage monitors. Looking on cutting down on # of 2.4Ghz units: drummer goes wired, have 2 people/channel share 2.4Ghz wireless channels 1 & 6, and Vox CS getting the fancy schmancy Sennheiser EW100.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

6 cheap wireless in ears are definitely not recommended. I highly recommend you watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpjaammojpmHd8Usi=FjxQJMXVHrsd-wGq

[@AmericanMe]

Using a wired IEM system (zip tied along with my guitar cable lol) that wireless would be sweet! Great vid 🤘

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hey, that’s a smart way to do it wired! A bass player I play with sometimes does something similar. Tc helicon specifically makes a double cable for it

[@kkmusic607]

I bought the Shure GLX (2.4) for my bass rig and it worked well 95% of the time. When I started djing weddings, I needed a lav option and got the lavalier set up. It has been a real nightmare when I don't ask the ceremony crowd to turn off or putting there phones on airplane mode. Just like you said, I got the blx and that is a much more reliable. Thanks for the great videos, very informative and well done.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Excellent choice for sure! The blx is a solid unit, and I recommend it over the GLX for sure!

[@RadityoPramAdi]

thnks for the video Scott ! thanks to you, I get a M-Vave 5,8ghz wireless for my bass. Havent had any problem so far...

[@lennyevans4724]

1st time here... great explanation of wireless transmitters

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks!

[@brywool]

...and I have the Shure GLXD4. Dangit. Had it for years and it's been reliable. There have been two incidents where it was osed up, but a quick rescan and syncing of my multiple belt packs fixed the issue. I have 3 belt packs for one system. Tried the XVive U2 ones prior to buying the GLXD. Xvive absolutely interferred with using a tablet to run my monitor mix, so tried them at a sound check and they went right back in the box and were sent back. Never played a show with them and wouldn't recommend them if you're using the Behringer or Midas mixers.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

As long as your system is working, that’s what’s important! Wireless isn’t “this is the rule” but more “this is a guideline for success”

[@bryantwalley]

Scott. I can remember way back about 25 years ago. People's wireless house phones (not cell phones) used the 900mhz spectrum. There was a big move away from that because of the popularity of the new thing called Wifi that was also on that frequency. Now that the phones are almost nonexistent (and the few that are left seem to be on 5.8) and Wifi has also moved on, it would seem that the 900mhz should be relatively clean. It was also very long range and the systems in that range were very cheap to manufacture. Do you know if there is some reason these cheaper units do not go back to the 900mhz band? Did something else move into that space? Edit. I would love to be considered for that IEM givaway. Still a great video if someone else wins. Thanks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah a good number of wireless uses 902-928mhz now. That swiff audio one that I recommend is in that range. Same with the Phenyx pro IEMs as well..: and they all hold up really well. One of my singers in my band uses both of those and it always works well

[@2Xboti]

I'm a software engineer who worked a few years ago on developing a software and hardware comunication system with the 900mhz.... It's used, but not like in the 90s. So it's pretty clean to use now

[@killshot_music6308]

Hello, please make a video about ALL YOUR Gear with specific names of products and all of this (my all gear tour) please.

Thanks Mike! That means a lot coming from you. I appreciate it 🤘

[@Millennial_Mike]

I've had predominantly great experience with 2.4ghz gear... I did have a handful of digital dropout issues over the years... but, mainly was good. I now use a 5ghz for my guitar, which has been superb... solid as a rock. I've used a UHF wireless IEM system for years now and randomly forgot it a few weeks ago... so I used my cheap, backup digital system... while in many ways it was inferior... I did notice the sound quality was SOOOO crisp... I felt like my mix was way more defined and separated. Because of this I have just ordered the xvive U4 system to trail... I'm hoping it'll be a great upgrade.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

The U4 has been the most rock solid 2.4ghz system I’ve used!

[@Millennial_Mike]

Great to hear. I actually use the Lekkato 5ghz giotar system... I can't believe how good it is for the cost... they're like £60!?

[@tstu1701]

Wow. Tons of useful info. From your videos I got the Kimafun IEM and the Swiff guitar wireless and used them both last weekend. So much more portable than my rack stuff. I checked with the sound team and the Shure wireless mics and IEM are at 500 Mhz. So I lucked out and it all worked great, mostly. Had a little drop out in the rehearsal on the Kimafun IEM, and found out that the lights behind me were receiving DMX data on a WiFi router about 10 feet from me. I switched channels on the Kimafun and they worked great. Thanks again!

20:03 “As far as wireless microphones… I would just avoid 2.4 gHz altogether…” good info! Thanks for this!

[@DaleDutridge]

Thanks for the detailed info on 2.4 Ghz. I play harmonica with the praise team at church. I use the Xvive U4 in ear monitor system, and it works pretty well.... but it doe not play nice with 2.4 Ghz wireless mic systems. I have tried the sennheiser plug on wireless in 2.4 Ghz, the Xvvie mic system and a couple other no name systems. I get bad drop outs and inteference because I use a small mixer in my harmonica case and the transmitter of one system is right by the receiver for the other system. Adding a short extension to the Xvive in ear transmitter helps, but I still have to be careful not to touch the mic transmitter. Adding the Joyo (looks the same as the Lakato) 5.8 Ghz plug in mic wireless seems to solve the problem. I am actually waiting for the arrival of the Nux B-7 in ear system which is 5.8 Ghz so I will see if it will play nice with the 2.4 Ghz wireless mic. Thanks again. Love your videos.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you have found the videos helpful! I would however also watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpjaammojpmHd8U You are putting a lot of cheap wireless together at once, which is one of the common mistakes I see. Hope that video helps you out!

[@RobCmusic]

I have the Boss WL20 which I got 2nd-hand, but pretty-much unused, so not full price. It has been almost flawless over the last 2.5 years so far. The occasional tiny dropout has not ruined any of my performances. The Biggest advantage of the Boss IMO is the battery charge. I forgot to charge for one gig and starting my 3rd and final set the light was orange and turned red after about the 2nd song. I had a spare cable to hand, but the Boss was still going at the end of the set, about another 35 minutes later. I also have the 5.8GHz Ammoon system, which is great banc for the buck. If you hold the green button on the transmitter, the sound mutes and the lights flash on both receiver and transmitter as it scans for the best channel, much like the Boss does. I also have a Lekato wireless that works on the 900MHz range and it's ok, but has a much lower output than the other two, which can be a pain. It also drops out the most. I use that as a last resort or just for rehearsals if my other ones need charging.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hey, if you found a system that works for you that’s what’s important! Whatever frequency it’s on. Boss has saved me before as well.

Line 6 has a line of wireless mics that are in the 2.4ghz range and I'm pretty impressed by them. I've been picking them up on the used market for stupid cheap, but I think they're typically between $350-$500 per Channel. Their XD-V75 series can scan and all have the ability to cascade their antennas which I love.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

If you found a good system on 2.4Ghz that’s working well that’s great! 🤘

[@Studio51media]

We used them back when they came out with a band called “House of Echo” which later was called “Dave Tauler Music Group” DTMG… so… those Line 6 mic’s do sound great when they work… but those mics KILLED us in concert and on stage at “big” events… horrible reliability, just horrendous! Always great at sound check… but fill the place to capacity [with every one with cellphones, devices, hotspots, etc…] and it was DEATH! 💀 which is what he’s talking about here, and he’s spot on! 2.4Ghz isn’t reliable, when it matters… in a crowded hall and massive “systems” around [all trying to use 2.4, for whatever]

[@TheChrisDiaz]

Thank you for all the great information! Unfortunately, our singers boyfriend bought her the GLX D4 system and its never worked properly. consistent interference everywhere even during rehearsal. I've tried different groups and channels nothing. We have 3 IEM xvive that work great. Another IEM and wireless instrument system and they all work great with no issue. The damn GLX D4 just does not work. The frustration is in them not understanding how a $300+ system just doesn't work. I forward them your videos but I don't think they watch lol Thanks again for everything!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching! And yeah the old GLXD had a lot of problems, but the new one is awesome! It’s a dual band on 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz which is awesome. And I’m really surprised how well those Xvive IEM systems work 🤘

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Scott. You're the best on the web! Quick question, we want to use some cheap kimafun 2.4 wireless headsets to do question and answer after the show. There is only two of us. Provided the receivers are on stage like 10 ft from us and not out behind the audience, and there are only two of us, would we be able to likely run just two of these kind of 2.4 headsets? Thanks! ( understand it depends on the environment overall but technically many are saying that if there's only two it may work...)?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And yeah, it all depends on the wireless environment and 2.4Ghz specifically. But normally, 2 wireless at once isn’t an issue

Love your videos, this is the only one I disagree with. The Audio Technica System 10 has been solid for over 5 years now here in the Houston area. Very crowded airspace, most of the 500 MHz is off limits in Houston due to TV Stations. I've had 2 times where I got interference on my AT System 10. One time was because my router was in between the AT receiver and Transmitter... unplugged my router and problem solved. Second time was due to a a bad lavalier connector. I can probably count one more time in an outdoor ceremony, where the reception was not optional, but there were minimal drops of audio. I DJ about 4-10 times a month and that's my go to wireless system. I did do the thing where you disable 2.4ghz on my router just in case. I did that right after that one fail, I still recall the venue it happened at. :) The AT system 10 also has a cool feature where you can extend the antenna via Cat5/cat6 cable. I've done it up to 50 feet.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m glad it’s worked well for you! That’s great to hear. However, that doesn’t mean that the information in this video is invalid. The info in this video is still very accurate… just where you have been using that system at, 2.4Ghz has been open and available. Wireless all depends on where you are performing, but again, it’s great that your wireless has worked well for you!

[@DJFrancisco]

@@ScottUhlMusic The only thing I would strongly disagree with is what you say at the 8 min mark. Technically it's not true, but you use the words, "the only ways that you have zero overlap.." because you could use channels 2 and channels 9 and have zero overlap. I know I'm nit picking, and it may have been misworded, I know you try to be fair on everything. You would first need to know the channels that are being used up and find something around, if you can change the channels, like you can on routers. I would say the biggest thing about 2.4 GHz is on most items you don't know what exact frequency you're using. Audio technica uses channels 1-8, however it does not say the range of each channel. I also have an XVIVE, that one does have very poor reception and that one has 6 channels, again, there is no documentation I've seen that explains what channels are being used up. I've stopped using my xvive after it couldn't go through a double pane window for music outdoors, line of sight. I would encourage you to review the new AT System 20, or even the old AT system 10. Like I said I'm a subscriber, I really enjoy your videos, you have a little of everything.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

@ thanks man, and I definitely don’t think you are being rude or anything, and I appreciate the input! But there is a difference between it working well for you specifically in one location and just the overall info about 2.4Ghz. Even this video (which I just watched recently, so good timing lol) he mentions how unpredictable and limited 2.4Ghz is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2TGmJ5ugLt2nNksi=NbUz5BcQ8E8A95jB Again, it really all depends on the environment and what RF frequencies are available.

[@codindebo]

Thanks a lot for the detailed and spot on video. I was interested in the 2.4 GHz in ear system, as an alternative for my "workhorse" PSM300. We just had two days in a row outside festival gigs, me and the drummer go in ears for the click tracks - I play bass, and the first day I panicked because I could not find any free channel when scanning the area. Fortunately I finally got one, but it was dropping out. Got me through though. Same thing the following day. I heard some guy from a different band, that uses Sennheiser G4, that he had major problems finding something free too. I asked the stage manager/ sound guy about it, and they said they dropped the wireless and they have everything wired, because they did a scan for a entire day and the area was awful - it was in Toronto Canada, close to the lake ( boats, GPS, and whatnot). I was shopping for a Xviva, and it looked too good to be true, so I was hesitant, knowing very little about how this things work. Reasons for me using Shure instead of Sennheiser, 1- scan then sync setup - without choosing groups and frequencies, 2- rechargeable battery, 3- I used a half rack Shure mini mixer (for mixing my IEM, without relying on sound guys) that could be attached to the transmitter - taking both only 1U space, and 4- the flawless Shure performance, and crazy rechargeable battery life I experienced from the guitar wireless GLX-D . I was about to go for a G4, because I use and like Sennheiser gear too, and almost everyone I know uses Seen., when I came across this 2.4 mini system, and I was very curious about it. Thanks again for putting all this work in for us! Cheers!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Sometimes my sennheiser doesn’t find a completely clear channel, but I’ll find one that has the least amount of RF on it and it gets me through the gig 👍 so I know what you mean! Some places are just like that

[@codindebo]

@@ScottUhlMusic My first system was a Carvin EM900. I still have it. The reason for wanting to "upgrade" to Sennheiser G4 was the width of the frequency availability. Shure PSM300 is twice as narrow as G4, and Carvin is exactly in between of the two. Audio quality isn't too far apart (Shure and Carvin), and both have their pops and very short "no sound" episodes, but the price difference is very noticeable. Why do I still use the Shure? Because since I bought their rechargeable battery pack, life became easier, and second, the volume knob on my first receiver broke, couldn't turn it off anymore, so I was taking the batteries out between the sets- therefore I bought another body pack (G20 btw). These things aren't cheap, and weekend warriors like me, can hardly justify certain expenses. What is appealing to me regarding this 2.4 thing is portability and , as you said "crystal clean sound".

[@ferna182]

Personal experience: I live on a building where 2.4ghz wifi signal is so bad I literally cannot use it even standing like 6-7 meters away from my own router. I was a bit worried about 2.4ghz wireless gear because of that, but decided to buy a Sennheiser XSW-D to give it a try. It honestly hasn't been anything other than flawless. We're now using 3 sets on my band and none of us had any issues. We played a few gigs, use it for rehearsals frequently... Not a single dropout yet. Granted, they don't really use the same bands as wifi, and the bands are much narrower as per my understanding, but still I didn't expect it to work as good as it does at my home.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hey if you found one that works well for you, that's awesome! And yes, it does transmit on a narrower frequency. I know that when I use 2.4Ghz gear and leave it near a router it highly increases the chances of a drop out. Going from venue to venue is the risky part IMO. But you CAN get 2.4Ghz gear to work for sure!

[@ferna182]

@@ScottUhlMusic Oh yeah I had good experiences -so far-... Every venue is different and that's why I also keep a cable right next to my rack, ready to go, just in case. Also I agree with your tips 100%. If the receiver is too close to a router the range drops significantly. Like, A LOT. I found that keeping them at least 1 meter apart is enough though. Also agree that if you're gonna be using a lot of wireless gear it might be a good idea to keep 2.4ghz at a minimum.

[@elliotcurrie7143]

I need a good explanation of how these can be run in stereo. I also need a link to the correct Y-splitter cable I will need.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

In order to use stereo backing tracks you’ll need a computer with more than 2 outputs (2 for stereo and 1 for click). To do this with an iPad you’ll need to use a multitrack output, because the splitter cable method is only possible with mono. I do that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bFZIBjnb6ne5Y

[@oldmanandguitar]

Am interested in a wireless system, I think I would have to use UHF, 900mhz, because of WiFi router.

[@drewinman7171]

Nice an definitive.Thank you for this.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@phil-good]

Will they bring a XVIVE U4 unit using a 5,8Ghz protocol ? That will be perfect 👌🏽

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That would be great, although the U4 is the best 2.4Ghz system I’ve ever used. No idea why

[@phil-good]

Oh … thankx for your quick response. For my bass guitar I have the NUX 5,8Ghz and never had a failure. I am really tempted to get that U4 😤 I have a small band and play in church with returns on stage…. So I guess I don’t take any risks.

[@二加二]

Clear and great explaination👍

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@pwmurray]

Very helpful! Learned a lot!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad to hear it!

[@jansertrujillo6682]

Bro thanks so much was so helpful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@KHJTV]

I've been hooked on your content for a few months now. Well done with everything. You're great! I'm based in the UK and have just purchased a Sennheiser G4 IEM system. My mic is a Shure beta 87a digital system (I believe it's just the 2.4ghz). Am I likely to run in to issues?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And with just one device on 2.4ghz you should be fine in most situations. But again…. What I go over in this video is accurate for 2.4ghz. You just never know

[@KHJTV]

@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you so much for the quick reply. Legend! Keep up the great work mate!

[@MattMcEwen]

Thanks for the quality content Scott! Does distance from WiFi routers impact wireless mics in the UHF spectrum? I'm building an in-ear rack that will have a WiFi router and Phenyx Pro PTU-7000. Looking for optimal placement of these units

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And UHF will be fine 👍

[@swordfish1120]

Good video. Have you ever used wireless headphones or wireless earbuds on your Helix? If so, does it work well? I'm trying to minimize the cables I'm using while running my Helix floor with my computer. I play through KZbin so I can play lead to lots of available rhythm tracks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can’t use Bluetooth because Bluetooth has latency. Most wireless headphones use bluetooth

[@pleasantlysedated]

This is awesome

[@brcanoza]

Hey there! Thank you so much for your tips! I have an old Shure performance gear wireless PG4 and I'm trying to use it with my Pod HD500X on live shows, but I never get it right (IN and OUTs) with the house mix. Can you please help me?! Thanks in advance! 🤘🏻

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hi Bruno, I have a video on the pgx system here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqWopa2edtCCiKc Hopefully it helps 💪

[@guitarrasfer]

Idk why but I find this stuff very interesting

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It was really interesting to put this video together. I definitely found it interesting as well

[@fabrihentscholek]

Hi man!! Can u help me with my choice please ! I’m trying to choose between the Xvive U4 and the phenyx pro Ptm 10! Which one do you recommend me?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

PTM 10 👍

[@fabrihentscholek]

@@ScottUhlMusic thanks man! another system in the range of 300 usd? the ptm 10 is the best? or there is a better option?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

PTM 10 is the best “budget” one imo.

[@ChaosDP]

Great information to support your other videos.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Yeah I plan to tell people to watch this video when I review any other 2.4ghz products in the future

[@rythmdestroyer]

Excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BlackpitfatherLech]

Just great explanation thnx Scott

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you 😊

[@BlackpitfatherLech]

@@ScottUhlMusic I use line 6 relay G55 and behringer Xr18 both on 2.4ghz and sometimes there are drop outs, so i hope your tips will help

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Let me know how they work! 👍

[@shicgh]

What do you think about the Line6 G30 wireless guitar relay?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It wasn’t my favorite. And I’m a fan of line 6

[@gregcampbell9616]

Hi Scott Great Vid, I have used a Line 6 XD-V35 Mic The unit is flawless I bought it when they first come out many years ago and I have also upgraded the Mic. Our Lead singer got a Shure GLX and as many people have said they SUC. Anyway look into the line6 stuff it's actually pretty good. Keep on Rockin' Brother

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks man! And yeah the GLX used to be amazing, but now there are just way too many problems with it

[@DonnyBartoo]

Been struggling with my band's iem setup cause it's all wired and it's very unpractical with moving around and feeling comfortable, so this wireless setup would be such a big help

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah, getting wireless for at least the members who move around the stage more is helpful! Just remember to not use a bunch of 2.4ghz stuff all at once 👍

[@emersontanakamotion]

Hey Scott great video! really learned a lot...can you say something about antennas combiners and antennas splitters? I am building a system that has a LOT of antennas but the price point of these antennas combiners and the splitters (which I learned is used for wireless mics instead of combiners for IEMs) is completely absurd...not sure if there is a cheaper option for this...thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah I want to eventually get one and explain how they work. They basically make it so instead of having 4 antennas right next to each other. The RF is received by one antenna and that antenna distributes the signal to the other wireless. Definitely the way to go if you have more than 3 systems

[@emersontanakamotion]

@@ScottUhlMusic and if you want to break the bank! ;)

[@MrBarradinhas]

Would it be possible to have two signals on the transmitter? Like with a Y cable? The idea is to have one route from the mixer with the band's mix without bass and the other route connects directly to the d.i. from my amp, which would allow me to control the bass volume, is that possible?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yes, that should work 👍

[@MrBarradinhas]

@@ScottUhlMusic thank you.

[@sasapavsic5686]

Can I get your oppinion on this matter please? I (we are) am using behringer xair16 with wifi router because and in certain venues I had horror with connecting it with the tablet. Do you think there will be high chance on IEM's not working there either, and plugged IEM's will be the better opton? Thanks a lot!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Depends on the IEM system you are using. Dont use a bunch of cheap iems on 2.4ghz. Check out my buying guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpqVe5aDpNKdh5Isi=6oXYjBZbMNvJf78a

[@abbiepadeganeh]

Do you think the Xvive U4 would work if I’m also using the Boss wireless WL-20 instrument system? It’s for use at home only. TIA

[@ScottUhlMusic]

2 is usually fine, but it always depends on the room you are in

[@jgooch99]

Thanks for the vid!!!

[@jrb92163]

That’s Scott

[@ScottUhlMusic]

👋

[@shicgh]

Also, I just saw on Amazon a Joyo wireless guitar system that works on 5.8Ghz, would that be a more reliable band than 2.4Ghz?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup 👍 of course it always depends on the RF wireless environment of where you are playing. But in general, I find that 5.8 is more reliable

[@RoxSantos017]

In a scenario where 3 guitar players and a vocalist are using 2.4 systems for in ears, does the proximity from the transmitter to the receiver influence the chance of dropout? We've been using two of those lekato type systems, and they have much less interference than my ld systems mei1000. I'm thinking of buying two more to use live, distributing them through the stage closer to each musician. But I know you said three max. We also control a soundcraft ui24 through 2.4. Any chance of this working?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Spacing it out does help. I personally don’t use more than 2 systems on 2.4ghz at once, but that’s just me
