Amazing video, it’s obvious how much time was spent on this video and I’m sure I’m not the only one that is very grateful for all the effort put in!

The issue is never distance which all the reviews seem to fixate on. The main problem, which is never covered is how they interact in a venue with other wireless systems running. In my band we use about 4 wireless systems, all different makes and brands and some of the cheaper systems like the boss ones that select channels automatically, are hopeless and drop out within 6ft of the receiver. Totally useless. The line 6 ones are usually pretty good, but you have to switch them on sequentially so they auto select a clear channel!

Thanks for the reviews.
I have the line 6 g70. Blows me away how none of these systems have an additional wired input like the g70. Line 6 decided to discontinue the g70/75 product line. Wish that companies built in an additional input. It really comes in useful. I always have one guitar plugged in and one on wireless.

[jamesmoses]

Haha nice I've been thinking of buying a wireless system and most comparison videos are old, nice to see new stuff 👍

[mikewrightify]

To be honest when I toured back in the '80s I used an Old Nady system true diversity that thing could go up to 200 ft and not cut out and it had good tone the latency is really super low . Everybody has to have digital now and I understand there's very few frequencies left on the UHF but I still think they sound better for bass guitar.

[CarcPazu]

For what its worth, I've been using the old Line 6 G10 unit in the studio since 2018 without a problem. I didn't noticed the difference between a cable and the wireless unit when recording. I made two albums with it and it was reliable.

[ericschrdr]

What a great review - thank you for the time and effort, very helpful!

[FreedomIsntFree-gdhg]

Love my Line 6 G10. Been using it for 2 years. Grab and go with no chords to step on.

[skdart]

I don't know how you'd replicate this, but when there is a lot of people (WIFI) around and you're using other wireless components is when you're going to see a problem. The distance isn't the problem, the air wave frequency is.

[jamessmith-zkco]

Fantastic review! Thanks so much. I play bass and digital works better than analog . I'm going to rock with the Shure over the Sennheiser. The range on the Sennheiser is crazy though.

[jusplayinmybass]

Should do the range test again with all of the systems on at the same time. That will seperate the men from the boys.

[JulianneBremnerMusic]

GREAT video! It was so comprehensive and to the point and very helpful. You put so much effort into this video, I'm grateful!

[edwardx.winston]

The Sennheiser colored the tone the most, which makes sense considering the analog signal has to go through a “companding” process. But what you give up in fidelity you make up in range.

They all performed well.

[hugocapelobl]

Apreciate the review! Trying to find the best wireless for my uses, this definitely helped me out a ton.

[TheCadillacCowboys]

Excellent comparison of systems, thank you for taking the time to do this. For me, reliability and range are most important, I roam the crowds at all gigs and especially outdoor gigs. I play bass but my equipment is very high end and can replace some missing tone. I suspected that the Sennheiser analog system would provide the greatest distance and go through walls better. I wish more of those rack mount systems had antennas in front. Antenna kits can provide that but waste a rack space. So now it’s a choice of Shure digital vs Sennheiser analog. Thank you again.

Bought the boss wl50 from Sweetwater, no issues or interference and 2 yr. Warranty.

[elchancon]

Excellent video! I would like to buy it, but I am not sure if this product is still available or if there is something better? I hope you can advise me! Greetings

[tedbahas]

Any reason you didn't compare the Sennheiser XSWD pedalboard system?

[TheJimboe]

I’ve had the Shure for years now and never ever heard interference or dropped a single note. Absolutely solid

[felix_blng]

amazing that the sennheiser was the only one to not loose the signal!
