Ultimate Guitar Wireless ( 100% No Tonal Loss)

[charlemetallica]

Dear all,

I have been searching for the best guitar wireless, I have read reviews on most of them and they do suck the tone, also the digital line6 g90 does color the tone (thinning & brightening the guitar tone)

I have 2 options in my mind and they are the SHURE ULXP14 and the Sennheiser EW 572 G3 , and I am leaning towards the Sennheise.

What do you think guys, is there a better option than those models, and if so what is the best the does not suck or color guitar tone in any way.

waiting for tonal freaks responses.

I get pretty damn accurate tonal replication from my Audio Technica ATW701G wireless system. only cost me $250 too.

Whatever you do, don't get a VHF-based system. Go UHF or digital (ie line6)

I ran dual VHF systems side by side for years, one Samson, and one Audio Technica - both of which are probably no longer in production, and over the course of about 4 years, I realized that I really wasn't experiencing any tonal loss whatsoever, even with those modest VHF rigs. Both were about in the $200 range.

I was playing a rig that would have let me know, too: a Stratocaster to a Fender amp, clean.

Do you have experience with other wireless units, and were dissatisfied with their performance, or are you simply wanting to "do it right the first time?"

As far as the best out there now, the digital systems have it.

Line 6's new G series get A LOT of love, over Shure and Sennheiser's top end units, even.

Another on the G50. I personally use it, and found it sounds absolutely amazing. I've even used it in recording and found no difference between my cable tone and wireless tone.

The thing I notice about my AT unit is additional brightness. Adjusting the body pack gain fixed the problem. Other than that, no real noticeable difference.

What you're noticing, while purely semantic, is not "additional brightness," but rather no low-pass equalization effect from capacitance in the cable - because there is no (or very little) cable.

In this case, that additional brightness is actually a truer representation of the signal coming from the guitar.

Good thinking there I6. Turning down the gain changes the load a bit, rolls a bit of highs off, so it sounds like the cables we know and love.

the Line6 G stuff has a selector switch that allows you to add a simulated sound of the cable back into it at different levels/lengths. I personally put it on the lowest setting. I like the the very, very small brightness it adds to my tone.

Have anyone tried SHURE ULXP14 or the Sennheiser EW 572 G3, and how do they compare to the digital line6 g90??? i am sure g90 add little brightness, but will the shure and sennheiser color or make the tone a bit looser than that of a standard cable?

Indeed ain't cheep UR4D for 5200$ way too much , I am looking in the range of 1000$ i think thats fair enough for a wireless system.

I know of absolutely no wireless systems that are 100% transparent. They simply don't exist. They're like a guitar cord, just in space. However, the Audio Technica systems are really good, though you'll pay a bit for them. Having said that, though, you should be able to put back in what you lose by adjusting the amp controls.

Do you suggest a special model in Audio Technica , are they better than Sennheiser EW572 G3?
