Members stangconv Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Been casually looking for some used wireless mics, and wireless guitar systems. Came across these 2 fairly close to home. I have NO clue about wireless anything, but I am wanting to learn. Shure T4A system. $150 http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-other-Shure-Performance-Wireless-System-T4A-W0QQAdIdZ177808298 Shure PG14 $200 http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-amps-pedals-Shure-PG14-UHF-Wireless-Guitar-System-W0QQAdIdZ181637885 Are these any good?? Ps when is the search gonna work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomis17 Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I use a Shure PG14 wireless guitar system and it works great. You have the ability to sync to (I think) 5 different channels. This really helps avoid multiple wireless signal inference like the older Shure UHF's. For the money I it's a good deal.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 3, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ps when is the search gonna work? When V2 of the website goes live. When is that? Soon. (That's all we know at this point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Both of those are low end wireless, not something that I would willingly buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDoctorMo Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I am very pleased with my Line 6 XDR system. Since it's digital, it doesn't have the issues of companding the signal. My only gripe is that I can only get about 5-6 sets on one 9v battery. My bass player has a similar system in a floor-pedal version. He is also very happy with that unit. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I never would recommend either of those units for wireless mics, I think they sound awful, for guitar they do OK. I'd recommend the line6 digital wireless, esp for guitar since there is no companding that analog units need to maximize headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rezrover Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I got the Line6 X2 XDR95 for my bass rack and other than the fact that it eats 9 volt batteries, I like it. Glad I don't have to pay for batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trevcda Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 And the limited number of frequencies available per system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 The eating 9V thing bugs me too. But it is digital and it is transmitting a LOT of 0's. I had an Sennhieser digital unit and it did the same. 4 channels but it did drop out a little and did eat batteries. I chose the ATW2000 series since it matches all the wireless mics I own too. Any mic/transmitter any reciever. 10 channels and it will scan for less used channels. 10hr life on kirkland batteries (about 22cents ea x2). It's cost effective and works well. Only gripe is I have to buy a new 1/4 to TA4F cable ever 6 months because the 1/4" shorts out. And the insulation is not hobby friendly, it doesn't solder well at all. $20 a cable, screw you AT! take my money like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a well known fact that 1's use more battery power than 0's. Noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an HI-4 cable and the connector is a lot more expensive. If you need some of these cables, I have the real commercial duty HI-4 guitar cables in stock for less than $20.
