Members Thunderbroom Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 and so is my wireless unit: My guitarist and I found out that the X2 unit (his) starts having delay issues before mine (Senn EW172). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L. Ron Hoover Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 Delay issues? That should be purely a function of how far you are away from the PA speakers. The inherent delays in the wireless units are small enough to be imperceptible. The signal travels at nearly the speed of light from your transmitter to the receiver.

Maybe its a function of the frequency response of the respective instruments; that the delay is more noticeable with the higher frequencies from the guitar.

That was my guess. Either way, you're a good distance from the stage before the speed of sound starts messing with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rippin' Robin Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'd love to believe you L. Ron, because I know you kick ass in physics and anything electronic, but my Samson UHF receiver also had delay issues when I was about 20-30 metres away from the receiver. They were pretty noticeable, my signal just seemed to be lagging behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L. Ron Hoover Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 That was my guess. Either way, you're a good distance from the stage before the speed of sound starts messing with you. I think that the typical threshold is about 30ms for a delayed signal to actually sound delayed. That's about 33 feet, assuming 340M/s for the speed of sound. You'd probably need to be 50 or more feet back for it to start screwing with you in any meaningful way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inherent delays in the wireless units are small enough to be imperceptible. The signal travels at nearly the speed of light from your transmitter to the receiver. The delay was certainly a function of how far we were out. We started noticing the timing/delay on his before mine. No big deal. The gig before the one pictured (which was this past Saturday), he and I went out as well. We went out too far and we were both noticing the delay so we changed our playing to match up to what we were hearing out of the mains and it totally messed with the band on stage. Needless to say we don't stray too far now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted August 4, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2008 I did this exact same thing at a festival gig Friday evening. Wireless is fun. And there was no delay and I have X2. As you noted, there's only so far to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet that it is because the shorter wavelengths of the guitar signal make the same amount of actual delay more audible. This thread hijack in no way detracts from your awesomeness.
