al is right, get them replaced.

I found a new gear combination for practicing. It’s so much fun. I just wanted to try if i can get the bass signal and the drums through my Neo and I forgot the time and practiced for over an hour. Now I have to look for a wireless bass system to make it perfect.

What do you mean by that?

Something like the boss wl 20

Positive Grid has something, but that’s only 2.4GHz. You want 5.8Ghz, like the one from Harley Benton…
I have that too and it’s great!

I thought also about the lekato. The Harley Benton looks big. Are you happy with them?

The Lekato is for headphones or line. I have that too. It’s cool, but has a little hiss and maybe less bass. You might not hear it cause of bad head phones :slight_smile:

It’s still ok, especially for the price.

The combination of Lekato and HB is perfect, in my opinion. It’s also very flexible for various use cases…

You don’t need 5 ghz lots of systems use 2.4 ie Boss and it’s fine.

That’s exactly the issue. Many systems use 2.4 Ghz, also (and especially) non audio devices. The frequency band is quite full with all kinds of sh#t. Maybe not in Canada though, and very likely your power tools will operate on 2.4Ghz :slight_smile:

On 5.8Ghz there is less chance of interference and bandwidth is much higher. Also latency can be much lower.
Technically, 5.8Ghz is much better and more stable - go for that, @BozzerWolf!

Yeah but if @BozzerWolf can find an inexpensive 2.4 system then he’ll probably be ok.

Not everything needs to be an audio rabbit hole of over analyzing. My Boss WL50 is great.

Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8GHz Instrument: 49€
Harley Benton AirBorne 2.4 GHz Instrument: 69€

Hmmmmmm :slight_smile:

It’s a classic - you have convinced me. It’s better to spend 204€ on a piece of 2018 wireless technology. Hopefully it’s also analogue, for that warm retro sound :slight_smile:

I have both. At home, it wouldn’t matter much, except that my WiFi is 5,8 GHz only. If I were to ever play in public AND want to use a wireless instrument “cable” instead of a physical one, I’d take both to be on the safe side.

Always good to have a cable, fully agree.

Also: the actual choice of what product to get depends on the use case - are you doing gigs or just playing at home?
For gigs I would never get a device where I cannot replace the battery quickly, for example.
But I don’t do gigs … and I have the feeling that it will take some time until @BozzerWolf and his band “The Flying Moustaches” will gig, right?

But using 2.4Ghz nowadays is so 2010s, I still have to LOL about that :slight_smile:

Actually it’s not your run of the mill’s 2.4 Ghz. This is ultra low latency stuffs that Roland/ Boss are doing.

It makes no difference.

The 2.4 Ghz band is full with stuff: WIFI, Bluetooth, Zigbee, many metering and smart home / IoT devices with their own “not your run of the mill’s 2.4 Ghz” protocols, RF mouse & keyboards, microwave ovens, some analogue devices, even USB 3.0 interference.

If a well established standard like WIFI has challenges in that spectrum, do you really think that Boss/Roland have put their best engineers and scientist on that problem for years and came out with something to solve the issues (for a technology that is not their core business)? :slight_smile:
It’s very likely that they just took whatever everybody else is using. Are they even digital for the Boss WL50? I can’t remember 2018, it’s so long ago :slight_smile:

PS This is how imagine Boss/Roland scientist creating their first wireless device:

PPS Just found this:
