- Product Documents
Now, I don't know about you but, even though I feel I'm fairly well educated, I understood very little about what I just read. That's why it's always important to read reviews from people that actually use the product, and believe only a few from there too because some reviewers are actually false statements sometimes written by someone from the company or someone running the website. Also, sometimes even a negative review could be false as well. Maybe the negative reviewer was just a bonehead that couldn't get a good product to run for them. Who knows? Just take everything you read with an open mind. At any rate here's a review:
"The best all-round wireless unit I've used."
Feature: Autoscan frequencies, or manual select. AA Batteries last a long time, and rechargeables last quite long, too.
Quality: Robust. Metal. Short, though antenna. Metal 1/8" plug with retaining screw ring to set guitar cord to transmitter pack (solid). Perfect record in live use from our last tour. Clear. Range. Long battery life. Kiss your 9 volt pile goodbye.
Value: You get what you pay for. Not the least expensive, but (nearly) flawless in on stage use. See "pilot freq." notes below. My next wireless will be other units like this.
Desirability: Very good ergonomics / use / size. The best wireless unit I've used.
Sound: Clear, no drop outs. Good range.
Support: On this unit, support not used, but on previous Senn unit the support was iffy on a tough technical issue - no one had an answer, no further help was offered. No complaints on the use of the unit - this is the third Senn unit used, all have been as advertised.
Overall: ONE issue - the "pilot" frequency can fool itself and cancel if the reciever antennas are too close together in a rack. This pilot freq is the "auto hush" circuit that keeps an unused transmitter church quiet when the guitar is not transmitting. Watch your antenna placement (relative to each other), and all is well. Senn gents - please update your manual - this is important for frustrated non-techies.
