Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If you are on a very limited budget, plan on using less then 3 units or if you aren't moving around much, it's a decent unit. I would perfer to spend a little more and get more of a wireless system.
Sound
The unit has a good sound but did have some weak low frequecy response
Features
Only 3 frequencies available. Basic system, only has high and low power usage and volume controls.
Quality
The casing makes it not easy to set in a rack and the antennas are fixed to the case. I wish there was a XLR output jack. I did have some minor problems with dropouts and interference but did work overall OK.
Value
I did get good performance for the price of the unit. Many other companies wireless' at this price have given me more trouble.
Manufacturer Support
Tried to set unit in a rack, but wasn't able to. The unit is a basic beginner model so, there isn't much available to enhance the performance.
The Wow Factor
If you are on a very limited budget, plan on using less then 3 units or if you aren't moving around much, it's a decent unit. I would perfer to spend a little more and get more of a wireless system.
