SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The quality of the buds is good enough to get you started until you buy better ones. But, they are not the worst either. Once I changed out to my M-Audio's the system is very awesome. Don't let the silence fool you between powering up the unit and sending a signal to it. They are dead silent until you feed a signal. So, start low and work your way up. No hums, No hisses, No squeals. Just great sound at a usable volume with plenty of headroom. Feature: It's a basic system that does exactly what it should do. Single frequency, so, no need to scan and sync anything. Only down is that it doesn't have a power led. So, once you turn it on and the AF leds light, everything looks the same as if it were off until you send a signal to it and see the AF led's dance. I am rating this as a 7 because in Stereo mode, it's not very good. But, in mono, you can use both inputs and adjust their volumes individually. When you get your system, unpack the transmitter base unit and set it to mono and just let it be. In stereo, the signal fades. Mono, nothing but strong signal and clean sound. But, it comes with the rack mounts and extension hardware to mount the antenna around front. I don't do it that way, but the option is nice. Ease of Use: Turn it on and adjust the volume on your pack. Doesn't get any easier than that. Quality: All metal Transmitter unit. Very hard plastic body pack. I am NOT afraid that any part of this system would break or break down. This is my first Galaxy Audio system and waited for this generation of systems before checking them out. I am very impressed and will probably stick with their brand in the future. I have 2 of these systems. 1 of each frequency available with multiple body packs. They replaced 1 Nady PEM 500 (uhf 16 channel)system with 2 packs. This system dogs the Nady in every way and is a single channel UHF system. The Nady had bad hum and hiss as well as easy interference. Not these units. Value: This system is worth more than the asking price. Do NOT think twice about buying it. You will not regret it. Manufacturer Support: I am not grading Galaxy Audio customer service, because, i have not had to use them. But, when receiving my 2 systems, 1 of them was missing some pieces. This 10 is for zZounds. As soon as i opened the unit and noticed missing parts, I called them. The gave me a RMA number, a UPS shipping label and instructions to send it out at no cost to me. As soon as I wrapped and shipped it and the tracking number was trackable, they Overnighted me a new system. I reported it on Wed.and had an upcoming show on Sat. I had my replacement on Fri. Kudos zZounds. You have solidified a future customer. This was my first purchase with them. Overall: I am grading this system on value and performance in it's class. I am a studio and a live sound engineer. I took a chance and replaced several wedge monitors with 2 complete systems and extra packs. My first show was 2 days after i go them and the band was very pleased with the change. As a sound man, I have no problem owning them and supplying them for bands that hire me. I honestly think they will last a very long time even in my business to where they get used a lot. They work with very little fuss. Turn them on and turn them up. That's all. No channel surfing and syncing. No worry about not being on the right channel. It just is. I have the 630 and the 659 mhz systems racked with a high end single channel 900mhz wireless mic system. No issues whatsoever. If you are pricing and are torn, do yourself a favor and pass up the Nady systems and just go with this one. Nady, you'll put up with. Galaxy Audio AS 900, you will LOVE.

Sound: My name is May Palmer-The Queen of Ivory Soul (www.maypalmer.com) As a professional singer, with a big voice and talent, The Galaxy Audio AS900K1 definitely "lives up to the hype!!" I purchased this unit recently after years of using a floor (wedge) monitor which was very loud and assaulting on others, if they were close to the stage in a smaller venue. I simply could not believe the affordabilty, ease of use and clarity the Galaxy Audio 900 AS900K1 gives!! I absolutely LOVE it! I just purchased an upgrade on the ear buds (the EB6 Singer Driver Earphone with case)although the original ones that came with the transmitter are good. Why didn't I do this sooner?? This system 'RAWKS!!!" Feature: I am happy with the system all around, including the ear buds. This is waaaaay better than the Galaxy 'Hot Spots' which I also had. Again, as a singer-this system keeps my voice 'in check' and never lets me get too loud. What a voice saver and a CROWD PLEASER at the same time! Ease of Use: Very east to modify sound to my personal specs. Quality: Very good. Value: YES!!! Manufacturer Support: Excellent

Sound: Sound quality is very good, but as with any system, included buds suck! Get a decent set of dual drivers, run through an EQ and they sound as nice as any you will use. It does work well with any stylistic musical ques, and has plenty of useable headroom. Can be used in a MONO, or Stereo application. Feature: The simplicity is very useful in itself. The only problem one may encounter would be interference if there are more than one system running on close freqs, but that is with any system unless it has switchable freqs. Ease of Use: With my own Buds it is no problem. EQ is flat, but has no adjustment on the body pak for EQ, compression/hearing protection. But for this price what would you expect? I do recommend running through an EQ to dial in your desired sound. Quality: Galaxy products are getting better, and this item is made well. I have owned Shure systems, AT systems, AKG, and Sennheiser, but overall, this is a great buy for the money. No issues on reliablitiy yet. Looks good, and performs well. Value: Actually, overall is as good as many higher priced systems. What you lose in options, is not lost in sound quality, or performace. Manufacturer Support: no need yet. The Wow Factor: It has not "wowed" me per say, but I am very happy with the purchase, considering the price to performance evaluation, you can't beat it for functionality! Overall: Though this unit is a stripped down "plain jane" model, it works very well for it's designed use. Don't let the low price "sway" you to spend more for options you may not need!

Sound: I think the sound quality from this product is awesome. I have no complains. Feature: I give the earphones a 7. Could have been a bit better but then again for standard earbuds they are great!

I have to send it in to get fixed.. remember! you get what you pay for.. haha .. but besides that overall its a good lil starter! dont regret it.
