"Synth 32- great gear for the professional musician"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I love it. If it came with a plastic case I would have given it a 10.
Sound
the only problem that I've had with this (And I've used it on the road for over a year now) is that it pops when you shut off the transmitter.
Features
Couldn't ask for more versitility. If your normal channel has some noise, there's 32 more to choose from.
Quality
The body pack has a hard antennae- could snap it off. Also the belt clip is a fixed size, so it has fallen off my belt douring performance. Otherwise, everthing is typical construction for wireless gear.
Value
It's worth the price if your a professional. If your not using it often with a lot of other wireless gear, go with something less complicated- like the stage 55.
The Wow Factor
Everyone wants the best gear and the most gadgets. Wireless transmitters don't get much more gadgety than this one.
