This does add compression. In a room full of stage lights, guitar amps, cell phones, wifi tablets, ceiling fan, and high output pick ups, the extra noise was minimal and inaudible when playing with a band. It’s no more noise than you’d expect from just a distortion pedal or drive channel engaged. It does add compression to your signal, so keep this in mind. The “cable” mode does little to nothing. I can’t hear any difference between them it’s too subtle.In spite of the compression added, I don’t think it’s a bad sound, and found myself more present in the mix, so maybe adds more presence and top end to your signal. Not a bad thing for lead players. I found I didn’t need to boost near as much at rehearsal to feel confident and heard. If you want completely transparent, I don’t think you should buy any brand of wireless, and just stick to a good quality cable. If you don’t mind the mentioned side affects, give it a shot. The charging case is brilliant.I have not tried it live yet, but have played it through two different pedalboards. The one I tried without a noise gate pedal I did hear a high pitch frequency softly audible, but it went away as soon as I added a short jumper cable and moved the relay to my hip instead of so close to the pickups. So either way, there are options to make it work for you. Give it a shot.Amps used, Vintage Fender Bassman, and Orange Rocker 15 Terror.
High-performing wireless system for guitar and bass. I have tried several wireless guitar systems ranging from about $40 to $160. Some suffered from frequent drop outs or poor audio quality; however, most worked reasonably well for guitar, but not for bass. Bass is a different animal (much like bassists) and those low frequencies pose a challenge for the lower quality wireless systems. The Nux 5.8 and 2.4 wireless systems perform very well for bass and the audio quality is excellent for the price range. I appreciate the compact size of the transmitter and receiver, and having the storage case and battery is another tremendous plus.Is the Nux wireless systems perfect? The one thing I am going to ding Nux for is design, but specifically the rubber disk on the unit that is supposed to protect the finish of your instrument. I cannot figure out why Nux put the disk on the wrong side of the units. I cannot find a position where the rubber disk would come into contact with the instrument. The design flaw can be seen on the 2.4 version as well. Although this does not detract from the overall functionality and performance of the wireless system, but it does show a lack of quality control on the design. And this is my opinion, so feel free to take it for whatever it’s worth.
Works Great With Line 6 Products. I play on the music team at my church, and I’ve used this unit for both mid-week rehearsals and Sunday services for a year and I’ve not had a single problem. I’ve used it with multiple bass guitars, multiple electric guitars with different pick up types, and an acoustic guitar. I’ve used it in our building, outdoors and in other buildings with all sorts of different lighting and wireless situations and it has always performed perfectly. No latency, no loss of signal, no interference. Battery life on one charge of the dongles will allow me to easily do a Sunday morning rehearsal and 2 services. Then I plug them into the pack and charge them for the next week. The way I use it requires me to charge the unit, every 3-4 weeks. I’d like to see NUX change the USB port to type C, micro is annoying. At least they include a cable with the unit.
Set yourself free, even with that tiny bit of latency, just do it. Musicians apparent can’t let go of their wires. I bought an electric guitar and it still came with 10 feet of audio cable. But I grew up in the age where WiFi was taking off. We got small practice amps. We got wireless headphones (which you can’t really use with this because Bluetooth latency causes a siginficant delay), we got cellphones that replaced the cordless phones that replaced the landline in your house.Why shouldn’t my electric guitar be just as wireless?Enter the NUX C-5RC 5.8 GHz Wireless guitar system. Basically it has two purposes: to transmit your guitar signal with one device, and to recieve that signal with the other. Just be sure to remember which device goes where because it only works one way. My advice would be to add labels to it if the symbols on each device aren’t enough to remind you which is the transmitter and which is the receiver.Because this is a 5.8 GHz device, it might interfere with WiFi, but only really up close.Honestly, I haven’t tried out what happens when there are two sets of these things together, so I can’t really say what could happen in terms of interference. Hopefully, there aren’t any problems.Overall, I just wanted something that could physically separate me from whatever audio equipment was near by. Still, it’s a worthy gadget to have in your gig bag.
A Tip for Charging -. Avoid using the case to charge. Plug cord right into transmitter and receiver and charge that way. I found that they don’t always seem to charge the same when using the case. Ran out of juice on my transmitter and had to use my back up.This wireless system works very well. No problems with sound or delay. Had no problem with range – from about 20′ with an obstacle, not a problem. The case is great for storage.
