Frequently Asked Questions

The digital transmission is exceptionally clean; most players won't notice a significant difference, especially with the included CI1 cable.
While possible, the CI1 is specifically designed for guitar/bass; using it with other instruments might require careful frequency coordination and potentially compromise performance.
The Smart Assist App helps scan for available frequencies and avoid conflicts, but in dense RF environments, manual frequency selection might be necessary.
