Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll experience a slight signal degradation, but for most performance situations, it's negligible – more than adequate for sax. It's not going to replace a top-tier wired setup, but it's surprisingly good for the price.
While marketed for guitar/bass, it works well for any dynamic instrument. Just ensure the output level is appropriate for your mixer or amp to avoid distortion.
The receiver’s frequency scan will help find a clear channel, but in densely populated RF areas, you may need to experiment with different frequency groups.
