Use of a wireless guitar system will help prevent such dangers and allow you the freedom of movement to perform where you want and how you want.Īs a high-tech replacement for the guitar cable, the wireless guitar system is an electronic device that transmits an audio signal from a musical instrument directly to an amp and/or speaker without the need for a physical connection. Musicians with a lot of energy shouldn't have to worry about the potential hazards of tripping over bulky cords as they move around a stage with a lot equipment. The second consideration involves what you and your band plan to be doing while you're on that stage. First is the assurance that your performances are loud enough to reach everyone in the audience, thanks to the use of powerful amps. If you're planning to perform on stage with your fellow musicians in front of a large group of people, there are two things to keep in mind. Boss, however, is a trusted name here, as is Xvive with their U2 model, as they were among the first to create a system so streamlined. You'll see a lot of these made by companies out of China that are all but guaranteed to suffer weaknesses in tonal quality, interference reduction, and durability. By this I'm referring to systems with two simplified pieces, which are both battery powered and plug directly into your guitar and your amp with no bulky transmitters or receiver units. At number two, you'll find the Boss WL-20, and this entry warrants some discussion as it falls into a subcategory of systems that are currently among the most popular on the market. The Nady U-1100 was another victim here, as durability issues kept it from sustaining a place in the top ten.Īmong new additions, you'll find the Shure QLXD14 at number one, which takes the previous number one entry from Shure and adds an LCD readout on the transmitter, as well as a negative display on the receiver that should be easier to read on stage. We also got rid of the AKG model for what many gigging musicians would consider an unacceptable signal to noise ratio, and the company has yet to come out with a viable alternative.
We sent a pair of Line 6 models packing as they'd gotten too old to warrant serious consideration, and we replaced them with a newer Line 6 offering that's much more advanced, the G55, which slots in nicely at number five on our list. Quite a bit of action on the latest iteration of this ranking. From a practical standpoint alone, we felt this unit was worthy of a place in our top ten. Its stompbox-style design means it can sit on a guitarist's pedalboard right in front of them, where the signal is at its strongest, and its transmitter can be inserted into the integral charging dock when not in use. While you do see music tech icons that never change (like Shure's SM57/SM58 microphones, which have been in production for decades), wireless technology is constantly being refined, and we included the Line 6 Relay G10S as an example of advanced thinking from this progressive manufacturer. In fact, as time moves on, we are seeing more of these dongle-style wireless systems entering the market, and this is reflected in this new addition to our ranking. In its place, we added the Sennheiser XSW-D, which, while also being a product of the celebrated German pro-audio experts, provides newer technology in a stripped-down package. For this latest update, we decided to say goodbye to the Sennheiser EW 572 G3, as it was starting to show its age from both a technological and aesthetic perspective.
