NUX B-5RC Wireless Guitar System with Charging Case - Auto Match, Mute Function, 2.4GHz Transmitter and Receiver for Guitars with Active/Passive Pickups (Black)

After a few tries with different brands, this one is the one. As described, this works with active pickups (it may require that you use a 1/4” TS extender to move the transmitter away from the internal electronics)Purchased on 8/7 and used the same day at a gig, (Thanks Amazon Overnight!) and it worked flawlessly with no noise and strong signal. Very easy to setup, as it hunts for a clean channel on its own, and pairs itself.I currently use with two Ibanez basses (4 and 5 string) as well as a Sire Marcus Miller 5 string. All have active pickups. The Marcus Miller has humbuckers with a toggle switch. All were completely noise free.The charging case is awesome, as I can just put the tx and rx units in the case during the band break, and never have to worry about not having enough juice to last the night. This alone justifies the additional cost.I use a 1 foot male to male 1/4” patch cable along with a 1/4” female to female “gender changer” to move the transmitter off the body (see picture). I used a little gaff tape to secure the transmitter to my guitar strap.This is definitely the more expensive option of the inexpensive wireless systems, but this seems to be the best performer in my opinion.

Stop scrolling thru all of the different wireless options because this is the one you're looking for. No latency, no channels to mess with, no sound loss on clean tones, battery lasts 6 hours straight, the case recharges them at the push of a button, the jack angle is flexible but still strong enough to stay in whatever position you put it in, all of it is made out of great material (no cheap plastic), the transmitter mutes at the touch of a button so you can switch guitars or pedals etc, the light color indicates battery life left, and the receiver has a vintage cable tone at the push of a button if that's your thing.There is no better option out there for the money. Ditch the cables and grab one of these, I'm telling you that you'll be recommending them to everyone.

Works.

I bought these 2yrs ago and probably performed over 400 shows with them. Here’s the break down.1. Charging case (still in great shape, was transported in pedal board). Very convenient. Small profile.2. Range: recently range is much less (like 5-10ft) but initially it was good for about 15-30 ft out of the box. Good for sound checking when you’re the sound guy too.3. Interference: This wireless system won’t work with certain guitars. I had an infinity matrix system it didn’t work with. Not necessarily interference but certainly undesired signal dependability.5. Battery: initially solid for a 4hr show. Recently good for 1 hr set.4. Overall-I’ve had a gang of wireless guitar systems. I gig 4-5 times a week and as far as bang for buck /reliability goes , this is a great product. Big bang for your buck. I wish the range was better/and I wish it wasn’t starting to tap out now, but after that many gigs it’s safe to say this thing has paid itself off. Recommended

I bought this system to use as an alternative to my Line 6 relay. This system is more compact and just as functional and doesn't require a wired and powered receiver... It's cheaper too.

This is exactly what I needed, but there are a few issues. First lets go over the Pros. They are easy to use strait out of the box. The case is durable and great looking and I didnt have any problems getting started. As stated the case can charge these about 3 times and they should last for 4hrs before needing charged again. I have had these for less than a month at this point and have used them from full charge to depletion only about less than 10 times. The sound quality is great and I have only tested out the pairing distance up to about 25ft. No degradation of signal, although my active pickups had a bit of a noise issue. Now the Cons. The case itself needs charged and can take up to 2hrs to charge. My real issue began to surface almost immediately. I noticed the transmitter side used up battery alot faster than the reciever. At first I was getting about the 4hrs out of them, but now after only 10 or so charges the battery life has degraded down to around 20 MINUTES! I found myself going back to my cables way to often to account for the price I paid to be wireless. I bought these expecting a great solution as per other reviews that I read, but I am a bit dissapointed with the longevity of the product and will probably be trying a different system that can last longer. In short save your money and go for something that can last alot longer if you demand more play time.
