NUX C-5RC 5.8GHz Wireless Guitar System for Active or Passive Pickup Guitar, Charging Case included, UHF Guitar Wireless Transmitter Receiver Low Interference, Auto Match

I was a bit skeptical at first, but these are really a great product! At first, I tried them in my home studio and got a little interference. Probably due to my WiFi router being too close. I really purchased them to use at gigs because I use 3 different guitars and I hated the cables and having to purchase abc switch pedals. These solved the problem. The battery stays strong during a 3 hour gig and I have yet to encounter any interference. Easy to set up and switching guitars is a breeze. I just hit the button and pause the connection when switching out. Other guitarists have inquired and purchased a set on my recommendation. The charging storage case is genius. I highly recommend these. Great build quality and great design.

I’ve been using the Nux 5.8GHz wireless guitar system for almost a year now with my Taylor acoustic 214CE (uses an active pickup) and it has worked flawlessly. For my Stratocaster I use an Xvive system and both guitars are played at rehearsals and live gigs. As far as going wireless, I’ll never go back to cables again. I’d originally purchased two Xviv units - one for each guitar, but the Xvive sounded awful on the Taylor - all top end, shrill and tinny, without any low end. I immediately returned it and kept the other Xvive for the Strat which seemed to sound OK, although I need to adjust the Strat’s neck or middle pickup tone knobs to compensate. After doing a ton of research on various mid-priced wireless units I discovered Nux. What a difference in sound quality - my Taylor acoustic sounded identical to a cable! Because Taylor guitars can be a bit top-end and trebley, the cable emulation switch on the Nux helps tame excessive thin-sounding notes by rolling off a bit of top end. It’s a subtle difference - simple adjustments to my guitar’s equalizer or the amp will produce similar results. A plus for Nux vs. Xvive - when I walk near a particular light switch in our rehearsal room while playing guitar, the Xvive makes a loud squeal while the Nux unit remains quiet. This might be due to the Xvive using 2.4GHz, but there’s no 2.4GHz devices in the room; the light switch is just a regular 110-120 AC switch so go figure. Maybe the Xvive circuitry is less shielded from electrical interference. Another plus for the Nux is the charging case; after a gig or rehearsal is over and the band is packed up, I simply press a button on the Nux case to start charging the transmitter/receiver inside the case and then dump the zipped up case into my carry bag; I don’t need to remember to charge it later. By the time I get home, the Nux is fully charged and ready to go, but not the Xvive. Gotta remember to charge it, sigh. The most important difference between the two units is tone quality; the Nux sounds the same as a cable but not the Xvive. In retrospect, I should have bought two Nux units and avoided Xvive altogether. When the Xvive eventually dies, I’ll replace it with a Nux.

There's a lot to like about this wireless unit. But I am disappointed that the batteries in mine started to fade after about 3 years. They no longer would get me through a full 3-hour show without charging on set breaks. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can pop them open and replace the batteries (which I did). But I feel like these should have lasted a bit longer before having to resort to that. Otherwise, these are great wireless units. They handle my active and passive basses well. Range is good. The built in charging in the case is super handy. I never had problems with interference or drop out.

These are awesome. Works like a charm, had them for a few weeks and no transmitting problems. Never cuts out or loses signal. The case is genius, when you put the transmitters back in the case the case charges them so they are ready next time. If your running late to rehearsal or gig and you forgot to charge them, put them in the case and charge them while your driving over. So smart! It's so easy and convenient, but you should definitely spend a little more and get the 5.8ghz. I was looking at some at 90 dollars but only 2.4 ghz. I'm glad I got the 5.8 the sound is clearer than cables and no loss of signal. It's worth it.

Bought the NUX C-5RC system in Dec 2022. It had worked well but started having momentary glitches in March 2024. Then in May 2024 the system would stop working suddenly at about 2 hours. This quit at 2 consecutive gigs mid song during a performance. I always have a cable at the ready so I was able to quickly cable up. However, at $150 I expected more than about 60 gigs (charge/discharge cycles) over 1.5 years of service. I contacted Cherub, who I believe is the USA distributor. They did quickly respond and told me via email that the battery is probably aging, that the warranty is 12 months, and I may have to pay to have the unit repaired. They also stated that maybe I wasn't understanding how to recharge the system. I've done it with this system for 1.5 years, I understand how to plug in a USB cable and wait for the system to fully charge like any other does. That said, I did really like the system. I never had WiFi issues like my 2.4GHz band mates do who BTW are on their 4th year with their XVive ones. However, I'll be replacing it with another brand. In my opinion NUX is not satisfactorily standing behind their product. I'm done with NUX now as a brand. Maybe your C-5RC system will last longer. I hope it does. Just always have a cable at the ready....

I've used quite a few of this type of guitar wireless systems in the past. My previous setup was the Xvive U2. When the batteries started to fade on that product I decided to look around for a more modern replacement. First I tried the Swift 5.8GHz units...don't buy them, they are appalling. Then I stumbled on a YouTube clip where the N-UX units were briefly mentioned in a passing comment. They looked interesting so I thought I'd give them a go. They looked really good, particularly the included charging case, what a good idea. As the 2.4GHz band is quite crowded now I decided to go for the 5.8GHz units. I've been using them daily for the last six weeks and I have to say I love them. The mute feature is super handy when swapping guitars. The auto power off helps extend the battery life so even the longest gig are no worries - I've gone 6 hours without issue. Of course if it looks a bit dicey you can always just pop them back in the case for 15minutes during a break and they will charge up significantly in that time. They have a guitar lead simulator that rolls off the top end a bit - full confession, I can't hear any difference which probably means my hearing is shot LOL, but it there, which is nice. Sound quality is impeccable, you can't tell the difference between these units and a guitar lead. You can't hear any latency, they claim less than 5ms and I believe that. The range is fine for 100% of what I do, I'm never more than 10m from my rig so I can't really comment on the maximum range, but come on, unless you are doing stadiums, these will be fine. The construction is about what I'd expect of this type of equipment, it feels light and possibly a bit fragile, but that is how the Xvives originally felt to me and they lasted 4 and half years without issue. I assume the N-UX's will too. I recommend this product, I love just about everything about it. The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to wake up both the receiver and transmitter, from the transmitter (From your guitar) - once they go to sleep you have to wake them up individually, which has caught me out a couple of times :-). But really, that's a first world problem, right :-) Bottom line, if I lost them I'd buy another set immediately. Enough said.

So far, so great. This wireless unit worked superbly last weekend when I played at my church. Strong signal, no clicks or popping when I used the mute feature (which is essential between hymns and liturgy music)—flawless performance overall. No one realized that I wasn't using my previous setup at all. I didn't hear any loss in signal between my acoustic guitar and the amp. In fact, my wife thought the sound quality was better than playing through my normal D'Addario cable with mute switch (and that is a great, heavy-duty reliable cable with good signal and pure tone). I'm quite impressed. I have purchased other NUX products, and all of them have been reliable and high quality, so I am not surprised that this wireless system is working well. The battery life is long, and the storage container/charger are also well-designed. I highly recommend this unit.

Bought about 18 months ago and the unit cannot get through a 3 hour gig before the battery dies. Specifically, the transmitter. At one point the transmitter was taking way too long to charge, and now I know why. It lost its capacity. The product can be viewed as a not-so-cheap throw away. Otherwise, it has performed well from an RF perspective, no drop-outs or interference. It's just an expensive door stop at this point.

Great connection. Liked the mode where it will go to sleep when not in use for a while. Charges well. Great for acoustic or electric. Price was good and the frequency is well set to avoid interference with other devices.

No latency and not tone loss. Quite good and long lasting

Muy buena calidad de sonido. El inalambrico es excelente. Lo pude usar para una guitarra acustica, y para un bajo, no pierde nada de calidad.

Davvero un ottimo prodotto, nessuna perdita di segnale, nessun problema di rumore, consiglio assolutamente l'acquisto

Sehr schnelle Lieferung und ein wirklich tolles Produkt einfach zu bedienen.
