[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 7049, member: 430"] I dont normally complain about gear, but here at 11:00am in the midst of Easter service, I am extremely perturbed. I have one channel of line6 wireless for our pastor. I like the sound well enough, it's built well, the headset is decent. There's just one overarching problem: THE WIRELESS DROPS CONSTANTLY despite brand new batteries tested this am, and 20ft. Direct line of site to the pastor. Our pastor is shouting unamplified currently. This dropping is not a new thing, but its especially galling on Easter, and I am done giving this product a chance after months of trying to get it to work. I'm not a wireless neophyte, I deal with fcc part 18 in my day job and have coordinated large uhf rigs. Terms like antenna factor, vswr, erp, reflected power, etc. are squarely in my daily vocab. I answered Bennett's question here on antenna polarity, as an example. Don Boomer is a nice and knowledge able guy, and the line6 instrument products continue to get better and serve us well. I'll continue to buy those products. The new line6 mixer product looks really innovative for inexperienced users, a cool presage of the future of audio. This XD V55 wireless product, however, is a totally different story. If you buy it, test it extensively for reliability in your use environment while you can still return it. I'm buying a shure digital wireless (in a different band) this week. [/QUOTE]
