[QUOTE="Peter Etheredge, post: 89508, member: 58"] Re: An Argument I've Been Having - ATW 3000 Systems Well, don't get me wrong, I would NEVER EVER EVER recommend PGX, but yes indeed my experience with the ATW units has been THAT bad. To go into more detail - at one point in time I worked for a church that had a pair of the ATW units and a couple of PGX's and a couple of SLX's, then at another point in time I worked at a theater that had 10 of the ATWs and a bunch of ULX's along with a couple of Sennys thrown in from time to time. In both settings I had the same problems with the ATW's - brand new Procell couldn't make it through a whole worship service or had to be changed at intermission at the theater (in both HI and LOW RF modes). Random drop outs where they would think they were in mute mode when in fact they weren't. Run through a proper distro and frequency coordinated or sitting under the pulpit right next to the guy wearing the bodypack and frequency coordinated it never mattered. Oh and one time one of the receivers decided that, although it had the circuitry to operated in the 500mhz range it was going to start showing frequencies in the 600mhz range on the display and not receive any audio. So, as far as PGX actually sounding better maybe it doesn't, but the ATW's never seemed to work long enough to get a good comparison. FWIW I think that ULX is the lowest usable Shure wireless. Again my preference is the Senny systems starting at ew100 and on up from there. [/QUOTE]
