[QUOTE="Marc Dobson, post: 65083, member: 2352"] Re: Upgrading Wireless System, choices... Thanks for additional comment TJ and Brian. Goes to show you... never trust the opinion of one person. There is always a little more weight to an opinion when you here it 1st hand, plus who knows if my local sales guy was trying to swing me to the more expensive purchase of Shure ULX or less expensive PGXD. Speaking of Shure again, PGX Digital system is limited to 5 systems, looks to be a cheap build and I've not looked at it. Any body have any opinion on those? BTW current eBay pricing on Line6 XD-V70 and XD-V75 systems is only a small spread of wild guess average $50. Also there are very few used XD-70 systems and even less used XD-75 systems for sale on eBay, which is either a good sign that most buyers are keeping them OR eBay's policy changes and craigslist are keeping sellers off eBay. One more question for you all. It would seem like a bad idea BUT worth a try to see how a lavalier mic would do micing up my cymbals. Considering the cost some wireless systems with a lav mic are priced about same as systems without lav mic. I could kind of "try for free" and worst case sell off the lav if not needed like I've done previously with Sennhieser lav mics. A lav will miss the highs above 17,000 Hz (depending on the mic). Omni directional, sound pressure and other factors could be issues. The placement of the mic on my cymbals though is not normal. See picture below, mic will go where the handheld is. My "overhead cymbal mic" will not be going overhead. It'll be going under the cymbals, which I've turned upside down and hit from the bottom. There is only a 16" or so spread between cymbal centers. Micing from the top is not really an option and I will want to keep the snare as much out of the cymbal mic as possible.
