I got the two [COLOR=#333333] Line 6 XD-V75TR wireless systems and have ran them almost a month now.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]The system on my vocal, via a Crown 311 works great except for the rare drop out. When I get a drop out it's a line of sight issue, every time I'm a good 50 feet away from receiver, there is something between me and receiver plus I have my body turned so that transmitter is on the far side of my body.

[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]I learned that the Line 6 transmitters are not shock proof :) I experienced the battery problem when I have the pack mounted directly to outside of my bass drum. Once I placed the pack on my shoulder strap, it worked fine. The bass drum hits and maybe even snare hits through the Line 6 transmitter battery meter into a crazy state. Eventually I plan to try and build a shock proof mount or pocket for the transmitter but that's gonna wait a while as I work through other projects. Other than these two issues I am thrilled with the Line 6 unit's. Set up is easy. Scanning free channels is easy. I noticed the 4ms delay on my vocal, but I hear and have settled with "distance from speaker delay" on my vocal and guitar for years. OMG the full frequency range I noticed straight away.
