Published on 08/13/11 at 06:44How long have you use it?
For a little less than a month, but enough to get an idea of what kind of product. I have used on several concerts.
What are the features you like best and least?
(+)
I like its simplicity and especially the fact that the transmitter is very discreet.
This is a "dongle", ie it is not much bigger than a USB jack equipped with a nozzle.
There are no buttons to set 2000 as on other models. No brainer, it's true "plug and play"!
Another advantage is the on / off button on the transmitter to disable the system quickly and quietly (although some systems emit a sizzling sound terrible). This mode allows a "mute" on hand and easy to find, even in the dark on stage, since it has a small LED.
(-)
The transmitter contains a battery that recharges when connected to the input on the receiver. This is a very good idea in terms of miniaturization of the product, but it can be a problem if you forget to charge before going live! No way, in this case, to stop at the corner store to buy a battery ...
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not personally. A friend guitarist uses a Sennheiser.
It works well but is more cumbersome to use (the eternal transmitter that balance on the strap of the guitar).
On the other hand, the Stageclix Jack is the only completely digital system (to my knowledge).
This means that, unlike other systems, it does not have a "compander" (compressor / expander). To explain more clearly, the classical transmitters (analog) compress the signal received from the guitar to pass the receiver decompresses to return it. This is a process similar to the encoding of a CD quality file (. Wav) to mp3 ... inevitably you lose data. If you wish to board the original mp3 format, you can "recreate" the lost data and the result is less good.
Here, everything is in digital encoding. The transmission does not cause so no loss.
And the sound?
With this, the sound is very pure, some would say too often. You lose a little warm side of the analogue, it snaps a little, but this can be corrected by an equalizer.
Personally, I use it on a low side and I appreciate just what good slamming.
How would you rate the quality / price?
This is not the cheapest of HF systems, but this is not the most expensive either.
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation!
It remains to add that the construction of the product is impeccable.
The receiver is small compared to other systems (barely bigger than a Boss pedal) and all metal. The antenna is similar to a satellite modem and wi-fi can be replaced easily if broken.
Everything is delivered in a suitcase, a little big, but very well designed to protect everyone.
If the issuer was not fit properly in the output of your instrument, there are ways to put more traditional in a pouch (available as an option, and a bit expensive for my taste) on the strap and connect it via a small extension jack (male / female).
Unfortunately, it seems that this system is not the easiest to acquire. Large suppliers are often out of stock. The company that produces it is a small structure??
