    I managed to pick out the differences between the wired and wireless clips. I could hear a little additional hiss and rolling off of some of the highs as well but the Lekato sounded much better than I was expecting. I was also listening to these examples in my studio on Neumann monitors. I can buy these in the UK for around £69!

      Yup, “does it sound good/useable” is the best way to do a tone analysis. Even if it DOES have a tiny bit of tone loss (I don’t think it does), will it matter in the grand scheme of things? No one is listening to a concert listening to A/B a cable to a wireless. As long as it’s useable... that’s my philosophy. And this wireless absolutely does pass the test and I’ve used it multiple times 👍

    For the money, pretty good investment. I had to turn up the gain on the mic when using these. I can hear the powered up hum from the monitors as opposed to when I have the mic cable in. That’s plugging these in directly to the monitors. Coming from a mixer I was able to adjust the gain so it didn’t sound like the monitors were about to explode when the vocals came in.

    I use these in conjunction with an ART HP-1 as my in ear system. The only problem with it is, the transmitter's sensitivity is for use with a microphone. The output of a mixer is much higher and will easily overdrive the transmitter's input. So I turn down the monitor channel output lower than if it was plugged into a floor monitor. Works just fine as an affordable IEM system.

    Just got this a couple of days ago as a fourth microphone for this lecture panel coming up with 10 inputs with 4 wireless and the rest wired. Been testing it at home to see set up and range, also charge life. So far it sounds and works really good. $102 is an amazing price vs $600 for a decent Shure or Sennheiser wireless. But the proof will be in the pudding coming up. Thanks for the reminder to have a cable and mic backup which I will hide upstage of the panel seating and covered.

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  11 місяців тому

      This thing has been rock solid. I would not recommend using 4 of these all at once since it only has 4 channels, so if one channel is taking that means you have no backups. But using 1-2 of these has been extremely solid over the years.

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  2 роки тому +4

      It was not apparent to me when I was doing this video. However, I would argue that when you use it live, no one listens to the live concert with headphones on listening for the exact tiny details. I’ve used this live and there is no noticeable hiss that makes it not unusable. I stand by my review and continue to use this device live quite a bit actually, but that’s why I made this review so you can make your own decision 👍

    Nice video. Just received mine. As I was watching the part with the ability to charge the receiver while plugged in, I was wondering why they didn't take advantage of the phantom power available on most mixers to keep it charged that way. A simple transformer to match voltage would be easy to incorporate into the circuitry.

    Actually I bought it, tried it and sent it back. It really worked pretty easy and had no dropouts. BUT I tried several microphones while several gigs and with every microphone I had clipping when singing a bit louder, not shouting or screaming, only singing a bit louder. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the sensitivity of the transmitter, which would be great in order to eliminate clipping.

      I wouldn’t do that many of these since these are cheaper and you only get 4 channels. That means all 4 channels need to be clear/available at every show. The RF environment is always different. You could do one or two of these, and then try one or two of these since they are on different frequencies; ua-cam.com/video/mGETbUMKzG4/v-deo.html
      But if you really want reliability for running to multiple speakers, this is the system I use: ua-cam.com/video/VlFGn6AxgqA/v-deo.html

    I have bought it recently. Still not sure if it is a toy or not. The latency is 7ms, not less than 5 as advertised. Not a big deal but it does not keep unity gain either. The level is 5.5dB lower comparing to a cable.
    Max level before AD/DA clipping is -8.5dBu
    The receiver XLR plug is short and keeps XLR socket lock button pressed (released) so it can't be used directly with eg. camera without a risk it would fall off.

      Thanks for the info. I’ve used this live at multiple gigs when I got it and had no problems with it. But I will say… No one can hear 7ms or 5ms of latency. If the volume is less, you can always just turn up. But you are correct with using with a camera. You can get an xlr little extender or tiny cable if you planned to use it that way.

      You can get more latency based on your setup. So it could be a problem on your end, or they could have gotten it slightly wrong. Online they say 6ms or latency. I think 1ms of latency difference is within a reasonable margin of error and does not count dishonesty.
      And where does it say there is no loss in signal volume? I looked and I didn’t see it. Again, a slightly lower volume is very easy to fix :)
      The Rode wireless are great for sure. But they are completely different setup and design. If you are using them with a camera, those seem great. If you want to add one to a handheld mic, these Lekato 5.8 ones are great for that. And I’ll take 5.8ghz is far less crowded than 2.4ghz. So I personally stand by my review and I still recommend this product 👍 Cheers.

      Up to 4, but only in perfect conditions. I strongly suggest watching this video: ua-cam.com/video/kUNBHi5F3aQ/v-deo.htmlsi=BGhqp3ro-cA_G4iq

    Hi Scott, Can I use 3 systems on same audio mixer without interference? Could you please let me know? Thank you

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  Рік тому +1

      You can. Just be careful because you only have 4 channels. If 2 of them are crowded/used you won’t be able to use 3. Also don’t use a bunch of cheap wireless all at once: ua-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/v-deo.html

    Are you not getting any interference since you're using another wireless transmitter on your guitar?

      Nope 👍

      Especially since my wireless guitar is in 500mhz frequency and this is 5.8ghz frequency

      I have a wireless uhf microphone. Will there be an interference if I'll be getting a uhf wireless guitar system? Unfortunately, most of products here in my country are uhf products.

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  2 роки тому

      No, uhf can still be set to different frequencies. So one can be 500mhz, another at 520mhz, and so on. If just depends on the system on how many wireless can be used at once. But with most systems you can use at least 4 at once without dropouts 👍
