I have been doing Pro Audio for 45 years, yeah I'm old. I have a low buck system to put together and this video made my selection for me. When I buy I'll try to do it through your link. I am so sick of other peoples lame CZcams videos. You have it down. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I appreciate that 😊
We've purchased two of these units (the Lekato & Kimafun) based on your thoughtful and comprehensive reviews. Don't want to sound like a broken record, but you do an *excellent* job of reviewing equipment. You acquire hands-on experience with the items you review. Then you thoroughly explain a device's operations, applications, strengths and weaknesses.
Your time and talent is truly appreciated, Scott. Thank you.
Thank you! I really appreciate that :) glad you’ve enjoyed the videos and the wireless 🤘🤘
I'm not a musician, I'm a videographer who runs his own audio and holy crap was this video useful. Your explanations were crystal clear and very helpful. Thanks bud!
Nice! Glad you found it helpful 🤘
I'm also a videographer, which one worked best for you and got good quality audio to your camera?
Excellent video! I wasn't looking for a video on wireless but after I started listening I stayed for the entire presentation and subscribing!
Thank you for the sub 🤘 Glad you found it helpful
Thank you very much for the video! You deserve more appreciation, you're making high quality clean videos wich are extremely enjoyable 👏
Thank you 😊
Your channel is like EVERYTHING I've been looking for. Literally. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you 🙏
💯Scotts channel is super baller!
This is a great video 👏🏾!!! Especially the tone test!
Thank you!
Fantastic video comparison, thanks so much for the excellent information and real-world use and experience suggestions!
Glad you enjoyed it!
dude, finding your vids has been a god send!
Thank you 🙏
I bought the Lekato 1s off the back of this video.
Only used it at a few rehearsals with my Sontronics Solo mic but working well so far!
Im still thinking about upgrading to the EV RE3, Shure SLXD or Sennheiser EW-D at somepoint, but these are great so far.
Thanks for doing this Scott. I appreciate the quick feedback to requests.
Thanks Paul!
The Kimafun DEFINITELY had a low end emphasis which set it apart from the other, and I immediately knew that 2 and 5 belong together. For the other ones, not so much of a difference (except for the hiss). The other ones were however very usable still, and it is to be argued if the low end is ADDED on 2 & 5 or SUBSTRACTED on the other ones. So while I agree that with these audio transmission gear, it does not necessary have to be a tone test to determine the best ones, there still are sometimes differences which can matter.
Anyhow, awesome review, thanks a ton your videos!
For sure! And that’s why I included it because I know some people like those. Kimafun is my favorite sounding one too, but I gig often with the other ones and they are completely useable too. I honestly wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t do a sit down comparison in my studio… which again, is part of my point about comparing them in the studio vs how they sound live. Again, just my opinion, and thanks for leaving yours 🤘 I appreciate it!
I selected #4 and #7 and as it turns out, that was the Alto Stealth unit. In my opinion, it had more "presence" (midrange perhaps?) to the sound as compared to the others.
As always, great info. Would have been cool to see the Xvive unit compared here as well. Still, keep up the good work Scott!
Thanks! And I didn’t include it because it’s 2.4ghz and it’s more expensive, so ultimately I passed on it
I own the Xvive U3 and it works quite reliably on my dynamic Audio OM5. It is reliable but not as reliable as most UHF systems. I play regularly in a restaurant where there will be 80 plus cell phones at any given time. The XLR Xvive would perform flawlessly several shows in a row and then I would get several really fast drop outs. The Xvive guitar system was not useable. I returned one and the replacement functioned poorly as well. I tried the guitar system on 3 different guitars, with the same poor result. Your mileage may vary. I watched this video to try to learn more about the Alto UHF system. I would use the system to send my PA House Mix to a remote PA Speaker. I agree with the reviewer that the dangly antenna on the transmitter would make it undesirable for a handheld mic situation....even though my vocal mic remains on a boom stand, I would prefer to not use this system for that purpose.Nice review over all, Thanks!
Awesome assessment. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 🤘
Excelent presentation. I’ve subscribed. Cheers.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks bro for the great video. Now i have better understanding of what to buy. Mostly gonna be used for p/a.
Appreciate this. I use the Lekato!
Good choice!
Thanks for making this video. Very helpful. I watched a lot of CZcams videos - including yours. I purchased the Lekato and have been very pleased with it after using it for 4 solo gigs. It has worked every time perfectly. At the same time I also got an Ammoon 5.8GHz guitar system. The mic and guitar systems work perfectly together and I've had no drop outs. I'm still trying to adjust to not tripping over cables.
Nice! Yeah the lekato is definitely a gem!
Hey would it last for years?
Thank you for the detailed look at all of these! I've used the Lekato for a couple of years now (Own four of these) for PA and have had little if any issues. I think I will try the Kimafun as an alternative.
Would love to find a decent wireless mic headset with a similar dongle type setup.
Glad it was helpful. And I haven’t seen many, except I think MiPro might make one? I could be wrong
Although the volumn wasn't as loud, I personally like #2. Good low end, clearer. But hard to choose. Now, I have a LeKato MW-1. I like a lot. Going to buy another.
Your channel is literally making me just want the simplest Set up possible. Love what you do. I do have a question though.
I run a Kemper live. Is there a wireless ethernet type cable so I can use the footswitch wirelessly? I would looove to eliminate practically all the cables in my set up.
Also would it work if I used one of these devices in the video to go from my Kemper to my splitter for my in ears?
Thanks! And just keep in mind, you are starting to add a lot of wireless to your setup. I don’t recommmend using a bunch of cheap ones. I cover that in this video:
czcams.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/video.html
I don’t know of wireless Ethernet, but I know you could get the widi Jack and/or widi Master and a midi pedal and control it that way:
czcams.com/video/bR1zKrNflCY/video.html
Top review 🖖🏾
Thank you 🙏
Hi Scott, Thank you as always for your videos, i have learned so much form you. :)
Tech question please , do you think the Lekato Wireless adapter could be used with the behringer powerplay p2 to make it a wireless IEM. I used a Xair 12 desk.
Thanks in advance , Cheers
Yup you could do that. I have a video about something similar: czcams.com/video/AoykGJRcPPw/video.html
I bought the Lekato one on Amazon to use from connecting my Torpedo cab sim to the in on my rack splitter on my IEM rack. It technically worked but destroyed the guitar tone, added a ton of bad overtones. But that might not be what it’s designed to be used for
I use the altos no problems as yet
I was like "Omg sounds test 1, 5 & 7 sound amazing. Of course two of those MUST be the same transmitter." Boy was I wrong lmaoooo 3 different transmitters 😫🤣 I guess it doesn't matter which one I buy at this point lol I had to keep watching to learn more and reeeeally choose one.
This video was great. I'm in a band and I'm tired of using wired mics, but I'm new to picking a transmitter as you can tell 😅. This video helped sooooo much!
Awesome video! Helpful and informative.
Awesome! Glad you found the video helpful 🤘
Thanks!
Thank you!
I listened to all the tones of transmitters ,5 and 6 seem better tone to me. thanks for your advice.
My opinion is see if they matched up both times and were the same one. If you didn’t select the same one twice, it doesn’t matter. But that’s just me. Thanks for watching either way 🤘
Hi Scott! I've just subscribed. Thank you for your great reviews! I'm trying to get 4 wireless mic (all sm58), and one wireless accordion mic (it needs phantom, so no brainer it's the kimafun). I'm wondering if it makes sense to get 4 lekato and 1 kimafun, or go with 5 kimafuns because they have more channels. I'm unsure because they are UHF, and we already have 3 Anleon S3. Hope you can help me with a recommendation. Cheers!
Thanks for the sub! I don’t recommend that many cheap wireless all at once. Watch this video: Choosing the Right WIRELESS SYSTEM - A Comprehensive Guide

Just discovered your awesome channel. Thank you for your videos. Just got the Lekato MW 1 5.8 Ghz for 4 mics and working beautifully wonderful sound. Going to Zoom L12 daisy chain through Bose T1 to Bose L1 mod 2 column. After all these years got the wireless obsession so decided to buy Lekato 5.8 WS 90 for Mustang lt25 that I mic to mixer to go to Bose speaker. It's a modeling amp with 30 presets and has created lots of buzzing depending upon which preset I use. The hum buzz is driving me kind of crazy so I guess I'll go to one of your other videos about what to do about cheap wireless guitar adapters before I send it back. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Cheers!

@@ScottUhlMusic thank you Scott.
Was only able to find out that 3 and 8 were the system because of the annoying 'white noise' during the tests. Beside that, soundwise they sounded great!
Yup, exactly. Those were obvious that they sounded bad right away 👍
I hope you had a great time In my country the Bahamas
We definitely did! That ocean water is incredible 🥰
4 and 7 sounded good for me.
Great reviews. Btw does turning the phantom power on during a performance make a "thud" through the PA ? Tnx
I’ve never turned it on during the performance. It should be setup ahead of time
Very nice. Thanks again Scott
Thanks 🤘
I have an Xvive U3 I use with a harmonica mic. I was eying up the Lekato for my vocal mic. Would another U3 make more sense? Would the Lekato and Xvive play well together? Which of the so is better? Thanks!
I would be cautious because you are falling into the trap I see the most: using too much cheap wireless all at once. I suggest watching this video: czcams.com/video/xRmmgrQoHZU/video.html
Thanks for the review. I bought 2x Alto Stealth and tried using them with my floor wedges... experienced tons of dropouts. They might work better for mains on tripods. Not reliable for floor monitors - just sharing in case anyone is looking at those.
Thanks for sharing! Wireless environment is complicated. So it’s not necessarily that “they don’t work with floor monitors” but it could have been on a bad channel and/or didn’t have very good line of sight. I’ve used them before for PA speakers and they’ve worked well. I do prefer the Lekato or Kimafun ones personally
@@ScottUhlMusic I agree whole heartedly. In my case, I believe it's a line of sight thing.. if they were higher up on tripods we likely would have had different results. Because they were on the floor and because we play lots of upbeat covers, they were contending with tons of folks dancing and creating obstacles if you will (honestly, not the best mix for achieving direct line of sight). I'm going to keep them and use one from my mic to my TC Helicon which is right in front of me in hopes to salvage at least one of them ;)
Jesus h Christ why did it take so long for me to find someone reviewing gear that knows what the hell he’s talking about. Keep it up Lol
I enjoy your a
Show and information.
Can you use a wireless XLR adapter on a DMX network?
Not with these, but I have reviewed wireless DMX dongles: czcams.com/video/uF1WwpKcsXI/video.html
Would I be able to use a Lekato set for vocals and and another Lekato set for a digital piano? I have an amp/pa with 2 mic inputs and 2 instrument inputs.
Two wireless systems usually isn’t a problem, of course it all depends on the venue/environment, but most of the time 2 are fine
So we have a lobby outside of our sanctuary were we hold dinners and other small events. My plan is to use two floor monitors in the lobby with wireless transmitters back to the sound board back in the sanctuary. Then I’m looking at getting an inexpensive Phenyx pro wireless microphone system. Do you think it would be ok to put transmitters on both the speakers and the microphone system? Should I use two different systems one for the microphones and one for the speakers?
With only a few cheap wireless, you should be fine. Just the more cheap wireless you use at once the more likely you will get drop outs. It all depends.
hey Scott, Im looking to get Audio out from a mixer wirelessly into a Roland Aerocaster (switcher studio for live video) with 2 XLR inputs. Will any of these work? 🤔
If it takes xlr cables, any of these will work. If it needs phantom power, only the Kimafun will work 👍
hi scott will these work with personal in ear monitor headphone amplifier such as donner em1 or behringer p2 . which both accepts xlr .... but these wireless xlr are designed for dynamic microphones not an in ear system . do you think there will be problems?
Yup, I’ve done that before 👍
Hi Scott.... I am looking for a way to make a pair of passive (non-powered ) speakers wireless. will the Kumafun unit work? If not, is there something else out there that will?
Yup, these should work well 👍
Purchased the alto stealth. Honestly it failed me multiple times. For the price I wouldn’t buy it again. The transmitter and receiver have to be within 15 feet and clear line of sight. If not there is drop out. I also don’t like that you need to change the channel manually on each device. Very inconvenient as a mobile DJ
That’s definitely frustrating. But also not my results. Thats because it ALWAYS depends on the environment you are playing in. Where you played, you need a wider tuning bandwidth and the cheap stuff doesn’t offer that. My advice is to always have a backup, or get two of these on different frequencies, or spend the money on higher end gear 👍
for me I heard a huge difference in the Diginow... i'd personally avoid that one... the rest were very similar, #7 was a little noisy but not as much as 8....
Yeah that super cheap one wasn’t great
Would you be able to use the KIMAFUN continuously if you plugged it in? I really like the fact that it has phantom power but I definitely want a receiver that lasts longer than 2 hours.
I’m not sure, but I believe you can yes
Hey question for anyone with an answer for it. We have a wired podcast setup and are looking to use wireless adapters to help manage loose cords. Currently we are using a cloudifter for our mics and I'm still a beginner with some of this stuff, but my question is when using a cloudlifter that uses phantom power from our audio interface does that mean if we got an adapter would we need to pick one that is compatible with phantom power since it would be plugged into the cloudlifter? Maybe a dumb question but rather ask and know for sure. Thanks
I haven’t tried that, that’s a good question. I do not know.
I like the alto with the replaceable battery the most. I don’t like needing 2 units if a battery is dead
You could also just have extra batteries too if you need it for more than 3.5-4 hours 👍
Can we use this wireless adaptor for video? eg. tapping the sound from the console/mixer for my camcorder?
It can replace anything that is xlr 👍
My H&K Tubemeister amp has a built in direct box (xlr connector). I wonder how well suited these wireless adapters would be to create a FOH connection between my amp and PA?
Try it, and return it if it doesn’t work 👍 those sennheiser ones I use are a nice high end one if you need it
anything running tubes are notoriously noisy and love to interfere with radio signals. this would be a fascinating test case tho. Basically if any of these wireless transmitters worked well with a source w/tube amplification, I would buy these over the others. it's a good idea for a torture test.
Well put..there is no way to tell how something sounds over wifi and a phone..Live use is the ONLY way..thanks for all your work gathering all this info
Agreed completely. Thank you!
I use Joyos that look exactly like those Lekato ones
Yup they basically the same
I'm curious if you have issues with added hiss with your Lekato system. I have the Joyo version which looks exactly the same (Joyo even claims to make the Lekato brand), and there's definitely a hiss that isn't there with an XLR cable. In the mix of multiple instruments you probably wouldn't notice, but with a solo acoustic set its definitely present. Just curious if this is a common setback with these cheaper XLR adapters and why the good ones are several hundred dollars more.
That can happen with different setups. That’s what I’ve found with cheaper wireless. I don’t have that problem with my setup really (or at least it’s not noticeable), but it can happen for other people with cheaper wireless.
@@ScottUhlMusic That makes sense. It's very apparent in this Behringer mixer that I tested it on at my desk, but plugging it into my EV 30m PA, its much better. It's still there, but can't really be heard at from an audience standpoint. Love your channel by the way. I've been binge watching all your videos. :)
Question: what is your experience to use wireless xlr to connect a digital amp modeler to studio speakers. I use the hush core at home and live so always cable at home to connect. Any experience on this topic would be useful.
You can do that 👍 anything that accepts xlr audio, these can be used instead
Oke great. Any advice on what to use? Do I need high quality or is a budget version sufficient. Distance is short.
Have you tried any of these with a guitar model such as a helix, etc? Thanks in advance.
For going out of the helix? Yeah that would work 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic yeah! Thanks.
I bought the alto stealth about 2 weeks ago i used them 2 times and the receiver is eating up the battery life a lot. It last less than 2 hour in brand new batteries. Do you have any idea what would be the problem? Thank man. Great video.
Weird, mine survives 4 hours, but I do find the battery life on the alto is probably the worst, but I’m getting more than 2 hours out of it.
@@ScottUhlMusicthank you for the reply. I don’t know what to do with them. I’m trying to contact alto but they don’t even have a customer phone number. Thanks again.
Can the Kimafun or Lekato be used with a Behringer P1 in ear monitoring system?
Yes 👍
I tried to guess which ones were the same as each other before checking and my results were 100% wrong. My guesses were 1 and 2, 5 and 7, 3 and 8, 4 and 6. Just shows you've got to try them and see if they work for you and with your gear.
Yup! Exactly! Thanks for commenting, I appreciate the insight 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic no worries, thanks for the content. Very helpful
Do you actually use wireless to go from your mixer main outs to your speakers? How many frequencies would you have to have to accomplish this with vocal mics, guitars, backing tracks, and cabling? I may be leaving something obvious out, but this certainly sounds possible and it pairs well with your “no wires on stage “ strategy!
Yup! I do that all the time, and it works great! It just replaces the xlr from the mixer to the speaker. Definitely test it, because if that one goes out, that’s ALL your sound.
@@ScottUhlMusic How do you keep all the frequencies separated so there’s no interference between all of them? Are there certain frequencies for cabling (main outs) to powered speakers, and microphones, and guitars?
This is all new to me.
@ScottUhlMusic
This is what I'm here for mate. Mixer to Powered speakers (not concerned about the mic 🎤 ).
So the LEKATOs 5.8 GHz, you are happy with?
🎸🎤🎶✌️🇬🇧
If I ran two of these in a row would there be a significant delay? I want to run one from the mixer to a Voicelive, and then back out to the mixer, to utilize a rackmount mic system, but still be able to control the Voicelive on stage. I already have a the Lekato wireless.
Proposed Signal Chain
Mixer [Wireless XLR OUT] > Voicelive In [Wireless XLR IN] > Voicelive Out [Wireless XLR OUT] > Mixer [Wireless XLR IN]
Or honestly any other suggestion to keep my stage wireless. I would like my Helix to be wireless too if I could make it work!
It should be ok, but you never know. Cheaper stuff usually has more latency, that isn’t noticeable by itself, but you can get compounded latency sometimes. I think in most situations should should be fine. Just be careful using too much cheap stuff all at once 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for taking the time to answer! Much appreciated!
🤔 so you think adapters might not work with these? I need to test them. What about pioneer VM 80s? Noth dj and studio monitors? 😊
You never know… my experience with cheap wireless gear is sometimes it works with your setup, sometimes it doesn’t.
I have 3 vocal mics, do you think the Lekaton would be a nice solution ?
The more wireless, the less you want to go cheap. I suggest watching this video: Choosing the Right WIRELESS SYSTEM - A Comprehensive Guide
czcams.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/video.html
My suggestion would be 2 lekato and 1 Alto, but again, these are budget wireless. I recommend watching that video 👍
I've owned two pairs of the Lekato (though one was rebadged as Joyo) and unfortunately, they both died. One died because my fiancee accidentally dropped the mic while at karaoke, and the other one just stopped working randomly, and ultimately only lasted about 18 months. We only used them for our own mics at karaoke, or for connecting DI boxes to audio interfaces for recording guitar and bass at home.
Cheap stuff can break easier, that’s true. I have one and so does my singer, and both of ours are still working great 👍
Why would you record wirelessly.
@@Domenooch when it's a demo idea and getting it out quickly is more important than perfection, when it's a tone test to send to a band mate to see what they think of the guitar tone, or when it's not actually recording, but just using an amp sim to practice with headphones. Wireless IEM's means I can open a custom preset and go play guitar while being comfortable on the couch in the living room while my fiancee and son are asleep, so as not to disturb them.
Any suggestions on stereo Bluetooth receivers that can pick up/share a signal from a transmitter or even just a phone?
You cannot use Bluetooth for live audio: Is WIRELESS AUDIO The Same As BLUETOOTH?
czcams.com/video/rKyAxbUBkis/video.html
But if you need a good Bluetooth adapter I like this one: czcams.com/video/x73vwFApkgQ/video.htmlsi=807khgsZzfBL_UGX
@@ScottUhlMusic yep. Just looking to get signal from phone to active pa in the workshop / around the property
The unit that runs on AA battery, will it work properly on 1.2 volt rechargable battery ?
A rechargeable AA battery? I use rechargeables all the time, but not sure the voltage
I make a query. What happens when the battery, which is internal, reduces its performance. Should I buy another equipment or is it replaced? Previous systems run on removable batteries. I await your comments. greetings
Once the internal battery dies, you have to replace the unit (unless you know how to get the battery out). That’s okay to me at this price point
Hey, could I use the lekato 5.8 microphone adapter with my behringer p2 . I would use the transmitter to the behringer p2 for my in ear monitor and the receiver to an output on my board . Would this work ?
Yup 👍
I've tried something similar (using P2 with a Lekato guitar wireless adapter) and it works fine, but it's a bit bulky, and more things to keep charged. I've switched to Lekato ms-1 wireless IEM adapter which is a lot smaller, although 2.4ghz so might not be best in all situations. It's not given me a problem in a room with WiFi close by and 100+ mobile phones.
Great video! that antennas are really bad IMHO especially if you drop it may damage it...but it is a personal opinion...
Thanks! And the antennas on the Kimafun are great
Can I buy a receiver separately? I wish to connect to to PA built in system speakers so I would need to receivers (one for each speaker) can you also make a video on how to connect these to more than one speakers?
You’ll need 1 transmitter and 1 receiver for every wireless signal. You cannot send one transmitter to 2 receivers for example.
For mixer to speaker setup, plug the transmitter into the mixer and the receiver into the speaker. Just like you would an XLR cable 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic many thanks ! If i buy two sets of it and put the two receivers on two speakers and put one mic and two receivers on same channel. Then also it will not work? I am ok to use a mixer setup as long as i can connect two speakers wirelessly, do we have such possibilities? Sorry i really cant stand wires.
I purchased the ones with antennas after watching this and it was ok at low volume then when I turned it up all bad distortion
That can happen with cheap stuff with some setups. That is the risk with cheap. Mine works great. Not everyone will have that result with their specific gear
@@ScottUhlMusic agreed thank you!
What's the most reliable/ recommended frequency?
Always depends on the environment, it’s different everywhere. But in general, 2.4ghz is the least reliable
Hey which is best, it should last for years Lekato or kimofun?
Which would you suggest?
“It should last for years…” then buy something more higher end :) Shure or sennheiser make great ones!
However, both the lekato and Kimafun ones are still working great for me
@@ScottUhlMusic would you provide me with those models if possible
Legato one have you used more than one at a gig?
I’ve used that one constantly. Probably 75 gifs now between me and my singer (who also has one). It’s an extremely reliable unit
Does anyone know if the Lekato MW1 and the Joyo MW1 are the exact same thing? The look identical.
Yeah they are basically the exact same
Hey anyone know what would be the best to purchase when singing solo using a beta58a & Senhieser mic here in the uk ?. Singing House Music moving around " not far". Would also be plugged into a portable pa system
Thanks in advance
Lekato 5.8ghz is legal basically everywhere 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thankyou mate!! Which mic any suggestions Sen e83 or Ev nd76 for House /club vocalist?
As a person who is NOT a audio file. 1 through to4 sounded awesome and mostly the same, the rest to my ears didn't sound like I wanted it..
Will legato 5.8 work well with a sennheiser make 600???
2 wireless on different frequencies will almost always be fine
I bought lekato mw-1 for my headworn mic, and sometimes when I work at bars/restaraunts/on ships i hear A LOT of hiss but sometimes this noise dissapear after i turn on/off, and sometimes it did not dissapear and idk what to do and its drive me crazy )))
You DID get a cheap wireless. That’s part of the risk. Try changing channels, but that’s part of what can happen with cheaper gear
@@ScottUhlMusic yeah, i think thats because xlr, i worked for a year with much cheaper 2.4ghz guitar joyo wireless and there was no issues at all for year, but with 5.8 xlr i have a lot issue so i guess it’s depend
Scott look at the lekato k380s
Oh wow! Those are wicked cheap. Although 2.4ghz too. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ScottUhlMusic yeah and not bad for most people's use cases. Plus you get 2 wireless mics. It can pass as a vocalist mic but needs EQ tweaking, I use it on my Eon Compact.
So I’m a singer in a band and have always sung through a wired 58 or many years ago a Samson wireless with 58 mics. Would you put you money into the Lekato or the PhenyxPro PTU7000a. Why did you not use the PhenyxPro with your partner if you rate it so highly. Is the PhenyxPro not suitable for lead vocal singing consistently? Incredible videos. Keep me from sleeping as sound porn can only be watched when wife is asleep
The Phenyx pro wireless mics are great! But they aren’t as portable as the lekato adapter. When we travel, I like to bring the lekato for her mic and then I usually just wire my mic. That’s just me for the travel rig that can fit in my backpack
@@ScottUhlMusic so I could use the PhenyxPro as a lead vocal for a pub/function band ? Also do all 4 mic volumes get set on the receiver and then a single line out of that mix goes to the mixer. Forgive my incorrect terms I’ve come back to lead singing after 20 years of musical theatre and the tech is staggering.
Be great to hear your thoughts
@scottuhlmusic - any thoughts on the PhenyxPro for lead vocals ?
I bought the Lekato. No issues connecting but they sound like garbage compared to a cable.
Thin and super quiet. Did I get a lemon or is no one else hearing the terrible tone ?
Mine doesn’t do that, but that can happen with any cheap wireless: czcams.com/video/xRmmgrQoHZU/video.htmlsi=AeL01HCCiYOBwouu
is this xlr wireless better than cheap in eatlr monitoring system? cuz it's will fit with behringer pm2
You should use a dedicated in ear monitor system for in ears… but yes these can be used for in ears when the behringer p2. I’ve done that before 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic okay thank u so much for your help, i just need it for my beat instrumental and mic output from mixer to my in ear👍
Can the Kimafun units be powered continuously via USB like the Alto's?
I believe so, yes
Thanks for responding. Last question...all of transmitters/receivers for all units "need" to be line of sight? Are there any you'd recommend if line of sight is not logistically feasible?@@ScottUhlMusic
If line of sight is not possible you 100% should NOT be using cheap ones like this. It can work sometimes, but line of sight is always best with any wireless. But if you cannot get line of sight, getting higher end wireless is important. I recommend watching this video; czcams.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/video.htmlsi=m5Nx3-_TSr-RkUqu
Thanks. Are these still legal per the FCC?
You need to look at the laws in your country. All of these are good in USA and 2.4ghz is allowed everywhere
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks a lot. I am in the USA. I want to use these with my over-the-ear or head-worn with an attached "next to the ear" monitor. I would attach them via the cord they come with and put the transmitter in my pocket. Should I expect problems executing that idea.
Can lekato 5.8 compatible for sennheiser e945 dynamic microphone?
The “doesn’t work with xyz mic/system” I go over in this video: What Is The BEST CHEAP WIRELESS SYSTEM - Part III
czcams.com/video/xRmmgrQoHZU/video.html
That’s specifically about cheap guitar wireless, but the idea is still the same for cheap xlr adapters
I mean this lekato 5.8 compatible with any dynamic microphone like mine sennheiser e945 or just for shure sm58?
Works whit all dynamic mic no condensser
Haven't seen the Fame EZ Wireless so far here on CZcams...
I haven’t heard of those
Which one has least hissing background noise?
That can happen with any cheap wireless I’ve found… depending on the setup: czcams.com/video/kUNBHi5F3aQ/video.htmlsi=hsHq2g3icBk3S1XS
How do the Xvive U3 compare to these
U3 is in 2.4ghz so imo it’s overpriced when I can get other ones not in 2.4ghz
@@ScottUhlMusic They are. They are $199. I am a DJ and bought them to use on side fill speakers or put a speaker out in a cocktail area. I think you said the Kimafun is what you would use for a PA system right?
whatabout a Backtalk mic?
Works great for that!
I've bough Lecato last week. And it became my huge dissapointing. Well, yes, it sounds good, but what's the point if it constantly looses connection at least once a minute and when connection comes back it makes a repeating of the lost phrase several times like echo. Also it produce loud clicks from time to time. Of course I've tryed to change channel and there were not any wifi routers near me, nothing helped. I've tryed to use this lecato in two different places on two different events where were about 70-100 people and result was more or less the same. In my opinion this shit is good only for karaoke or other not importante event. I do not understand how it can be used for connecting PA, it's very riscky.
I disagree. Literally used it again today. The lekato is truly an awesome product for the price. I’ve used it so many times and it’s worked flawlessly. Make sure you aren’t sending it too far and make sure you have direct line of sight from transmitter to receiver. Mine has worked so well, my singer bought two of them for himself. I highly recommend it still
@ScottUhlMusic It was happening literally 3 meters away from the receiver on the line of sight. Changing channels didn't help. None wifi routers were near, but there were at least 100 people with iphones. For me such behavior of the equipment is strong sign of unreliable useless device. If you have other experiences, I believe. But for me it's bad equipment and I won't recommend it to my friends and clients.
What about xvive?
It’s 2.4ghz and higher priced than the other ones. I like xvive, but I didn’t include it for that reason
@@ScottUhlMusic I think it has different channels to minimise the 2.4ghz issue?
Can you run these into an Android phone?
No, they are for xlr
companding?
Compander audio for wireless transmutation or latency? What are you asking about?
@@ScottUhlMusic I ask for both.These systems are affected by companding process.There only a few product on the market without compander.The latency also is a must for acustic measurements.This digital wireless devices had too much latency for this purpose (measurements mics)
👌👍🙏🙏🙏
Yo can we use these in fl studio?
The software? I’m not sure I understand the question
@ScottUhlMusic yes like for recording in the software
@@camdatboi I'm not Scott but in my experience it should be fine assuming that the wireless is just plugged in like any other XLR input would be through a mixer, audio interface etc. FL detects inputs not the specific equipment so it'll treat the wireless adapters the same as cable.
@@KSMusicOfficial246 preciate it trynna streamline the setup you know
@@camdatboi haha absolutely understand dude, best of luck with it
DIGITNOW - I don't recommend it! Hum, hum, hum!! Made in China. My help: I connected the Behringer HD400 ultra-compact 2-channel hum destroyer in between. The Sennheiser XSW-D XLR basic set is professional! Greetings from Europe.
None of these, Xvive U3 Wireless Microphone System is the best!
I like xvive for sure. But it’s on 2.4ghz which is why I prefer the other ones
Lekato MW-1= Joyo MW-1
They seem almost the exact same yeah.
