📦What's in the box:
- Transmitter (1 piece)
- Receiver (1 piece) (I got an additional one)
- Headphones (haven't tested them but I guess not that good)
- AC Adapter
💥Unit REAR panel:
- Anthena (I believe it can be upgraded)

💥Unit FRONT panel:
- Power button
- Power LED indicator
- Stereo/Mono switch (button)
- Headphones jack: You can actually use this 3.5mm jack to test the mix before sending the signal to the receivers. It also allows you to have an extra set of headphones receiving signal without having to use a receiver. This is particularly useful for drummers, pianists or musicians that do not need to move around while performing.
- Volume knob: this one only affects the volume of the headphones connected in the Headphones jack, NOT the receivers.
- Channel: 6 channels available which have to be matched with the channel selected in the receivers. Test them all and choose whatever works best in your venue.

- Power/volume knob
- Battery compartment. No batteries include

I have this unit also. The included earbuds were horrible. I replaced with KZ's and it made a huge difference. Note, if too much signal is sent to the unit, the receiver/earbuds will cut for a couple seconds due to the limiter setting which is not adjustable, AFAIK, so be careful!

[@PachMusic]

Agreed 100%. I also upgraded to KZ’s, the original ones sound cheap.

[@sbrave]

@@PachMusic I've used them on a better IEM system as well, and they sound great. Def worth $40

[@jijojose5112]

Does it sounds descent

[@sbrave]

@@jijojose5112 The unit or earbuds? For $100, the unit sounds good, but you def need to upgrade to better earbuds.

[@jijojose5112]

I mean the system

[@Hellemmm]

Can receiver batteries be charged inside receiver unit? Does receiver has a power in plug to charge the batteries? Or we need to charge them outside receiver?

[@PachMusic]

Receivers have AA batteries, so I just purchase rechargeable ones and that’s it. No plug or docking functionality.

[@Hellemmm]

@@PachMusic oh.. that's not good... Seems like it needs power modification with usb-c and lithium rechargeable battery.

[@PachMusic]

@Hellemmm matter of perspective. I have no issue having several batteries and a charger. No big deal for me.

[@Hellemmm]

@@PachMusic great! And I have about 10 wireless headphones, and battery management goes much easier with single cable connection.

[@burbman60]

Thanks for sharing the review. Tomas

[@PachMusic]

My pleasure Tomas. Check out the part 2! Cheers

[@joshdude83]

I'm considering buying this IEM system on Amazon, I've been watching lots of review videos and reading up about it. I have a very limited budget. Looks like it's a pretty decent system for the money. I know I could get something higher quality if I had a bigger budget.. that's neither here nor there. This wouldn't be for anything professional, with a band or anything like that, this would just be for home use, for when I am doing live streams on Facebook or Twitch or when I am recording guitar videos.
Interesting coincidence, the curtains that are at the side of your desk, I have those same exact curtains in my bedroom 🤣

[@PachMusic]

Universe message telling you to get’em🤘🏽

[@erniegilman5233]

I need something like this that I can modify (I know how to do it). I have to feed an audio board's signal into an iPad some ten meters away. I can't run wires so I need to get the signal to the iPad via RF, that is, radio frequency. This unit could do exactly what I want.
I have two questions, though:
That noise that you'r talking about... what kind of noise is it? Is it a hiss, like white noise, or a scratchy sound, or? Please describe in Spanish if you don't have the English words for it.
And about how much did the transmitter and on receiver cost?

[@PachMusic]

Ernie Gilman hi. It was like 170 on Amazon plus like 70 for another receiver.
The noise as got way better after testing all the channels.
If was kind of a white noise by the time and now I only hear it when the source is too loud, for the most part it’s sure good quality for the price

[@notanothermusecoverband4140]

Hi there, I just bought 2 of transmitters/receivers and I am looking at putting it into my rack. Do you have any suggestions on how we can mount this on my rack without affecting the antenna?

[@PachMusic]

It all comes down to sliding drawers or just fixed shelves. Depending on that you gotta make the decision on how to put them and wire them. Of course be careful with the anthenas while closing, sliding, transporting. Fold them closed and open as needed

[@jeremyjoanes1268]

Hi I live in Canada whAts the best frequency band to get

[@PachMusic]

I really don’t know if it depends on the country or just the interference that you might get in the venue you’re playin’ in. Do you already have them or planning to purchase?

[@jeeeeev]

How is it so far

[@PachMusic]

Really good🤘🏽

[@sebastiandiaztrujillo9431]

Hola, compré uno hace poco pero al conectar mi bajo eléctrico, comienza a hacer ruido cada vez que pulso una nota, pero al escuchar música a través del teléfono celular el ruido desaparece. Que será? Algún problema al escuchar los instrumentos?

[@PachMusic]

Hola Sebastián. Explícame cómo conectas porque no entiendo a dónde conectas el bajo y desde donde conectas el inalámbrico. Tampoco entendí qué tiene q ver el teléfono en el signal flow

[@sebastiandiaztrujillo9431]

@@PachMusic conecto el bajo electrico a la mesa de sonido a través de un cable plug y el teléfono celular lo conecté a la mesa para reproducir música y ver si permanecía este ruido. El sistema inalámbrico lo conecte en las salidas auxiliares 1 y 2 de la mesa de sonido. No he tenido problema al reproducir música y escucharla a través del sistema pero cuando toco un instrumento como una guitarra o bajo electrico estos producen como una especie de fuzz o ruido blanco, la única forma de perder ese ruido es conectando los audífonos directamente al emisor del sistema inalámbrico. Espero haber sido más claro, gracias por tu tiempo.

[@PachMusic]

Ok. Me queda claro.
El bajo entra al mixer directo, x caja DI, desde un amp?
Me da la impresión de que las salidas aux no tienen la impedancia necesaria para ese inalámbrico. Probaste varios canales?

[@sebastiandiaztrujillo9431]

@@PachMusic el bajo lo probé de varias formas, entrando directamente al Mixer, entrando a travez de la salida balanceada del amplificador al mixer y la última fue desde mis pedales directamente hacia el transmisor del sistema inalámbrico y el problema persiste. No sé si el receptor vino fallado o la impedancia de las salidas no es compatible con el sistema, como mencionas usted, pero de esto último tengo mis dudas ya que al conectar los audífonos directamente al transmisor deja de hacer este molesto ruido, solo el receptor es el que mantiene ese ruido. Te agradezco tu tiempo amigo, muchas gracias.

[@nachouseryt]

Hola Sebastián, me pasa lo mismo. Hay soplido paralelo en frecuencias graves, que con música grabada no se nota tanto como con el bajo eléctrico. Para salir de la duda pedí otro transmisor a un amigo, que lo compró meses atrás en el mismo lugar donde lo compre yo, que es Kairon y tiene el mismo efecto. Es como si fueran las bordonas de un redoblante al pulsar las notas del bajo

[@joestebant]

Hola, este dispositivo tiene limitador? gracias

[@PachMusic]

Hola, ¡sí!
Bueno, algo así.
Apenas detecta un pico alto no es que limite o comprima la señal, sino que la silencia instantáneamente. De ahí la importancia de tener un nivel de salida adecuado.

[@joestebant]

@@PachMusic Excelente, y es muy bajo el umbral o se puede estar bien alto antes que actúe?

[@PachMusic]

José Esteban Torres se puede estar bastante alto sí
