"The best all-round wireless unit I've used."
ONE issue - the "pilot" frequency can fool itself and cancel if the reciever antennas are too close together in a rack. This pilot freq is the "auto hush" circuit that keeps an unused transmitter church quiet when the guitar is not transmitting. Watch your antenna placement (relative to each other), and all is well. Senn gents - please update your manual - this is important for frustrated non-techies.
Sound
Clear, no drop outs. Good range.
Features
Autoscan frequencies, or manual select. AA Batteries last a long time, and rechargeables last quite long, too.
Quality
Robust. Metal. Short, though antenna. Metal 1/8" plug with retaining screw ring to set guitar cord to transmitter pack (solid). Perfect record in live use from our last tour. Clear. Range. Long battery life. Kiss your 9 volt pile goodbye.
Value
You get what you pay for. Not the least expensive, but (nearly) flawless in on stage use. See "pilot freq." notes below. My next wireless will be other units like this.
Manufacturer Support
On this unit, support not used, but on previous Senn unit the support was iffy on a tough technical issue - no one had an answer, no further help was offered. No complaints on the use of the unit - this is the third Senn unit used, all have been as advertised.
The Wow Factor
Very good ergonomics / use / size. The best wireless unit I've used.

"Great wireless for guitar"
Verified Customer

If the manual was better, I'd give it a ten.
Sound
For me, this is a close to a wired sound as you can get. It has adjustable input sensitivity which is great when playing with hot humbucking, hi ouput pickups and other guitars that don't have such high output.
Features
Built like a tank -METAL!! not plastic. I love the option rack mount kit. The wireless pack has a really difficult clip to use. The good news is, once it is one, there's no way it is falling off. The clip is reversable, too. Very comfortable to wear, easy access to the mute switch when switch guitars. I personally think the 3 foot cable is a bit much.
Quality
I've only had for two weeks and used it twice in live performances, but absolutely no problems. It is built like a tank. Should last a very long time, especially with the secure rack mount
Manufacturer Support
Didn't use support
The Wow Factor
The bouncing signal indicator is cool if you're into that. I 'm just looking for something that works without dropouts.
