GEAR REVIEW
chassis with two sturdy antennas. It comes
with rack ears and joints to connect two units
into one rack space. Included also are the
VocoPro IE-9 single-driver earphones.
The belt-pack receiver also has a metal body
with an easy-to-read battery and signal meter.
I really like the discrete design. There really is
no need for an LED screen. I love that it has
a rechargeable battery that charges with a
basic micro-USB cable. For hearing protection,
the volume knob has resistance when turning
past 50% so that you know where you are
in the volume knob sweep. There is a gain
control knob on the transmitter to set up the
appropriate listening level. I have it set high
enough that I set the body pack at the place
where it starts resistance. This way I know my
level is good and I still have headroom if I need
a boost during service. I also appreciate that
the body-pack is lightweight.
Overall, this is a solid unit with fantastic sound
and clarity. I have had issues with much higher
priced wireless systems that would experience
sound blinks or connection problems. I have
used this system for multiple Sunday services
as well as rehearsals over the course of three
weeks with not a single issue or interference
inside of a church with a number of wireless
signals plus WIFI operating at the same time.
In the video, I show how simple it is to change
channels (including stereo and mono) and
quickly sync the receiver and transmitter
together. You may buy it because of the retail
price of $299, but I think you’ll keep it for the
product quality. It’s so nice to not be dependent
upon AA batteries… just keep the body-pack
receiver charged and it’s ready to go.
Retail $299
