WIRELESS- NUX C-5RC ___NEW___ state of the art specs ...Reasonable price :-)

NUX C-5RC Guitar Wireless System 

5.8 GHz

$195.00 USD

Does it mess with your tone? It can never sound as good as cable. Wrong, and wrong. If you think that you better not buy anything Eventide, Strymon, ADA or ever record digitally. The best wireless spec is know well over double the spec where the human ear can perceive any difference. The new NUX at 3.8 GHz is double that spec. Even the common used 2.8 Ghz spec is more than enough. The problem with it is it has to deal with endless signals from consumer things like cell phones for space. 

I have the older NUX and out of about 30 gigs I had interference only once where I did not use it. I use mine at sound check to walk thru the whole club and get the 'real' idea of what the crowd will hear. If I only used it for that then I would HAVE TO have one.

BIG LEAGUE LOOK ON THE CHEAP

 Having a plastic lump sticking out of your guitar is a 'no-go' Lets fix it.

fold me :-)

Like all budget wireless rigs you have to plug the transmitter direct into your guitar. First it gets in the way. But the thing that bothers me more is it looks 'Micky Mouse'.

So lets make it look high end pro with a pouch that clips onto your guitar. You need mini flip top phone pouch, a 1/4 " female to female adapter and solid one piece style pedal patch cord. You simply leave your transmitter folded (see pic) push the adapter on to the transmitters jack, stick the cord into the other end. Pop it into the pouch with the adapter facing towards the back. It fits better this way and avoids turning off the transmitters switch.

The AH Military grade/pouch/Flip phone belt clip holder is a third the price of anything made for the job. Pouches designed specifically as wireless guitar transmitters are oversize to fit a larger unit.They are bulky and look like sh@t as well,lol. 

I prefer the switchcraft adapter it is rugged and can take having the hundreds of time you will be pulling out the the transmitter to charge it. On the other hand a cheap solid one piece pedal patch cable is fine. At a couple of bucks they are disposable even though mine has lasted a couple of years already.

the fine print

A guitar is no different than your clothing.You 'wear' your guitar. 

So even choosing your guitar for it's shape or color is a valid idea. 

Hence the pouch for the wireless. Now while I'm at it I have another pet peeve. 

Clip on guitars tuners. They too are beyond ugly. 

Would you clip one to ear or eye lases and go out in public? 

Why not? Oh you would look like a total goof. I rest my case.

I digress but clip on tuners react and can damage nitro cellulose 

lacquer like you get on a Gibson. It not only looks ugly it can seriously

lower the value of your guitar. great easy to read pedal tuners are a

s cheap as $50 a damaged finish on a headstock even on the 

cheapest Gibson will cost you more on a trade or sale.
