Hit those vocal high notes as you climb the rafters at Reading and Leeds festival Eddie Vedder-style? But your guitar leads are holding you back? It might be time for a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA_Equipment\/Wireless_Systems.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wireless system<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a previously professional touring musician who has played Glasto, Reading, Leeds, and shared stages with multiple musicians, I can tell you that guitar leads can seriously get in the way. Mic and guitar leads (although useful) sometimes hinder performance, especially if you want to move into the crowd and crack out a killer solo while neck-deep in the pit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When playing at a festival, the thing that sets you apart from other bands is the connection between the audience and performer. So let\u2019s face it \u2013 if you\u2019re onstage playing a festival you don\u2019t want to stand in the same spot!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we\u2019re looking at the 9 best wireless systems for festivals that won\u2019t let you down, perfect for singers and guitarists who want to move around the stage and say goodbye to those guitar leads. They&#8217;ll ensure your sound is as good as, if not <em>better<\/em>, than a wired version and set you free onstage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Top benefits of a wireless system for a festival&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_benefits_of_a_wireless_system_for_a_festival\"><\/span><strong>Top benefits of a wireless system for a festival<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a nutshell, the main benefits of a wireless system for a festival are: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They allow you to move freely between the stage and crowd<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They&#8217;re more reliable than leads as no one can tread on them and break them<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They actually improve the tonal qualities of the sound as there are no issues with poor cable soldering<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a festival setting, being able to move around and connect with the crowd could be the difference between a good performance and a great one.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep reading for more detail on the specific benefits for guitarists, bass players, and singers later in the article.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;In a hurry?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_a_hurry\"><\/span><strong>In a hurry? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are our top 3 picks for the best wireless systems for a festival.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-22\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-22\">\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Shure GLXD24+\/SM58 Digital Wireless Microphone System<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The Shure GLXD24+ has 12 hours of use, is ultra-reliable thanks to dual-band connectivity, and comes with the industry standard live vocal mic, the Shure SM58.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Shure-GLXD24and-SM58-Digital-Wireless-Microphone-System\/5BE7\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check the current price<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Line 6 Relay G50 Wireless Guitar System<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The price point is incredible and the 200 ft range gives you wireless freedom of the guitar with the same tonal quality as a wired system - for the tone snobs out there!<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Line-6-Relay-G50-Wireless-Guitar-System\/CNJ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check the current price<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Electro-Voice RE3-ND96 Single Handheld Wireless Mic Set, Band 8M<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">This mic has a supercardioid polar pattern for greater precision, perfect for solo vocalists where your voice is the focus rather than the band, and the frequency scanning allows you to choose both free and licenced channels.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Electro-Voice-RE3-ND96-Single-Handheld-Wireless-Mic-Set-Band-8M\/2XNK\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check the current price<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-22 from cache -->\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Best wireless systems for festivals&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_wireless_systems_for_festivals\"><\/span><strong>Best wireless systems for festivals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Shure_GLXD24SM58_Digital_Wireless_Microphone_System\"><\/span><strong>1.

The SM58 is easily one of the best, if not\u00a0<em>the\u00a0<\/em>best, live vocal mics ever, and the fact you get this with the brand new Shure GLXD24+ system is a killer deal. For more info on great live vocal mics, take a look at our article <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/11-best-live-vocal-mics-for-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mic\u2019s robust aluminium alloy and ABS plastic housing ensure durability and reliability on stage, so if you drop it (and you likely will at some point in your career) you\u2019re OK<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! The high level of off-axis rejection also means your sound engineer won\u2019t have to battle with the other onstage musicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The major benefit here is that the GLX-D+ system automatically pairs between transmitters and receivers, (the box and the mic) so you don\u2019t have to worry about setup. Just turn up and plug in. This is a huge benefit if you\u2019re in a touring band or setting up between festivals. Stage changeover is around 15 minutes \u2013 you don\u2019t have time to mess with setting up! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also get a whopping range of up to 100 feet (30 metres) which is more than enough for a festival<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, the fact that the dual-band wireless technology scans both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands (we cover what this means below) to find the cleanest channels for your performance makes sure you have a stable, interference-free connection, without the risk of dropouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not always have time to charge your battery pack after the gig, but that&#8217;s fine as the rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use at the 5.8GHz band and 17 hours in the 2.4GHz band on a single charge. If you only have limited time before you go onstage, the quick charge feature offers 1.5 hours of use after just a 15-minute charge, which is long enough for a festival slot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shop now | Shure GLXD24+\/SM58 Digital Wireless System<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_AKG_DMS100_Wireless_Instrument_Set\"><\/span><strong>2.

Let me explain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a myth or common misconception that wireless systems destroy your tone. They don\u2019t. They\u2019re just not affected by guitar cables, which inherently affect your tone. This is why playing a wireless system may sound a little jarring to experienced guitarists. However, some guitarists prefer the sound degradation and \u201creal feel\u201d that longer guitar cables can be affected by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, the Line 6 Relay G50 Wireless Guitar System allows you to actually set the tone as though you\u2019re playing through a 15 feet or 30 feet guitar cable, or you can go completely digital. This is perfect for the tone snobs out there who are after the wired sound in a wireless system!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The receiver pack is pedal board-ready with side-mounted 1\/4&#8243; ins and outs and a tuner pass-through, as well as the standard 9VDC connection, so you can hook it up to your power supply on your board in seconds. There are also no setup issues \u2013 just plug the receiver into your signal chain, connect the receiver pack, and play!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why it\u2019s also one of the best wireless systems for festivals is the fact you have 200ft of range to play with (get in the pit!) while the DCL (Digital Channel Lock) technology eliminates interference from other sources for a crystal-clear sound, even when using a high gain amp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, the G50 operates in the 2.4GHz band, avoiding common interference issues and licence fees, and the unit provides 120dB dynamic range and studio-quality resolution with 24-bit A\/D conversion &#8211; even when you\u2019re miles away from your board, shredding a solo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a guitarist looking for the best wireless system for festivals, this should be on your list of considerations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shop now | <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Line-6-Relay-G50-Wireless-Guitar-System\/CNJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Line 6 Relay G50 Wireless Guitar System<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Shure_GLXD16_Digital_Wireless_Guitar_System\"><\/span><strong>6.

The key benefit here is that guitarists simply need to plug it into their pedalboard, connect the wireless pack to their guitar strap, and you\u2019re good to go. The transmitter and receiver pair instantly and you\u2019ve got 100 feet (30 metres) of range to play with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best of all, the GLXD16+ sits snugly on your pedalboard, hooks up to your existing power supply, and has a built-in chromatic tuner with changeable Hz settings, so you don\u2019t have to waste any room on your board &#8211; just replace your existing tuner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to playing festivals, guitarists will appreciate this wireless system as it automatically scans for the most suitable channels. It does this while logging and storing backup frequencies, switching between the two seamlessly if interference is detected and ensuring the best sound possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also get extended battery life &#8211; the Shure GLXD16+ Digital Wireless Guitar System offers up to 12 hours of use at 5.8 GHz frequency and 17 hours at 2.4 GHz frequency, perfect for longer sets and multiple shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key benefit is that the included lithium-ion battery pack is rechargeable and you get everything you need, including the transmitter, receiver, and guitar-to-bodypack cable, in the box \u2013 you\u2019re completely ready to go in seconds.

You may have one vocalist with a lower register and another with a higher register, you can simply use the onboard EQ features to set each mic to suit the vocalists exactly. This is ideal as some festival sound engineers may not realise you have different vocal techniques or styles until mid-way through the gig!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The onboard muting feature provided by the internal gyroscope is an interesting yet useful addition as it automatically senses microphone movement and mutes or unmutes the mic as needed. This is perfect for bands who need silent stage sounds and really helps reduce feedback if you hold the dynamic mic down towards the monitor speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a 100-metre (line of sight) operation range, the WF-300 wireless system gives you a strong and consistent signal performance across larger festival stages so you\u2019re free to roam!

The transmitter is the microphone or bodypack which you use to connect to your instrument or microphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these systems, the transmitter converts the audio signal from the instrument into a radio frequency signal which is then broadcasted wirelessly through the air. The receiver is usually positioned near the sound system or mixer and controlled by your sound engineer. It picks up the transmitted signal, decodes it, and converts it back into an audio signal that can be amplified and sent out to a PA or processed for recording.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how performers can move freely on stage without being restricted by cables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system.jpg\" alt=\"Shure GLX D 24 wireless mic system\" width=\"1330\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system.jpg 1330w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-1080x540.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1330px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Things to consider when researching wireless systems&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_consider_when_researching_wireless_systems\"><\/span><strong>Things to consider when researching wireless systems<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequency_spectrums_VHF_UHF_24GHz\"><\/span><strong>Frequency spectrums (VHF, UHF, 2.4GHz)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing you\u2019ll see a lot is the term &#8220;frequency spectrums&#8221;, and different frequency ranges have distinct advantages and disadvantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VHF (Very High Frequency) systems are usually more affordable, but they can be susceptible to interference as they run on the same channels as walkie-talkies and TV channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UHF (Ultra High Frequency) systems offer more channels dedicated to wireless microphones.

You can use them live, but you do need to consider the polar pattern when <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/can-you-use-a-condenser-mic-for-live-vocals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing one<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamic microphones such as the SM58 are considered the more \u201crugged\u201d mic as they&#8217;re less sensitive to high sound pressure levels like screaming vocals, making them ideal for loud instruments and bands that like to swing, throw, or accidentally drop their mic!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polar_patterns\"><\/span><strong>Polar patterns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The polar pattern of a microphone refers to the direction of its sound pickup. Omnidirectional microphones capture sound from all directions, while unidirectional microphones, such as cardioid or supercardioid, are more focused and reject sounds from other directions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing the right polar pattern for onstage sound, you should always go for a cardioid or supercardioid option as it will not only isolate your vocals far better but also make the sound engineer\u2019s life a lot easier as they won\u2019t pick up unwanted noise or sound bleed from the other instruments onstage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardioid and supercardioid mics also help reduce feedback onstage as they don\u2019t pick up the sound from your monitor speakers.

They also rely on companding which will likely colour your tone and never give you an accurate representation of your sound. Analog wireless systems can also be heavily affected by interference from other radio waves &#8211; this is why you never really see them anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital systems skip the compander altogether as they just convert the signal from analog to digital (you&#8217;ll notice AD\/DA converters in some specs) and maintain a better sound quality overall as it\u2019s sent across the 2.4GHz bandwidth (similar to Wi-Fi) and back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy a digital system of high quality, your tone is exactly how it should be. They\u2019re also less likely to suffer from interference because the signal is transferred digitally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware that cheaper wireless systems can sometimes have a latency issue, so always check the latency scores!

This was originally designed to reduce noise and improve the quality of sound, which was fine back in the early days of wireless systems.

However, if you&#8217;re going to play on a TV station or radio show, you may want to consider wired or 5.8 GHz as you may experience dropouts or signal interference from other devices. As always, choose the highest-quality wireless system you can afford from the likes of Shure, Boss, Line-6, or Sennheiser and the chance of you running into problems is almost zero!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Final thoughts&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the <strong>best wireless systems for festivals<\/strong>, you need to consider range, reliability, and frequency quality.

The SM58 is easily one of the best, if not\u00a0<em>the\u00a0<\/em>best, live vocal mics ever, and the fact you get this with the brand new Shure GLXD24+ system is a killer deal. For more info on great live vocal mics, take a look at our article <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/11-best-live-vocal-mics-for-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mic\u2019s robust aluminium alloy and ABS plastic housing ensure durability and reliability on stage, so if you drop it (and you likely will at some point in your career) you\u2019re OK<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! The high level of off-axis rejection also means your sound engineer won\u2019t have to battle with the other onstage musicians.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The major benefit here is that the GLX-D+ system automatically pairs between transmitters and receivers, (the box and the mic) so you don\u2019t have to worry about setup. Just turn up and plug in. This is a huge benefit if you\u2019re in a touring band or setting up between festivals. Stage changeover is around 15 minutes \u2013 you don\u2019t have time to mess with setting up! <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also get a whopping range of up to 100 feet (30 metres) which is more than enough for a festival<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, the fact that the dual-band wireless technology scans both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands (we cover what this means below) to find the cleanest channels for your performance makes sure you have a stable, interference-free connection, without the risk of dropouts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not always have time to charge your battery pack after the gig, but that's fine as the rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use at the 5.8GHz band and 17 hours in the 2.4GHz band on a single charge. If you only have limited time before you go onstage, the quick charge feature offers 1.5 hours of use after just a 15-minute charge, which is long enough for a festival slot.<\/span><\/p><p>Shop now | Shure GLXD24+\/SM58 Digital Wireless System<\/p><hr \/><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

The 14-hour run time is also especially useful if you\u2019re playing multiple sets throughout the day or multiple festivals on a weekend.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one-touch QuickScan feature makes it easy to set up as you simply press a button and you\u2019re connected to the highest quality frequency in seconds \u2013 no complicated setups or scanning for uncrowded frequencies.

Let me explain.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a myth or common misconception that wireless systems destroy your tone. They don\u2019t. They\u2019re just not affected by guitar cables, which inherently affect your tone. This is why playing a wireless system may sound a little jarring to experienced guitarists. However, some guitarists prefer the sound degradation and \u201creal feel\u201d that longer guitar cables can be affected by.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, the Line 6 Relay G50 Wireless Guitar System allows you to actually set the tone as though you\u2019re playing through a 15 feet or 30 feet guitar cable, or you can go completely digital. This is perfect for the tone snobs out there who are after the wired sound in a wireless system!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The receiver pack is pedal board-ready with side-mounted 1\/4\" ins and outs and a tuner pass-through, as well as the standard 9VDC connection, so you can hook it up to your power supply on your board in seconds. There are also no setup issues \u2013 just plug the receiver into your signal chain, connect the receiver pack, and play!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why it\u2019s also one of the best wireless systems for festivals is the fact you have 200ft of range to play with (get in the pit!) while the DCL (Digital Channel Lock) technology eliminates interference from other sources for a crystal-clear sound, even when using a high gain amp.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, the G50 operates in the 2.4GHz band, avoiding common interference issues and licence fees, and the unit provides 120dB dynamic range and studio-quality resolution with 24-bit A\/D conversion - even when you\u2019re miles away from your board, shredding a solo.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a guitarist looking for the best wireless system for festivals, this should be on your list of considerations.<\/span><\/p><p>Shop now | <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Line-6-Relay-G50-Wireless-Guitar-System\/CNJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Line 6 Relay G50 Wireless Guitar System<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p><hr \/><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.

Well, it operates on the\u00a0 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz wireless frequency ranges, meaning the system automatically scans for the best frequency at all times and logs backup versions in case of dropout. If the frequency becomes too crowded, which can happen at festivals, the system switches to an optimal channel so you\u2019re interference-free!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get 12 hours of continuous use at the 5.8 GHz band and 17 hours in the 2.4 GHz band, while the 30-metre range ensures you\u2019re totally free to roam the stage and get up close with your fans!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no setup issues. As soon as you turn it on, the system instantly pairs transmitters and receivers, so you\u2019re good to go as soon as you arrive onstage.

With the likes of the Shure GLX-D+ range allowing you to get as far as 200ft away from your receiver pack, you can do a Dave Grohl and move <em>way<\/em> into the crowd and make that connection with your audience. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, you can jump\/move around freely and not worry about tripping over cables, which is also a bonus. Guitar cables can suffer tonal degradation at anything over 18.5ft - you <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boss.info\/us\/community\/boss_users_group\/1633\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">don\u2019t get that with a wireless system<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wireless systems are not what they used to be. They're\u00a0<em>way<\/em> more reliable. With systems like Shure, AKG, and Line 6 providing incredible latency-free wireless systems, you no longer have to worry about your solos being out of sync.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also no chance of accidentally unplugging your guitar cable \u2013 which happens, trust me! In a festival scenario, this is a nightmare. Wireless systems eradicate that risk completely.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of wireless systems for singers<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of a wireless system for singers, especially in festival scenarios, are that they also provide freedom of movement. Unless you\u2019re Robert Plant or Adam Lazzara and you use the mic lead to swing your mic, you don\u2019t need the cable. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can walk around the stage, into the crowd, and fully take advantage of the larger stages at festivals. There\u2019s nothing worse than trying to connect with an audience and getting trapped by a mic lead or it coming undone and killing your sound.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, you don\u2019t have to worry about the poor quality XLR cable which has likely been used by 20 million other bands and not replaced (or even tested). You can simply hook up your system to the PA and remove the risk of a dodgy XLR cable altogether. The quality of vocals can make or break a gig, so it\u2019s something worth considering if you\u2019re a serious singer.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do transmitters and receivers work?<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of wireless systems, the receiver is the box with all the settings and the place where you select your channel. The transmitter is the microphone or bodypack which you use to connect to your instrument or microphone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these systems, the transmitter converts the audio signal from the instrument into a radio frequency signal which is then broadcasted wirelessly through the air. The receiver is usually positioned near the sound system or mixer and controlled by your sound engineer. It picks up the transmitted signal, decodes it, and converts it back into an audio signal that can be amplified and sent out to a PA or processed for recording.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how performers can move freely on stage without being restricted by cables.<\/span><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLX-D-24-wireless-mic-system.jpg\" alt=\"Shure GLX D 24 wireless mic system\" width=\"1330\" height=\"665\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things to consider when researching wireless systems<\/span><\/h3><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequency spectrums (VHF, UHF, 2.4GHz)<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing you\u2019ll see a lot is the term \"frequency spectrums\", and different frequency ranges have distinct advantages and disadvantages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VHF (Very High Frequency) systems are usually more affordable, but they can be susceptible to interference as they run on the same channels as walkie-talkies and TV channels.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UHF (Ultra High Frequency) systems offer more channels dedicated to wireless microphones. They also have better signal stability, making them popular on pro-level setups.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.4GHz systems are licence-free as they\u2019re on the Wi-Fi channel, so they can sometimes come up against interference with other wireless devices, but they have a longer range than UHF systems. However, 5.8 GHz band systems need a licence, so they're often less crowded, but they provide a faster speed at a shorter range.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Condenser vs. dynamic mics<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Condenser microphones are more sensitive and offer a broader frequency response, making them better for capturing detailed vocal performances, which is why they\u2019re predominantly used in studio and podcast situations. You can use them live, but you do need to consider the polar pattern when <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/can-you-use-a-condenser-mic-for-live-vocals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing one<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamic microphones such as the SM58 are considered the more \u201crugged\u201d mic as they're less sensitive to high sound pressure levels like screaming vocals, making them ideal for loud instruments and bands that like to swing, throw, or accidentally drop their mic!<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polar patterns<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The polar pattern of a microphone refers to the direction of its sound pickup. Omnidirectional microphones capture sound from all directions, while unidirectional microphones, such as cardioid or supercardioid, are more focused and reject sounds from other directions. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing the right polar pattern for onstage sound, you should always go for a cardioid or supercardioid option as it will not only isolate your vocals far better but also make the sound engineer\u2019s life a lot easier as they won\u2019t pick up unwanted noise or sound bleed from the other instruments onstage. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardioid and supercardioid mics also help reduce feedback onstage as they don\u2019t pick up the sound from your monitor speakers.

They also rely on companding which will likely colour your tone and never give you an accurate representation of your sound. Analog wireless systems can also be heavily affected by interference from other radio waves - this is why you never really see them anymore.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital systems skip the compander altogether as they just convert the signal from analog to digital (you'll notice AD\/DA converters in some specs) and maintain a better sound quality overall as it\u2019s sent across the 2.4GHz bandwidth (similar to Wi-Fi) and back.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy a digital system of high quality, your tone is exactly how it should be. They\u2019re also less likely to suffer from interference because the signal is transferred digitally.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware that cheaper wireless systems can sometimes have a latency issue, so always check the latency scores! Fortunately, none on this list suffer from latency problems.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companding in the context of wireless guitar and microphone systems<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companding is a process that compresses the audio signal at the transmitter before sending it out across the radio waves, expanding it at the receiver. This was originally designed to reduce noise and improve the quality of sound, which was fine back in the early days of wireless systems. In fact, AC\/DC\u2019s wireless system resulted in a tonal change and signature sound <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if a signal is companded using an analog wireless system, it won\u2019t sound exactly how it was intended, resulting in a change of tone - usually a bad one.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital systems don\u2019t use companding but opt for AD\/DA conversion instead, resulting in more natural sound reproduction, which is why it\u2019s rare to see an analog system these days.<\/span><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26471 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/05\/Shure-GLXD16-Wireless-Guitar-System.jpg\" alt=\"Shure GLXD16+ Wireless Guitar System\" width=\"1330\" height=\"665\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs<\/span><\/h3><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What wireless guitar system do the pros use?<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional guitarists use industry-standard wireless systems such as the Shure GLXD16+ Digital Wireless Guitar System, Boss WL-60 Wireless Guitar System, and Line 6 Relay G10S MKII Guitar Wireless System.

However, if you're going to play on a TV station or radio show, you may want to consider wired or 5.8 GHz as you may experience dropouts or signal interference from other devices. As always, choose the highest-quality wireless system you can afford from the likes of Shure, Boss, Line-6, or Sennheiser and the chance of you running into problems is almost zero!<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final thoughts<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the <strong>best wireless systems for festivals<\/strong>, you need to consider range, reliability, and frequency quality.
