Xvive U2 Silver Wireless Guitar System

Excellent service provided by Bax Music; From placing the order to receipt of goods took less than 24 hours, even though the item came from the Netherlands via Germany to the UK!

 

I have delayed writing a review until now, as whilst the quality of the sound was excellent there was an unwanted interfering tone of about 600Hz which varied in amplitude as I moved around or changed the angle of the Xvive U2 transmitter that was plugged directly into a C-ducer contact microphone system belt-pack control box. 



In fairness, Xvive state on their website that “Active pickups and pickups with microphones are not supported”. 



I have now however resolved the issue by assembling a short length of screened audio cable with a plug and socket which I insert between the Xvive U2 and the C-ducer belt-pack to ensure that the two active devices are not adjacent and in direct contact.  With this physical separation the Xvive U2 now works perfectly without any interference!



During my investigations I contacted Xvive in China via email and received a prompt reply to my enquiry; Again another excellent service!

Received on time from The Netherlands. The system was purchased for use with semi-acoustic ukeleles fitted with passive under-saddle piezo pickups. The units work perfectly over a ten metre range (the maximum that I have tried or would want) though I am not moving around relative to the amplifier. As a bonus, their use cured an earth-leak hum when a pedal board was used on the system. Neat and unobtrusive I would certainly recommend them - though their four channel frequencies limit the number of players who could use them when playing together.
