Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8GHz Instrument

I have used this wireless unit for some time after breaking my previous 'market leading' unit. This is much cheaper but feels more robust and works well. It has on-off switches on the receiver and the sender and the units automatically synchronise to one of four channels, though the user can change these if wished.

The design works well with different guitar jack sockets from Strat type to strap button to side sockets. The only slight criticism is that the folding mechanism could be stiffer to allow the unit to stay as set by the user. Nevertheless, it doesn't have to stick out from the guitar thus protecting it from the type of accident that befell my previous unit.

I have had no trouble with quality of sound or dropout with the unit. I have not tried it with my keyboard, but I understand that if I needed it that it would work with that as well. I have not tested the range.

In conclusion- well made and well priced- if you need wireless connection between your instrument and your amp this is all you need.

Well, it does the job done at least in my living room.

So far not only I have experiences zero interferences, glitches, drops etc. but these have almost identical sound with my favorite low capacitance Cordial and Sommer cables. Oh, and my ears agree with the null test I performed (because my ears may lie, but frequency diagrams don't).

I can't test the range at home and the same goes for the battery life, since I regularly charge them after finishing playing.

By the way, the router (dual band, 2.4/5Ghz) is sitting bout 4 meters away, no problems so far.

The only issue I found is that the Receiver does not shut down after 30 minutes as advertised even with the Transmitter switched off. In fact after 10-20 minutes a get periodic pops on my speakers. Not a dealbreaker for me since I usually switch off both of them when I am done.,

For 50 euros, it's a steal.
