    Re: Relay G50 signal dropout

    Far from any sort of "love", ...I'm neither affilliated with, nor do I have any particular loyalty to, Line 6 or any other manufacturer.

     

    (Click on my pink avatar at left for more details of my background.)

     

    It's my ongoing worldwide experience, however, that gives rise to my firm belief that any other manufacturers' wireless beltpack systems of comparable ruggedness and reliability cost between two and five times as much (Aargh !) as Line 6's XD-V and Relay, ...but only very few approach the versatility and sonic excellence of those Line 6 systems.

     

    Hence MY decision to "gamble" by importing my fairly large inventory of Line 6 systems, in spite of the abysmal local support then being offered by Line 6's local represenatives here "at the end of the Earth", "Terra Australis Incognita".

     

    After more than a year on the road, that "gamble" has revealed itself to have been a true "winning ticket".

     

    I don't believe you should have any concerns about the TA4 connections to Line 6 beltpack's as I've yet to suffer an intermittency or failure, even though I regularly depend on a variety of them.

     

    It's nevertheless my policy to always carry spares, but (thankfully) they're not expensive items.    

     

    Here are links to just one of the European firms that supply them:

    Re: Relay G50 signal dropout

    I disagree.  I'm using a digital wireless by another manufacturer that cost the same as the G50 and sounds every bit as good.  It's great that you've had good luck, but most of the people in this thread haven't, and it really doesn't matter what a product costs if it doesn't work.  They could sell G50s for $1.99 and I wouldn't use one based on the performance I got out of them.  In fact, you couldn't pay me to use one.

    I'm always thankful of the opportunity to learn...

     

    Can you provide details of the system that you prefer ?

     

    (I'd love to try it.)

    Re: Relay G50 signal dropout

    What do you think Ron, will line6 answer my questions?

     

    quote

    I would like to hear from line6 what they have done, or plan to do, on the issue of the connection between the cable and the transmitter unit, which apparently gives a lot of people headaches. 

    And, while at it, maybe they can explain the choice for such cable, in stead of using a more standard connection.

    Excuse the Aussie vernacular, Folks...

     

    But I would bloody well hope so, mate ! 

     

    In common with many manufacturers, they've clearly had a quality-control problem with a run of G50s and sundry problems with some overseas representatives, but I'm very much hoping that their lack of response to your query is just an atypical oversight.

     

    It's certainly out of character with both the very existence of this forum as well as with the generally excellent and innovative nature of their products.
