Guitar effects designer Xvive has made its first foray into guitar wireless systems and acoustic guitar technology.
The firm’s U2 Wireless Guitar System (£119 UK RRP) features a rechargeable lithium battery with life of 4/5 hours at full charge. It has two simple and small 1/4” jack connectors that act as transmitter and receiver and can also connect via Bluetooth to your other devices, using 24bit resolution to capture sound in realtime – uncompressed, natural, clean tone with no delay – at a range of up to 300ft/90m.
The Mike Compact pedal (£99.99 UK RRP) is aimed at electro-acoustic guitarists and uses Spectral Reassignment Technology to faithfully reproduced the ‘spatial’ or ‘room’ sound of a number of classic and benchmark electro acoustic guitar tones.
“If you put your ear where the guitars direct output is picked up, its no surprise the sound quality is poor.” explained designer Steve Turnidge. “It comes from inside the body of the guitar, and not the room where the actual sound of the guitar should be heard – spectral reassignment and MIKE fix that problem.”
Both are available from UK distributor JHS.
