How the System Works
"...sounds simply amazing!"
Michael "Whip" Wilton | In the new XDT4 transmitter, the audio signal is digitized upon input without the use of companders or signal ‘processing’, which makes it possible to achieve full frequency response (10Hz – 20KHz) and dynamic range of 118dB with ultra-low distortion (.03% THD).
Also taking place in the transmitter is the initial stage
of the new Q-DiversityPLUS (anti-jam) technology. A proprietary digital data stream that includes a digital representation of the audio signal is modulated on two separate RF carrier frequencies via its’ internal antenna; thus the system operates with frequency diversity.
In the new XDR4 receiver, the final stage of the new
Q-DiversityPLUS (anti-jam) technology is
employed. The unit contains a quadraplex of
separate receiver sections that work simultaneously
to receive the two RF signals. Two receiver sections
are directly connected to two internal antennae,
while two others are fed RF signals via two chassis
mounted BNC connectors, thus allowing the user a
variety of options when establishing custom
deployment of the system. These sections work
simultaneously to receive the two RF signals that
contain the transmitted digital data. The system only
recognizes digital data that originates from the XDT4
transmitter thus locking out all other sources of RF
interference.
A micro-processor compiles and confirms data
quality prior to sending it out for high-quality D/A
conversion and connection to the users’ audio
system. |
Two detachable 1/2 wave antennae are included with
the system and when connected, a 300 foot line-of-sight
performance range is established.
How the System Connects to your Gear
The receiver is fitted with the following output
connections: balanced XLR, and un-balanced 1/4 inch
TRS and can be utilized simultaneously. The latter is
configured to provide instrument output on the tip
and full-bandwidth on the ring. The XLR balanced
connector provides full-bandwidth output. This
assures the user an incredibly wide range of system
interface configurations including amplifiers, mixers,
recording devices, effects units (including pedals),
tuner units, and more.
X2’s Users Group & Testimonials
Hershel Yatovitz
Hershel Yatovitz, lead guitarist with Chris Issak and Silvertone, chooses X2 as a vital element to his signature sound and says, If you're as crazy about tone as I am, X2 is the ONLY truly great sounding wireless in the world. Nothing else comes remotely close.
Kenya Baker
Kenya Baker, guitarist with Joss Stone says, I like the fact that the X2 digital wireless is very clear. I was using other cordless systems and I would get interference and static. With the X2, I don’t have any of that - it just sounds really clear - with no sound loss.
Premier Guitar
Premier Guitar magazine says, This is wireless the way it should be. It's about keeping your tone pristine.
MusicPlayers.com
MusicPlayers.com, says, With our eyes closed, we would have had no idea that we were connected wirelessly. (X2) is an excellent value for a wireless system offering uncompromising sound quality.
Neil Zaza
Neil Zaza says, My jaw hit the ground upon plugging in my X2 and hearing the pure, unadulterated, punchy tone with my guitar connected to my amp through the X2! There is absolutely zero noise floor with the X2 and my tone is as pure, or more pure, than with a cable. Seriously, this is not only the best wireless on the market, but one of the best performance tools around. You won't see me with any other wireless ever again!
Guitar World
Guitar World magazine bestowed it's coveted Gold Award for the XD Series and says, (with the X2) the guitar really came to life, to the point where I didn’t want to go back to the cable.
Michael Wilton
Michael Wilton, guitarist with Queensryche, adds, The X2 digital wireless sounds simply amazing! I will use this on all future Queensryche Tours!
Ladd Smith
Ladd Smith, this year's winner of Guitar Player's Guitar Hero contest relied on the X2 during his winning performance and says, I was amazed by the X2 and how it sounds like a 3 foot cable!
Zack Fowler
Zack Fowler, bassist of the James Douglas Show says, After using the X2 on tour for the past month, I can honestly say that this is the best wireless unit I have ever used BY FAR. After plugging it in and jamming on it for a few minutes, even the guys in the band IMMEDIATELY noticed the difference in tone and how clean and clear it was. I've even considered using the XDR95 in the studio to record the upcoming album because it actually sounds BETTER than a cable run to my amp or direct box! The XDR95 system has made a HUGE difference in my playing and I can't imagine there being a better wireless system on the market!
Peter Thorn
Peter Thorn, lead guitarist with Chris Cornell, relies on X2 to deliver his sound and says, From Iceland to Finland, Istanbul to NYC, and everywhere in between, I've used the X2 system and it's always performed flawlessly! I don't even give it a second thought - it just sounds perfect, every night.
Stu Cook
Stu Cook, bassist with Creedance Clearwater Revival, is convinced and says, I still reach for the guitar cord, but it's not there. My X2 is A-1.
Brendan Ekstrom
Brendan Ekstrom, lead guitarist with Circa Survive, calls the X2 and invaluable tool saying, The X2 is the best thing to happen to our live shows in a long time. The day I plugged in the X2 my tone actually sounded better and cleaner than it did when I was using a cable.
Robert Schwartzman
Robert Schwartzman, guitarist and vocals with Gefen Record’s, Rooney, says, I think the X2 is great - I am really loving it! I hate having a cable wrap around my feet and tripping over it. What's great about the X2 is that it hasn't affected my tone and I haven't had any dropouts. When it comes to the X2, all I can say is that I love it!
Vernon Reid
Vernon Reid, guitarist with Masque and Living Colour, digs in with his X2 and says, A lot of times I also use a 13 pin midi connection in addition to the wireless. For straight audio compared to the other wireless units, I find the X2 to be much better. Sometimes I even use the X2 between components of my rack. The two biggest things for me is that the X2 is so clean and extraordinarily compact for a true professional wireless. That makes the X2 a killer unit!
Elliott Janz
Elliott Janz, 16 year old solo guitarist and Dick Dale protege says, The X2 wireless system is one of the most advanced guitar wireless units on the market! The sound quality is simply amazing! I never thought I could get this sound through a wireless unit! Thank you X2 for making such an amazing product! I will continue to use it forever!

| Very good | | Features:
| I like everything about this unit. Once plugged in sound and response is AWSOME. I found no difference from being plugged direct into the amp. No delay in sound, very strong signal and no drop out. | | Ease of Use:
| very easy. it took me about 15 minutes from the time I took it out of the box and assembled it to be rack ready. if your using to set up on top your amp and not as a rack mount unit I could have put a battery in the unit and started jamming in less then one 5 minutes. | | Sound:
| Great tone | | Value:
| Great value. It's alittle more expensive then some units BUT you get what you pay for here. Simply the best wireless under $500 bucks | | Do you own this product?:

| At first it does feel cheap, but it's made out of polycorbonate and it is very durable. I've dropped it a couple times from 10 feet high and has never been broken. I have used it constantly for the past year and has always been there gig after gig | | Features:
| The only thing it's missing in my opinion is another channel, but I dont need it for bass, but it does what it's supposed to do | | Ease of Use:
| I'm a musician that likes to keep it simple on his rig and I love the simplicity of the XDR95. Plug N' Play and you're ready to go. | | Sound:
| Crystal Clear! It sounds just like my mogami or lava cables. | | Do you own this product?:

| | | Subject: | Perfect price for this unit finally | | Quality:
| It comes without the rack ears attached and the rack unit is made of plastic. Be careful screwing in the ears, one of my screws broke off with very little torque but there isn't enough of the screw left to get it back out.
This is also my second unit as the first failed after about 2 weeks. Made a horrible distortion-pedal-like noise when I fired it up. Line-6's customer service was prompt and on-task and it only took 2 weeks to get a new one back in my hands.
The new one has worked fine. | | Features:
| Not much to talk about here. The battery meter is really handy to get the full life out of each without risking a 'black out'. I also have an XDS system with the XDT1 transmitter. I get about 2 more hours with that transmitter, and it works with this reciever (sans battery meter). | | Ease of Use:
| Very easy. | | Sound:
| Its like a cable if you use the 1/4", its miles better when you use the XLR. | | Do you own this product?:

| | | Subject: | Fabulous sound, built like a tank, 2 years of flawless performance | | Quality:
| I've had my stomp box unit for about two years and the ABS plastic casing has held up just as well as metal would have. I don't understand all these complaints about the plastic; it's the same plastic football helmets are made of. Would you want a metal football helmet? I've gigged extensively with this using only minimal care and it's been fine. Stop worrying over nothing. | | Features:
| Ease of use, lots of bars for signal strength and battery life. The battery lasts forever in the transmitter. I gigged the whole summer and replace the 9v battery ONCE. One poster says this thing eats batteries... only in the receiver. You need to get the 120v wall adapter for the receiver. | | Ease of Use:
| You hit the power on the receiver and the transmitter and make sure you are on the same channel and that's it! No searching for clean UHF channels, no drop outs. | | Sound:
| There is no audible difference between this and a cable. Unlike non-digital gutiar wireless units, there is no static. You either get the whole signal or you get nothing. However, you REALLY have to walk far away to get a drop out. I have yet to find a stage where this unit couldn't cover the whole thing. | | Do you own this product?:

| | | Subject: | Battery Eater! | | Quality:
| Was excited to get this thing, but after a few times of using it the battery was already dead! I probably get in about 5 or 6 practices/shows maximum before having to change the battery...and I'm talking 45 min to a hour set.
Have had the unit for about 6 months and the transmitter already broke. Just stopped working one day. Checked the battery, checked the cord, checked all connections. Just sent in for warranty repair/exchange. Plan to sell once returned. As far as music gear is concerned...worst investment of my life. For the money, wish i would have went with a more reputable brand. | | Features:
| Considering the fact that it eats batteries....it is very convenient that they have a led display unit to show you just how fast it is eating them. A rechargeable body pack transmitter would definitely serve the x2 justice. Maybe a solar panel guitar strap....possibly a windmill to hook to the roof of the venue you're playing at? Anything to offset the cost you'll be spending on batteries every week. | | Ease of Use:
| How hard can it be? Plug & Play. | | Sound:
| I honestly can say that i didn't notice any difference what so ever in tone compared to an Audio Technica unit i was using that cost half as much as this one. Granted, this is a step up from the previous unit, but definitely not worth the money. Even considering the recent price drop....do yourself a favor go with a higher end more reputable brand.
