WIRELESS TRANSMITTERS EXPLAINED

Dan Veall closes this issue with a guide to how to unplug and play

Welcome back! It’s time to turn our attention to the beginning of our signal path and resolve the long-standing debate—wireless or no wireless?

Why use wireless anyway? Cable not good enough for you, Veall?

Well, the magic of being unleashed from an amplifier— sending your sound through the airwaves and leaving you free to prance about the stage—is hard to beat. No cables, yours or anyone else’s, to get tangled up with; no standing on your cable and pulling it out of your bass, pedals, or amp—and of course, there’s nothing like that age-old cliché of going for a little jaunt out into the audience to take in the atmosphere a bit more. Wireless does come with downsides, though, and I’m here to talk about just a handful of those.

Wow, we didn’t see that coming. Go on then.
