XVive U4 Monitor Wireless System

Very good system, and the sound is excellent. As with any system like these, you need good headphones to get the full value.

We use 4 of these, and there is no problem. However, we did have to re scan all our wireless guitar systems.

My only complaint is unlike conventional systems, you cant change batteries. So if mid gig the battery goes, you will have to recharge the system.

Also, would be useful if the system switched itself off if not used for a certain amount of time (I keep forgetting to turn it off....)

The transmitter is also a little bulky. If you are using the Soundcraft UI mixer type, they will not fit side by side....you have to use XLR from mixer, and then plug in the transmitter. (Luckily there are 8 monitor feeds on the UI24, so we just skip every 2nd input)

Overall, its a good system...8/10

This has only been tested at home so far, so this review will likely be updated at some point once the U4 IEM has been gigged and aspects like performance & interference in a crowded 2.4gHz environment, and battery life can be tested.

Operation is about as complicated as pouring a glass of water. Could not be more intuitive or simple. Sound quality with fairly standard mid-price range earbuds is very acceptable. It will doubtless be even better with more expensive buds.

The transmitter is a little bit chunky, so I do not know yet whether it will interfere with neighbouring XLR's or XVive U4 transmitters. I purchased a LyxPro XLR 'elbow' (Amazon USA) to counter this potential issue.
