2999.0. "Shure Wireless/Music Stores in DC and Orlando" by INMCC::MUELLER (Chris, Germany's answer to R&R ...) Tue Nov 15 1994 07:58

Hi folks,

going straight towards Xmas I am looking for two wireless guitar-systems. I've
seen one of Shure in Orlando beginning of this year, and it was only about $250.
Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the store, so I can order it there.
I've bought it for a friend that time so I'm pretty sure about that low price.

Ok, the questions:

- If you'd recommend a wireless guitar system, what's your opinion about the
  shure (in comparission with others). Prices ???

- About the stores I don't remember. The one in Orlando is called something like
  "MUSICLAND". If you come from Orlando (I4 I think) it is on the right of the
  Interstate (direction Disney/Universal). If someone could give me the phone-
  or Fax-Number it would be of help.

  Another store I remember is in Washington DC. It's a huge one and I think it
  is called "Washington Music Center". Don't have their business cards either.

  Last but not least Sam Ash. I haven't been there, but there are a lot of guys
  in this conference talking about it. Want to contact them for a catalogue.

Thanks a lot

    Well...
    
    i think the thing you want to keep in mind is the features. The biggest
    gap in price between the lower priced units (<$300) and the higher
    priced units is in the transmitters. The higher priced units frequently
    have a feature known as "true divirsity". Basically, this means that
    the transmitter works on several frequencies simultaneously, and the
    combined results are used as a type of RF "noise reduction." True
    divirsity systems are much less prone to interference from other
    sources (including other wireless systems.)
    
    In my opinion, within each price range, the various products tend to be
    the same. Some people claim to be able to hear sonic differences. Such
    sonic differences tend to impress/distress different people in
    different ways, so I think the only solution, once you decide on a basic
    feature set you want, is to try them out and see which one you prefer.

    OK, who's using Markey's account to create rumors???  I'm sure he knows
    that "true diversity" technology relies on multiple receivers, not
    multiple transmission frequencies as this impostor claims.
    
    Don't we have a note in here on wireless systems?  The base noter might
    want to read through these, and then consider whether the frequencies
    used are available (and legal) in his location.
