Fun Generation AirZone 5.8Ghz Instrument Reviews

Good for the price

Good construction. It works very well, no problem at all. Only con is the battery life.not what the specs are saying...

AirZone 5.8Ghz

Used in home environment only, although I do have many Wireless Devices over a Mesh system I have had no issues with connection or latency (Would always recommend 5.8 over the 2.4 models)

Just get one even if you (think you) don't need it!

I needed a wireless solution for my guitar but didn't have the budget to go for the big brands. After some research and ended up getting this little thing in 5,8 ghz. So glad I did. It got me through a European tour with my band and many other gigs as well. That is at least 30, in different venues, from small gigs to big stages. I always had a cable ready but never needed it. NO DROPOUTS, NO LATENCY, NO TONE DEGRADATION at least compering to the big brands intermediate UHF wireless gear (which is around 350€). Heck, I could always do a line check from any backstage, no problem with distance from my pedalboard. I just love it. Also very simple and efficient to use. Just plug and play. It may feel a bit plasticky and cheap (which it is) but I don't believe other brands offer anything better in sound and reliability at 5-6 times the price of this. Just get one in 5.8 ghz and you won't regret it!

It works with Active pickups without any problem!

I am very satisfied with the wireless transmitters. I have to say that honestly haven't tried more than 2 to 3 meters away from my bass amp head. One thing they do not recommend is to use it with active pickups. I have been using them without any issues for 3 months now.

Very good

First i use wirelees cable. I have for for almost a week. First impressions are 1. No latency 2. No change of sound ( i used it at home at low-middle volume , when i gig ill come back for more details) 3. Extremely easy to use 4. Duration is at least 4.30 - 5 hours so its suitable for a live gig.

Aesthetiucally looking and functional

I've purchased more than 100 of digital wireless systems for guitars and this instrument by Fun Generation AirZone has far better sound quality and lonngevity. It looks sleek in it's design and look sprofessional.

Great for the price

Had this unit for about a month and no problems.

The only thing I don't like is the plastic power switch. Doesn't seem rugged.

I haven't gigged with it, only band practice and had no problems.

In conclusion, it does the job.

Tuner

Easy to use and really user friendly

Sound level signal to a minimum

No matter how many times i tried to pair it - the volume is about 2% of a cable volume.

Probably a defect item which i have to return... just keep the original packaging for easy return, FYI.

Cut the bass guitar fullness and bass kick.

The Fun Generation AirZone 5.8GHz Instrument transmitter disappoints with its sound quality, particularly when used with a bass guitar. During rehearsals, the bass seems to get lost amidst the overall noise (guitar, drums), and the transmitter appears to cut off lower frequencies, resulting in a glassy and thin bass tone lacking the expected depth and punch. It fails to deliver the necessary bass lows, body, and kick for a satisfying performance. By cable, it sounds as it should be. The bass amp Fender Rumble 500, bass guitar HB JB-62 SB. Will return it or resell it to my guitar player mate.

Finally good pre-amp plus connection

I hesitated quite long before buying this for my electric voilin. Should have done it earlier. Previously I played with a battery-powered pre-amp plus a good instrument cable. Now I have the perfect replacement for both. The sender amplifies the (weak) incoming signal from the violin automatically to the right level, and for the rest the sound is perfectly preserved.

I played in a lot of live situations, and never had any connection conflict with other wireless units or WIFI routers.

Good quality

The instrument works well, good value for money

Good way to try wireless

System gets connection immediately, Wi-Fi does not interrupt. No influence on the tone. Good range, but after 10m away you can feel latency. When you are close to reciever there's totally no issues. Battery life ís more than enough for even long practice. Of you never tried wireless before, try this one.

Too much loss of volume

It works. Low noise but signal is 1/10 of cable signal. I have to boost everything up to get it work which will mess up my setup with cable. I tried 3 different guitars and straight to amp, through pedal board and through prime p1.

Not for serious giggers

Works perfectly fine...in your bedroom. After a single gig, here are the cons...

1. Battery life is NOT 8 hours as advertised. Closer to 3/4 hours. I did leave it fully charged but unused for a week though.

2. Apprx 5 mins of low battery warning is too less to be really practical.

3. Smallest of obstructions caused signal drop. In my case, it was some tables/desks that didnt even have the lower part fully covered.

4. Usable distance is around 35 metres as advertised (I wish this advertisement was being on the safe side).

Most appropriate use of this gadget would be in practice or on a stage which one is already familiar with. Its ergonomic, looks good, dual charging cable is a plus, no signal interference (5.8 ghz helps), and most importantly there is no noticeable latency or tone change.

Very Impressive

I bought these as a spare set in case my Mooer set went flat during a gig. I have used them in rehearsal with no problems. I am primarily a bass guitarist, but have used them for 6 strings too. Having the channel display on both transmitter and receiver is really nice, and they pair really quickly, and so far reliably. The rotating plug is firm enough and the transmitter stays at the angle it is set to in the guitar jack socket. They are clearly made down to a price, but they work and don't feel as low cost as they are. I may update this review as time goes by and I use them more, but at the moment I have no complaints. I am tempted to get a second set.

A word of caution - the transmitter cannot be used with an Ibanez Bass, the reach between the body is insufficient.

superb!

received, everything is nicely packaged, everything works perfectly, I am satisfied, thanks!
