Really depends on what one is looking for. Lots of options these days that offer more flexibility, and investment-wise getting ncie gear with cables offers something that can be expanded for other applications. That said, I guess if mobility is needed the wireless aspect is attractive.
Thank you for you review. This was detailed and you demonstrated the usage sufficently well to convince me that this is precisely what I need for my classical guitar gigs, having already given the unit some attention on other reviews (yours is the best). The next step is to try one in store myself. I have a Roland RC-33 too - great little units. Star-Trek reference = Full Points LOL, Todah and Shalom 🙏🖖
Sounds good, usable for live performance. Two remarks. I did notice the noise which seems too much for me. I saw reviews of similar products and they all don't include a cable (usb or other). I don't understand why, technically is perfectly possible to add that option. It would widen the possibilities of the system, and after all, a cable remains the best medium to transfer the signal to the amp.
I would certainly be curious to try it with a cable option. Yes, the noise is a concern, I'll need to try it in some different environments to see what happens.
Yes, Condenser Microphone is a must. But is this product a good microphone, a stereo microphone, or can we change microphone? I still use microphone stand in front of guitar. I get rid of the annoying cables by using wireless transceiver, e.g. rode wireless go. The system allows me to usemy preferred microphones. I put the transmitter on microphone stand, therefore, there is no danglinf cables. The receiver can be anywhere.
Sounds like you already have a good setup. I mean, this product is specific in its intention, obviously not as flexible as a setup like you have. I think it’s for people playing with a strap or specifically wanting a minimal device.
So, my amp has an XLR plug for a mic so I used that. I tried using my 1/4 adapter but it didn't work for me, not sure why as it doesn't need phantom power or anything. I'm so low tech though so it's probably just me. I recommend contacting the company and asking them to be sure about this question.
I use two mics about 3 feet away above my music stand out of necessity. My usual mics are Neumann Km 184 Microphones with a UAD Apollo interface (which I am replacing out of frustration).
@@Thisisclassicalguitar Your videos and audio are always clear. Recording equipment is so much better now than just a few years ago. I watch Herve Castre's classical guitar videos a lot. I commented to him on one of his videos and asked what equipment he used to record it, since it looked and sounded fantastic. To my surprise, he said the whole thing was shot with just an iPhone.
Ya I know, it's gotten much easier. I highly recommend the Audio-Technica AT2020 USB mic. I use it for chatting and online lessons. Just plugs into your computer, no setup or installs. It’s actually an amazing mic, even for recording yourself. I highly recommend it, great to have around.
I tired the ISOLO last year. Honestly, it was terrible and I had a bad experience with them. I have the audio technica version of that mic. It’s not wireless, but it works good in solo situations. I really would like a wireless mic that goes in the sound hole kind of like the ISOLO but that actually works with one of those sound hole feedback busters. I play in loud situations.
Actually, since I play sitting down in the classical position, I don't really need wireless to be honest. I mean, I guess it's nice but the quality matters most to me. Acoustic guitarists though playing with a strap is a different story.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar I play sitting as well. What I want is a wireless sound hole mic where I can cover it with a sound hole cover to mitigate the feedback and the noise from the piano and other instruments I’m sitting by. I haven’t found a solution yet, still looking.
Thanks for watching! Here is the link to my full review: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/xvive-u8/
Excellent review in all respects.
wow looks very practical and easy to use. the fact that its wireless really makes it attractive to try

In your opinion, which would you use Savarez 540R Alliance Normal Tension or D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte Normal Tension?

Did you need an xlr to 1/4 inch adapter to plug it into your amp?

What is the price of this unit?
When you make lesson recordings that you post here, what if your setup for both your voice and guitar?
I use two mics about 3 feet away above my music stand out of necessity. My usual mics are Neumann Km 184 Microphones with a UAD Apollo interface (which I am replacing out of frustration).

Kind of a loud noise floor
Ya, I was a bit surprised but maybe it was in part my room. I’ll have to try it out in multiple environments.
