Dude you really got the best vids on all this stuff. Your style= Real-world, no-nonsense…to the point. Thanks🤙🏽
Thanks man, I appreciate that! 🤘
Hi Scott great review I have purchased the Lekato system following your review used them last week at a gig worked very well thank you
Nice! Glad to hear that. Enjoy the wireless 🤘
this is a fantastic product , i have used it in 4 different venues with 4 different sized rooms , and the result was absolutley no probs whatsoever, i put it through my dynacord cm 600, and beleieve me it was just excellent, this was for vocals.
Yeah, this thing really is awesome! 🤘
For the money, pretty good investment. I had to turn up the gain on the mic when using these. I can hear the powered up hum from the monitors as opposed to when I have the mic cable in. That’s plugging these in directly to the monitors. Coming from a mixer I was able to adjust the gain so it didn’t sound like the monitors were about to explode when the vocals came in.
Thanks for the review! This was really helpful. I'm thinking of getting this since I'm sick of tripping over wires.
This one still works great and I use it a lot!
Great vid, helped me make up my mind, much thanks. I didn't use your link to buy, I'm in the uk, but saved £25 getting it new on eBay, £79 (GBP, inc tax). Best wishes.
Just got this a couple of days ago as a fourth microphone for this lecture panel coming up with 10 inputs with 4 wireless and the rest wired. Been testing it at home to see set up and range, also charge life. So far it sounds and works really good. $102 is an amazing price vs $600 for a decent Shure or Sennheiser wireless. But the proof will be in the pudding coming up. Thanks for the reminder to have a cable and mic backup which I will hide upstage of the panel seating and covered.
This thing has been rock solid. I would not recommend using 4 of these all at once since it only has 4 channels, so if one channel is taking that means you have no backups. But using 1-2 of these has been extremely solid over the years.
Used it few nights ago for couple hours (as a guest singer ) Great idea if you don’t want to carry your own wireless mic system with you. Works very good, looks that it performs better with my10 years old Shure 58 beta A,than with a brand new EV 86 !!! I am a professional nightclub singer (40 years) and when it comes to mic’s I try almost everything here (USA) and in Europe. Great idea for certain situations!!! Great review keep up with the great work!!!
Yeah man, especially for this price, it's a really solid deal!
Appreciate the video and information!
Thanks 😊
So looking nice and great quality is the best thing to look for
This thing is really cool for sure, and I’m glad I got it 🤘
Nice review. I got the Lekato about 2 months ago and have used it at least 7 gigs. It has worked consistently without any problems. I also got an Ammoon wireless system for my instruments at the same time. Both work together well with no conflicts. They both charge quickly and I've used them for 3 to 4 hours without any issues.
Great tips and infos! Thanks!!!
🤘👍
I managed to pick out the differences between the wired and wireless clips. I could hear a little additional hiss and rolling off of some of the highs as well but the Lekato sounded much better than I was expecting. I was also listening to these examples in my studio on Neumann monitors. I can buy these in the UK for around £69!
Yup, “does it sound good/useable” is the best way to do a tone analysis. Even if it DOES have a tiny bit of tone loss (I don’t think it does), will it matter in the grand scheme of things? No one is listening to a concert listening to A/B a cable to a wireless. As long as it’s useable... that’s my philosophy. And this wireless absolutely does pass the test and I’ve used it multiple times 👍
Where from? Do you have a link
The solution to that is a Low-Pass filter in the range of 8K to 10K and it’s barely noticeable.
thaks for your reply to the p[ahantom power question . i will check out the sennheiser and see if it fits what i need (want) - russell holden
🤘🤘
Nice work as usual, Scott! I own four pairs, the only negative air that I can’t put two receivers next to each other on my board, TOO FAT! Great review!
The only negative IS, not air😜
@@joeltc1 Yeah, they do work really well! They are a TINY bit fat lol, but they do fit in my mixer really well actually. Glad you like them, cheers!
ADD a short xlr extension cable 👍🏻😀
@@bjarkenielsen8515 Yup! That's an easy fix :)
I use these in conjunction with an ART HP-1 as my in ear system. The only problem with it is, the transmitter's sensitivity is for use with a microphone. The output of a mixer is much higher and will easily overdrive the transmitter's input. So I turn down the monitor channel output lower than if it was plugged into a floor monitor. Works just fine as an affordable IEM system.
Hey! Have you experienced signal loss or other things when being in front of an audience with all the cellphones and stuff?
Nice review, thank you!
Cannot tell the difference. I have the Shure wireless, and the only difference is volumn. but that is easy to remedy. Nice video. I like mine a lot.
One of the advantage of 5.8ghz is it penetrate obstacle like wall less easily... Which mean you get less interference from 5.8ghz system around you.
great vid. thanks. Can you use more of these units together. I.e 1 transmitter out of a mixer and 3, 4 or more for active speakers around a room
I wouldn’t do that many of these since these are cheaper and you only get 4 channels. That means all 4 channels need to be clear/available at every show. The RF environment is always different. You could do one or two of these, and then try one or two of these since they are on different frequencies; ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
But if you really want reliability for running to multiple speakers, this is the system I use: ruclips.net/video/VlFGn6AxgqA/видео.html
Actually just did this again recently at a show two nights ago. The cheap ones work well, but these are much more reliable if you are going to use multiple ones at once
Good Video - thanks for creating it #LikeThisVideo
Thanks 😊
Check whatever you're using for headphones. The noise from the wireless was clear and evident. You could easily tell which samples were wireless and which were wired.
It was not apparent to me when I was doing this video. However, I would argue that when you use it live, no one listens to the live concert with headphones on listening for the exact tiny details. I’ve used this live and there is no noticeable hiss that makes it not unusable. I stand by my review and continue to use this device live quite a bit actually, but that’s why I made this review so you can make your own decision 👍
Good review thanks. To me one of the cons is the blue light always ON, it doesn't look very nice and bring audience to be disturbed by it.
It is on, but it’s barely noticeable.
I was at the gig the other night and it was definetely noticeable. When I say disturbed I mean that you kinda keep watching it instead of the singer.
You are the WIFI GURU I got the lekato ws 70 because of your reviews.
NIce! And yeah, I'm quite obsessed with good wireless systems :) haha
Nice video. Just received mine. As I was watching the part with the ability to charge the receiver while plugged in, I was wondering why they didn't take advantage of the phantom power available on most mixers to keep it charged that way. A simple transformer to match voltage would be easy to incorporate into the circuitry.
Phantom power drains the batteries much faster. This one does have phantom power if you need it: ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
@@ScottUhlMusic I don’t mean phantom power to power a condenser microphone, I meant using the phantom power from the mixer to power the receiving unit you plug into the mixer. It would eliminate the need to plug it on the side, which is limiting in certain situations.
Ahhhhh gotcha. That would definitely be cool!
I bought this product. LEKATO 5.8GHz Wireless Microphone System Plug On XLR Transmitter Receiver 100FT
It works great 🤘
I really appreciate this review. This particular brand of wireless system has constantly been coming up on my Amazon page as a possible purchase. Wanted to purchase one just to try it out, but didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it if I didn't like it. I think I'll be picking up a few of them to use with my gigs. I'm trying to go as wireless as I possibly can. I saw someone use something like these with powered speakers. I may be trying that and see how it goes. Thanks.
That’s how I often use it. It’s a great system!
@@ScottUhlMusic AWESOME! I really appreciate it.
The wireless ones had more noise. I'm thinking about getting these to use with my Zoom Podtrak P8.
There’s a tiny bit of hiss when you listen with headphones. But live, you cannot tell. I use these all the time still
Thanks so much for the review, but wow! I hate saying it, but hose are truly awful. I could immediately hear the difference through my iPhone speakers while I was standing next to a loud refrigerator, and the bathroom fan going one room over.
Bummer, I was hoping they were decent.
Great work on the video, and keep the info flowing!
Reminds me of a cheap, 2000’s era, Azden wireless lavalier set I used for a cable access “run and gun”. Woof…
I honestly do not know how you had that experience unless you got a bad one. I use these CONSTANTLY. Used it 3 times over the weekend. Took it to the Bahamas for 2 weeks for my wife’s vocal mic. I’m taking it to a one off show in Dominican Republic coming up. This thing has been extremely useful for me and I still use it to this day
Interesting you note that you can charge the receiver while it’s running which is great but since I used mine from mixer to powered speaker I’d like to be able to charge the transmitter as well but that doesn’t work. I don’t know why they left it out just making a note.
Yeah that is interesting, because I would do the same thing
2-3 Wireless Using High end Head headphones you can hear hissing.
Surely if you connect this to preamp and PA, this is more noticeable.
I use this live for speakers/PA as well as for microphones. I don’t hear it. Either through the pa or in our in ears. It works great live 👍
Hey brother! Great vid. Was curious about one aspect I can't find about these. I send a right and left xlr from my mixer to both inputs of an EV50 and then send that signal from the mix out to one of the input channels of an EV50 on the other side of the stage. I want your opinion on the fact that I can go from one EV50 to another EV50? Trying to eliminate 30ft of xlr cable....Thnx!
I use that all the time with these actually 👍 I use the EV50 as well. Out of my mixer into one EV speaker, then mix out to the 2nd one. These would work great for it
Actually I bought it, tried it and sent it back. It really worked pretty easy and had no dropouts. BUT I tried several microphones while several gigs and with every microphone I had clipping when singing a bit louder, not shouting or screaming, only singing a bit louder. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the sensitivity of the transmitter, which would be great in order to eliminate clipping.
Interesting…. I’ve used this one at countless shows for mics and for pa and I never have that problem.
@@ScottUhlMusic I know, that’s why I finally baught it! :)
Well, maybe the one I got was a bad one but I’m hesitating ordering another one to find that out. Thinking about to go back to 2,4 GHz and get a Sennheiser XSW-D XLR set.
Thanks for your clear testing. Great!
It's very hopeful for my following Issue.....you said it will not run with phantom power. I do have a condenser mic (headset, AKG)...before I put it in my zoom fx pedal (as a vocal pedal)
it runs through a Xvive phantom power booster (12 and 48v). Do you think this Lekato wireless receiver will except the Xvive phantom power station?... that would be great. Great video anyhow😊
No, it will not. But thanks for watching!
Hi. Can you use these with the Lekato 5.8 guitar system without them interfering with each other? Thanks.
Yup you should be good. 👍 If you do end up getting problems, just make sure they are not right next to each other.
Very nice & comprehensive review 👍👍 But I have a question.. will this stuff works for wireless guitar (or other unbalanced instruments) transmission with a TS to XLR adapter?
Thanks! And you would want to get a wireless guitar system instead. I’ve reviewed many on the channel, and you can get a cheap one for $50
@@ScottUhlMusic What's the difference between wireless guitar system and wireless XLR system like this when it comes to unbalanced instrument transmission? I love the versatility of this wireless XLR as it can be used in many applications. But it will be a great advantage if this stuff also works to transmit guitar as well as dedicated wireless guitar system.. So I'd like to know
The same button you press to power up the mic (the device), can you press to power it off and how many seconds to press and power off ?
Yes, same button. And it only takes about a second or two to power up 🤘
Hi good video, can I ask how long does a charge last and secondly what is work order Neumann one 05 microphone which requires phantom power
This one provides phantom power: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo
ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
And I use these for 4 hour shows a lot and it works great. Even having it on during soundcheck and it works all night 👍
hello friend ... to charge it via usb, I simply connect it to a cell phone charger? does that help me ??
You can charge it with anything that accepts USB for charging, (like a cell phone charger) 👍
Is Lekato an actual brand or just a general name? For instance, is Joyo the same product?
Thanks millions for all your great info!
Lekato is a brand 👍 thanks for watching!
My amplifier do not have XLR input but mic input to XLR cable can I still connect it.
Your guitar amp has an xlr input? I’ve never heard of that. But this wireless replaces any xlr cable for a microphone or pa speaker or anything with xlr
puedo llevar este Producto en el avion?
Can they go from back of mixer output (not just a line out on top) to powered speakers and can they be charged same time plugged into mains to charge on reciever and sender. Also if using 2 like this left n right can you use a third for a mic and so i suppose you use a different channel for that.....any dropouts? by the way i correctly guessed so its just a bit quieter ....but hows the overall sound quality ? Does it really do 5 hours? wish there was a system that did 8 just to be on safe side cos batteries do degrade over time
Yup, and that's mostly how I use this actually... for a wireless PA. I use it sometimes for a wireless mic, but often times I use it for a wireless PA setup. It works great!
Is it also possible to connect headphones to the receiver and use it as in-ear-monitoring system ?
Yup, I made a video about how to do that here: ruclips.net/video/AoykGJRcPPw/видео.html It works pretty well 👍
Hey Scott, thanks for posting these videos on the lower cost wireless gear. I purchased the Lekato wireless XLR system and am finding I need to increase the input gain on the mixer to get similar levels as the same mic, wired. Did you experience this? I’m trying to determine if my unit is defective or if that’s just the way it is.
Yeah it’s a little quiet, but ultimately works great! Just used it today actually and it works really well!
It’s reassuring to find this is normal. I’ve only used it twice and am happy with its performance. On my Mackie mixer I have to use a short XLR cable to allow other mic cables to plug in to the adjacent channels. Thanks for responding!
Is there a line of sight requirement for this unit? If the PA speaker is around an interior corner from the mixer, or if there is a crowd of people visually between the mixer and speaker, do you get dropouts?
Line of sight is important for any wireless system, not just this one. You can get away with using wireless around a corner sometimes but not always. That’s true for any wireless
Hello! I have a couple of shure blx receivers that we use for headset mics. I was thinking about getting a couple shure sm58 wireless mics to go along with them. Do you think these would be just a good as using the blx system? Thank you!
BLX systems will have more channels to chose from. See my wireless buying guide here: ruclips.net/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/видео.html
I bought these because you used them from a PA to a powered speaker. I tried going from my DJ controller (+18 dBu) to a PA line in and it's peaking. If I went from my DJ controller (Denon Prime Go) to a powered speaker would it work?
I believe it should, but I honestly don’t know every setup. It works from my mixer to a speaker or a mic to my mixer. You can always try them and return them if you need to 👍
Will any dynamic mic work with this? Does the mic need to have its own batteries to work wirelessly with this? Any suggested mics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Any mic that doesn’t require phantom power, yes this will work. A mic should not need batteries. A good one to try with it is the standard Shure sm58 🤘
Any chance you know whether multiple pairs of these can work in parallel?
Most wireless do not allow you to send to multiple transmitters and receivers at once. But if you have one transmitter, and two receivers…. You set the receivers to the same channel… and then turn on and off the receivers as you need to, that would work 👍 but they cannot receive at the same time
Does this do phantom power for 48v? Gonna try to get it paired to my audio technica 897
No phantom power with this one
Hey man good video!
How are these treating you, if youre still using them at this point? Looks like they are the same as the set from Joyo (model number and everything), really thinking of picking one up since im finally getting back on stage soon and i think going wireless will be nice. Gonna check out your wireless In ear vid too since ive been wanting to look at setting up one of those as well
I still use these! It’s a great system for sure 🤘
And yes, the joyo looks exactly the same
@@ScottUhlMusic sweet I may have to keep an eye on it then.
Hi, Will it be working with a Senheiser e945 to connect to a Bluetooth mixer for playing karaoke tracks from my mobile while singing wirelessly using this adapter with my mic?
If it accepts xlr and doesn’t need phantom power, it will work. But it is NOT Bluetooth
@@ScottUhlMusic It does but, my question was that the mixer needs to accept Bluetooth sound from the phone and at the same time accept microphone signal using it’s XLR port with no need for phantom power. Will that be Ok?
A mixer should be able to accept 2 inputs, yes. One Bluetooth and one xlr
What if our sound engineer is using digital mixer with Apple Airport wifi router? It is right on the scene. And what if I am using this MW-1 very close to my mic, I mean that the receiver is connected to my xlr cable, which is lying just nearby my mic stand with the transmitter on mic? Will it help to avoid any problems?
I would avoid putting this right by a router… but I have done it and it’s been fine. It all just depends.
I'm using mainly for dj set up. 2 speakers most of the time. So l need 2 sets of this?
Are you using them to send to speaker? Then yes, you will need 2 sets of them… a pair for each speaker 👍
How can I plug the receiver into my guitar amp?
If your amp takes xlr you could use this. If not, you need 1/4” wireless (most amps would be 1/4”)
The tx is bigger than the sure logo. That means that u cant put em side by side in a mixing console.....atleast without 6 inch xlr extensions.....do they work while charging? If so hows the hum?
Depends on the console, I have before. But not on all of them. You can get a little 1ft xlr cable too
It feels like it would be too good to be true, but does it transmit a balanced signal, or just sums it up, transmits and reverses the polarity for one wire at the receiver end?
What I mean is: Could this potentially be used with the Behringer P2 like you've shown at the end of your video, but for stereo monitoring? Like using an Y adapter to put two signals at the transmitter end and putting P2 into unbalanced Stereo mode.
This is a mono xlr adapter 👍
Hi Scott, have you tried this cheap wireless system called, Aroma 5.8GHZ Wireless Microphone System ARC1?
I haven’t, looks similar to this one 👍
Could i get an xlr adapter to 3.5mm for my camera to record straight to my camera or would I need a recorder
That could work, you'll have to test the noise level when using the adapter, but it's worth a shot
This might sounds stupid but I am rehearsing with a Line6 Helix plugged into a mixer with an XLR cable. Do you think I could swap the cable with this device (Tx on the helix XLR out and Rx on the mixer input)? Thanks!
You can, yes 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks!
I guessed correctly. There's a slightly higher noise floor on the wireless. Dealbreaker? No. But it is audible.
Se le puede aumentar el volumen al aparato ??? Es que compre uno y suena muy poco
Not on the device, but whatever you are plugging into should have a way to up the gain
Hi Scott ,whats your set list and the most impact song you play ......you look like a pal of mine. chelsea ,london and i send owr warmest trgards to you . Al
I have my bands song list on our website at ninetypercent90s dot com, but I don’t sing most of those haha
Hey Scott. I tried out a Shure Beta87a and my voice sound a lot better with it :/ ... meaning ... i need a way to power it now. Any recommendations for phantom power xlr wireless gear?
Yup! ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
I definitely could hear the difference between wireless and cable, but I get how many would not.
Eh… this is why I personally dislike doing tone tests. Everyone is so focused on “I heard a slight difference with the tone” but in reality… did they sound useable? The answer is yes. That’s what matters the most.
Hi I was wondering if using this near a 5 G phone would cause interference.
Best practice is to keep it 6-10 feet away from Wi-Fi routers and anything on 5.8ghz. That is just best practice though… wireless can still work regardless
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for the quick response!
Hi! Have you ever experienced signal loss or interferences when using it in front of an audience with all the cellphones and stuff? Thanks!
Any wireless can cut out, especially the cheap stuff. This one has worked well about 98% of the time. But you have only 4 channels. I recommend watching this video: ruclips.net/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/видео.htmlsi=JfohqFa4K-zKnIKA
i have a new to me panasonic dvx200 which has a xlr mic input. Will this receiver plug straight in and work do you think?
Likely yes, unless it required Phantom power, in which case you’ll need this: ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
@@ScottUhlMusic thank you i will subscribe
Hey bro can I contact speker to speker??what if it have one 10" speker running on Bluetooth with phone and another 15" power speker without Bluetooth will it work.
This is not Bluetooth, it’s wireless xlr. Anything that would work with an xlr cable (without phantom power) will work with this 👍
Anyone compared these with the Xvive U3? I'm UK based playing small venues up to 150 people usually. We use two SM55 (Elvis) mics that are always in a stand. Just trying to help clear cable mess up and speed up setup/break down.
U3 is on 2.4Ghz, so I prefer this one instead 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for feedback.
Have you ever tested the Strich M2 wireless mic system?
That looks very similar to the product I’ll be releasing a video on on Tuesday 👍
You mentioned that you can charge the transmitter while in use, but can you also charge the receiver while in use?
I haven’t tried that. I would imagine you could though
How well do you think you could use two of these with a Behringer PM2 and have a stereo 5.8 GHz digital iem system…?
With only 4 channels to choose from you’d probably only want to do it for one person, but it’s an interesting idea.
You could do that for sure. Or this is a good stereo IEM system for not much more. Actually probably the same price haha: ruclips.net/video/dJL_zI2drRQ/видео.html
@@ScottUhlMusic I looked at those the other day. They’re not digital right? So while the frequency response is ok… the stereo separation on them is listed as only “>40dBm”. To me that sounds like there’s a lot of bleed between the two channels. Whereas using two of these XLR type systems could hypothetically avoid that… at least if they don’t cause interference with each other.
I’m using fake doubling on my guitar in my in-ears, which turns into a lot of phase issues when summing to mono qt all. So I need quality stereo separation.
I would probably go with a Shure or sennheiser wireless IEM system then. But… if you do end up trying this method, let me know if it works
Did it work on the sure beta 87a?
No because it needs phantom power. I did a review for one that sends phantom power here: ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
I would like to go from a yamaha mixer left channel out to a Boss VE 2 harmonizr input. Then from the harmonizer output to my vocal amp. I will short cable the mic(sm58) to the mixer mounted on the mic stand. would 2 of these work in that configuration??
These can replace anything that uses xlr for audio and doesn’t need phantom power 👍
Thanks, will give it a try!! Ordered today!
@@ScottUhlMusic
The product would work for me, but I have a question, what happens when the battery stops working or runs out over time. I don't want to spend on a product that I have to throw away at some point. Could you tell me about it? Thank you so much.
Stuff with a built in battery is that way. If you don’t want that, watch my Shure video series and save up for a BLX system 👍
I want to use this with a cloudlifter (which requires 48V) and at the end you suggested not to be used with phantom... would it cause issues or should I risk it?
If you need something with phantom power, this one works: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo

But the cloudlifter itself I believe does the phantom power
Can i ask something? Thus lekato 5.8 wireless compatible for any dynamic microphone, like mine i have sennheiser e945 dynamic microphone or for just shure sm58 user only? I hope you can help me thank you ❤
It should be good with any dynamic mic 👍 Cheap stuff CAN sometimes not work with a mic, so I can’t always be certain. But it should work with basically any dynamic mic
Is this good for recording on studio? Or is better use a cable?
Why would you need wireless for a studio?
Do you have any information on battery life ? And if it’s possible to open the units to install new batteries ? , being able to install new batteries if needed is a big reason if I buy these or not . Good video .
The battery life survives longer than 5 hours for sure. Some people say they can install new batteries, but I do not know how to 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I know the batteries last well once charged , I just wanted to know if it was possible to open the units to install new batteries if needed in the future , or if they are sealed for life etc, before throw the units away if the batteries died , I’d rather know before buying if it’s possible to fix them . Cheers
That’s part of the downsides of buying “cheap,” but still worth it IMO
@@ScottUhlMusic I’ve emailed lekato, see if they reply.
@@ScottUhlMusic A lot of gadgets are like this now , once the sealed internal battery dies , it’s throw away and buy another ! Nothing to do with cheap, this gadget will function just as good as more expensive model if not better , ive found this over the years , so , if the battery can be replaced , I will buy it , if it can’t , then I won’t . Most reviews including yours don’t cover what they need to.
To hide the hiss, use a limiter if using with a daw or soundboard.
I honestly do not hear any hiss when using this live at all. And we have in ears
@@ScottUhlMusic i just bought a pair. Haven't used yet. Charging now. I saw a reply addressing hiss. Gave a sugestion. Great video, by the way. I ksubscribed.
For sure! I didn’t mean for it to sound snippy haha, I was just saying that I didn’t have a problem with it live. But let me know if you like it once it charges 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic will test tomorrow. And you didn't sound "snippy." I probably should have tagged a post and been more clear. All good.
@@ScottUhlMusic hooked it and sounds great. I would suggest to others looking for a cost effective alternative.
How do I know when fully charged
The red light turns off
Bonus: this with the Behringer P2 makes a cheap wireless in ear rig. I did that with the X-vive version before they came out with the U4.
So... Lekato, make this, but in the same frequency range as the WS-70, and offer a headphone amp/receiver, and you'll sell a BUNCH of them.
Yup! I did something very similar in this video: ruclips.net/video/AoykGJRcPPw/видео.html But I agree, if lekato does this it would be huge of them!
Yeah, I actually typed that before the end of the video. Using my WS-70 on a gig tonight, and the new guitarist in the band bought two of them based on my suggestion, and your videos.
Are there Any systems out there like this that somehow handle condenser microphones that need phantom power?
The sennheiser ones (has to be 500 series I believe) does this, but it definitely drains the battery quickly. I did that before and it works, but plan to have multiple batteries. It’s the same one I cover in this video: ruclips.net/video/0WT9fHqVzZg/видео.html
The X-vive does, but it's 2.4G. You have to buy the version with phantom. I think it's the U3-C, for condenser
My receiver doesn't work as it should because it just turns on the blue light from the one who sends the signal to the receiver but the receiver doesn't want to accept it and doesn't turn on the light and nothing is heard😢😅
Might just be defective. Try another one. I have 2 of these in my band and they both work amazingly well
I have bought it recently. Still not sure if it is a toy or not. The latency is 7ms, not less than 5 as advertised. Not a big deal but it does not keep unity gain either. The level is 5.5dB lower comparing to a cable.
Max level before AD/DA clipping is -8.5dBu
The receiver XLR plug is short and keeps XLR socket lock button pressed (released) so it can't be used directly with eg. camera without a risk it would fall off.
Thanks for the info. I’ve used this live at multiple gigs when I got it and had no problems with it. But I will say… No one can hear 7ms or 5ms of latency. If the volume is less, you can always just turn up. But you are correct with using with a camera. You can get an xlr little extender or tiny cable if you planned to use it that way. I definitely think this is still worth it, especially for the price 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Isn't that honest if one advertise a product to give a customer a honest specs?
5 looks better than 7 and 0dB looks better than -6dB. Still it is not true. :)
BTW well designed 2.4GHz devices like eg Rode Wireless Go II outperforms 5.8GHz toy products.
You can get more latency based on your setup. So it could be a problem on your end, or they could have gotten it slightly wrong. Online they say 6ms or latency. I think 1ms of latency difference is within a reasonable margin of error and does not count dishonesty.
And where does it say there is no loss in signal volume? I looked and I didn’t see it. Again, a slightly lower volume is very easy to fix :)
The Rode wireless are great for sure. But they are completely different setup and design. If you are using them with a camera, those seem great. If you want to add one to a handheld mic, these Lekato 5.8 ones are great for that. And I’ll take 5.8ghz is far less crowded than 2.4ghz. So I personally stand by my review and I still recommend this product 👍 Cheers.
@@ScottUhlMusic Yeah almost 7 so still 6 ;) They had printed a manual with some mostly useless specs but gain is speced at 0dB.
Man, what a hiss! 105dB SN ratio??? No way!!! 60-80 maybe.
But, wait - wedding parties are noisy so nobody should notice, right? :)
I wonder how much time the batteries holds. 3 hours vs 5 advertised?
You can still plug some small power bank or charge it in between sets anyway. ;)
Cheers!
@@zbyszekolko3998 I'm definitely not going to be mad at a 1ms difference... again, assuming it's not a mistake on your end lol. This system is great, and I still use it to this day. I can confirm that the Battery survives longer than 4+ hours. I use it for a 4 hour set, including soundcheck, and never had it die on me. I also do not have a hiss problem with this system. Sounds like it's not for you. But I still use and recommend this system to others. 👍
Please tell me if I connect Lekato to Shure SM35-XLR Performance Headset Condenser Microphone they will work together
If you need phantom power, you’ll need this one: ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks mate
yes different but unnoticeable to normal human
The sound or the look? I guarantee that “normal” people don’t care about either
Hi scott, is it works on condenser mic, does it has phantom power on it?
Nope, but this one does: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo
ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
Thanks bro
Has anyone found a way to open one these to change the battery?
Definitely the bees knees compared to others I've tried.
I know people say there is a way to, but I’m not aware of how to.
@@ScottUhlMusic There is a joint in the wrapping below the word transmitter or receiver. I suspect a hot air gun maybe the way ahead.
Bit silly to throw them away for the sake of changing a battery.
Doznt tell U how much battery life is left. The flickering lights is only the chanel
That is true, my mistake!
Hi Scott, Can I use 3 systems on same audio mixer without interference? Could you please let me know? Thank you
You can. Just be careful because you only have 4 channels. If 2 of them are crowded/used you won’t be able to use 3. Also don’t use a bunch of cheap wireless all at once: ruclips.net/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/видео.html
@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you Scott!
If you have a bunch of these on stage, do they interfere with each other?
The more wireless you have on stage the more likely they will interfere with each other. I only have the one system and it worked well with all those other systems like I mentioned about my first show I did with these. It really all depends on the environment. I wouldn’t do more than 4 of these specifically. That’s my best guess
With them having 4 channels (or tunnels?). I guess if you have 5 of them on stage you are stuck? The Legato wireless guitar devices can handle 50 or more. Just wondered if these did too.
I would be very surprised if you could actually use 50 or 70 of those ones you are talking about at once. I’m working on a video right now to explain how that works, but 70 wireless on stage at once needs a higher end model that transmits on a very narrow frequency. I haven’t tested the 70 wireless of the cheaper ones obviously haha. But still, it’s a great system! Just realize “70 channels” doesn’t mean “can transmit and use 70 wireless at once”
Works whit phantom also or not.?
No but this one will: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo

I can't get it to work with condenser mic
Yeah you need phantom power for that. It only works with dynamic mics. Phantom power required a lot of power. This one works with phantom but the battery obviously won’t last as long: ruclips.net/video/mGETbUMKzG4/видео.html
I purchased this product, it works great with a microphone, but it doesn't work well when connecting a mixer to a speaker, as soon as you turn up the volume a bit, the sound immediately goes into distortion, quite logical, assuming it is suitable for mic mode, and not for line or aux mode. I would appreciate it if you have a solution to the matter
Ours works great with our PA. But if yours isn’t working for your pa, this one is a great option:
ruclips.net/video/tM4ndTdGfos/видео.htmlsi=uuC7TIT6crdP-n9o
@@ScottUhlMusic It's already an expensive and more cumbersome product, xvive has the same product that has the option of line or mic mode, maybe it's worth buying it
Does it work on condenser mic?
It doesn’t provide phantom power unfortunately
Do you need an amplifier?
This replaces xlr cables. Anything that takes xlr cables that doesn’t require phantom power…. This thing makes it wireless
How do you know battery level?
