NUX B-5RC Wireless Guitar System

About This Equipment

I thought wireless would be just an esoteric luxury, but these are more than that. To me, they sound BETTER than a cable. They are super simple to use and easy to charge. I also like being unencumbered by the cable.

The only thing I've had trouble with is when I use it for my basses that have active pickups. I would get a high-pitched hum. The good news is that there is a simple solution. I just got a TS mono adapter and pluged the nux into the adapter then the adapter into the bass. Make sure you get a mono adapter and not stereo! I didn't pay close enough attention and bought the wrong thing the first time around.

It delivers remarkable 24-bit audio quality, simple 'plug in and play' operation, super-low latency (<5 ms) and a solid signal for distances up to 30 meters / 100 feet in adequate conditions.

B-5RC also comes with a portable Power Case to keep the wireless units charged – ideal design for when you are on the road.

HIGH QUALITY AUDIO: 2.4 GHz BROADCAST

B-5RC Wireless delivers the signal on 2.4 GHz frequency range. That's a global interference-free broadcasting range you can use everywhere without a signal break.
With the 24-bit 44.1 KHz audio quality you will never experience unwanted sound degradation.

AUTOMATIC SETUP: UNIQUE AUTO-MATCHING SYSTEM

Each pair of NUX B-5RC has a unique fast-matching system.
Just hold the power button to turn ON both devices, plug the transmitter to your instrument, and the receiver to your amp (or pedal, audio interface and more). It's ready to play!

Moreover, it has a useful MUTE function; just short click the transmitter's POWER button when you want to stop playing for a short time.

LONG DISTANCE & ULTRA-LOW LATENCY: A NEW LEVEL OF WIRELESS FREEDOM

NUX B-5RC has a 30 meters / 100 feet line-of-sight wireless streaming distance (environment-dependent), and it delivers the signal between the transmitter and the receiver in less than 5 milliseconds.
There's also an optional Cable Tone simulation to get your tone with the cable capacitive effect without using a cord. It makes your sound as natural as using a high-quality cable.

PERFECT FOR ALL STYLES: ULTIMATE COMPATIBLITY

NUX B-5RC works perfectly with active/passive electric guitar and bass, and acoustic-electric guitars with piezo or magnetic pickup.
The signal is crystal clear.

Also, the compact and light-weight design allows you to play comfortably on any guitar and bass body types, including acoustic guitars and ukuleles.

LONG-LASTING BATTERY AND POWER CASE: STAY CHARGED, STAY TUNED

With B-5RC's built-in long-lasting battery, you can play for up to 4 hours non-stop. It also has auto-sleep mode to save the battery life – the system automatically turns off after 10 minutes without playing.
