Jim Looks at the NU-X Compact Wireless System
This new compact wireless mic system by NU-X is receiving rave reviews everywhere!
B-6 is a 2.4GHz wireless microphone system specifically designed for saxophone players. The clip-on transmitter adjusts to attach to the bell of any standard saxophone. A flexible gooseneck microphone connects to the transmitter and locks in place to be directed for optimum sound pickup.
The microphone is a custom-designed electret condenser capsule with special tuning and precision suspension to avoid keying noise and unwanted resonant frequencies. 3 voicing modes are available to deliver the best sound performance for Tenor, Alto, and Soprano instruments.
The receiver is a convenient XLRM plug-in type for connection to a microphone input on a mixing console or amplifier. The system will auto-pair when powered up and seek the best carrier to maintain a stable connection. Both transmitter and receiver are rechargeable and are supplied in a power case, which recharges both when stored and can recharge itself via a standard USB type-C port. B-6 is designed to provide freedom, convenience, and no-fuss operation for saxophone players that don't want to be tied to the mic stand.

STAFF REVIEW
"I was immediately impressed with this NU-X system as soon as I opened it up. The way that the system works with the charging case is both well thought out and well executed. Everything has that reassuring, robust build quality of items many times its modest price bracket. I am also a huge fan of the compact and easy-to-use nature of the system. The microphone transmitter and receiver have very few buttons between them, just turn them on and you're ready to go! I also really enjoy the mechanism for attaching the mic to the bell as it carries on the theme of well-thought-out design and it is hard to see how it could fall off, even if you really give it some.
A lot of Wireless Mic Systems can seem a bit daunting, with all the confusing features and specifications, but the NU-X cuts through the fog and will be perfect for those players wanting a no-fuss solution that doesn't break the bank." - Matthew "Tone King" Racine - Sax.co.uk
