Nux C-5RC Wireless System

I've had this wireless system for a few months now and it's not let me down so far. There have been no issues with interference, even when using an active bass, which I suspect is where the 5.8ghz frequency helps.

The carry case which doubles as a charger you can use on the go is also super handy if you forget to charge the transmitter and receiver before heading out. I've been able to use the system for 3-4 hours before the charge finally ran out - plenty for pretty much any gig.

The kit is also super easy to use - plug the transmitter and receiver into the respective inputs, press the button on the side of each unit until the lights turn green and away you go.

I was sceptical of purchasing a wireless kit for what is overall not a lot of money as they have a reputation for being of poor quality unless you spend a decent amount, however I've been pleasantly surprised by the Nux C-5RC and would replace it in a heartbeat if it was ever stolen. I don't go crazy with moving all over a stage but not having to worry about tripping over cables means I can focus on playing.

Highly recommended.

This review is based on the experience after approximately 2 months of use (let's say 20 separate occations: 2 live events, 12 band rehearsals & 6 "playing at home...")

The product seems to work as intended, no problems with drop outs yet. Tested in a sold out small venue with ~100 people capacity, 2 active WiFi systems. I would have tested it during a bigger show at a slithly larger venue (~300-400 capacity) but there seems to seems to be some kind of battery issue with the receiver part, it refuses to get charge up, so I think I have to send it back for a replacement.

Pros:
- Comes with its own case that also is a power bank.
- Can be charged either directly or through the case.
- Easy to set up / start.
- Turns itself off (TX 10min, RX 20min) if you forget it on.
- Latency is low enough.

Cons:
- Would benefit from a separate "battery led". My biggest concern with battery dependant equipment is battery life/status. As it is now the same led is responsible for indicating connectivity, battery life, mute and "cable tone". It can get a little confusing, especially since the some colors are used for multiple things. And what if you're color blind? I'm not but...

Conclusion:
Seems to be a working product, my RX-part seems to have an issue with charging up might have to be replaced, but I must test it some more. The Nux C-5RC occupies some sort of sweet spot between cheap garbage and prohibitly expensive stuff (hobbyist). If lost or stolen I would probably consider buying it again.
