Wireless DJ Active Speakers Do it From Scratch with DJ Mikey Mike Gemini UHF & Line6

[DJCalienteNYC]

I never owned a Gemini Wireless mic but i was looking at the Gemini UHF 5200M mic system. I do have a Shure pgx24/beta 58a mic system. The mic sounds alittle bassy and the mids and highs could be better.

[DJDreamDiscos]

hello mikey mike, you should try bluetooth recievers and transmitters, use it for my headphones and works really well!

[ELBONITO118]

I would like to know how can I put my subwoofer to only get bass and no voice

They makes those backwards so that you would use the small receiver, the lapel looking thing on the top of the speaker keeping the big bulky receiver that needs to be plugged in next to your'e booth. Now if you use it in combination with a battery powered Carvin 10" speaker you don't need no AC. You will use the lapel receiver which runs on AA batteries and the Battery powered 10" no wires needed. You are doing it the old fashion MacGyver style hook up, there is a better and easy way to do it

Great research. Must look into it.

Hey mike i bought the gemini 2064 system and it came with mini xlr jacks for the mic. I am trying to source mini xlr jacks to hook up it to normal xlr jacks so i can get to do my wireless systems for gigs .I live in trinidad so i will have to order it

[joncarpenter]

MM, Have you tried the gemini or line 6 through walls? I'm djing a wedding that is 4 rooms split with walls in the middle. I know the Sennheiser one goes through walls but its also 600$+ I might be able to hit the doors and not the walls, but I just wanted to know if youve tried it or not.

Thanks so much for all you do!

[fordRules25]

Hey, I've found Some Nady PSW15 speakers, AND I LOVE THEM!!!! It handles 250w RMS an 500w peak. I got them for $140 a piece. Their not top of the line but they'

re good enough for me.

[rokrdudeee]

I want those speakers!!!!

[LapulgaPTY]

i want this to by my 5.1 home theater, what do you suggest??

[jah24javed]

hey mike how is the reproduction of the music and on the lapel system on the gemini. i am ordering the gemini dual 2064L and i am hoping the sound quality is great for the wireless speaker setup.

[djfifth5element]

Hey mike quick ? Can you transmit one body pack to two separate recievers?

[c2djservices]

Im Djing a wedding soon and was wondering if this would work with something like a guitar amplifier, I know it wont sound great, but I just need it for announcements and dinner would that work?

[directsound]

@c2djservices It might just work

MM

[jigsawjams]

Mike, I run a DJ Service in Flint MI, If you get a chance check out my videos I would love to here your feed back!! I like your videos..

[jigsawjams]

Mike, I found a GTD Audio uhf mic system that works great and it's a duel system rack mount I found it on ebay and amazon for $150.00 I dont like to buy things that are not name brand, my other mic system is EV and I spent over $800.00 on it and I got to tell you the GTD system is not bad.keep up the good work!!

[directsound]

@jigsawjams It all depends what your using your mics for and these work great for me ...I still love my shures and my line6 for other applacations though

DJ MIkey mIKE

[jigsawjams]

great stuff

[djmikeinthemix]

assuming money is not a problem i would like to ask you why did you buy those powered speakers....as opposed to the mackie's or the qsc's or the jbl's....

was it price related? availability? quality? ...dont get me wrong....its a legit question. what made you get this ones instead of the mainstream or the crazy expensive ones?

[directsound]

@djmikeinthemix I needed a cheap pair for my garage to use that were small and sounded good ...I have Powered JBLs the new EON XL's and they are great

DJ Mikey Mike

[daddyquag209]

Ohh okkay thanks man..its cus im a begginner nd i only do like house parties and stuff...

[daddyquag209]

hey i was wondering if the gemini rs410s are any good?? i wana buy some but 12s should i get them?

[directsound]

@daddyquag209 good for small gigs like wedding cermonies

[BoogiemanUSA]

Mike where did you get the cable that goes from the speaker to the body pack, i just got the gemini uf 2064 with 2 body packs off e-bay cheap.... but i need the xlr cable out to bodypack.. thanks kevin

[DaKidJovan]

Great video...Hey I was looking for some info on the Gemini RS-410 speakers... Are they a good set of speakers?? Thanx hope to hear from you soon

[DJSINFUL1978]

I bought 4 Kustom KPC-15's just to play with. First thing i found out was that the front baffle is not mounted very well. With some liqued nail and caulking i was able to fix that. While i was inside i noticed that the insalation was glued very poorly and decided to fix that. I removed the insalation and replaced it with a 24"x 22" sheet of poly-foam. I also did some work on the ports by removing the screens on them. I spent $99 each for the speakers and $20 in stuff for repairs. Loud and clear!

[benmcc76]

Hey!

I tried your wireless solution today at my school with the shure ULX system. It worked fantastic for my monitors because I didn't need to run cables all the way there.

I'm still trying to find a way to do wireless with passove speakers.

Thanks for the idea!

DJ Ben

[DJRuss96]

Do u need a wireless mic with the body pack to do this?

[djsareawesome]

its a great concept and looked like it worked great but gemeni ehhh i dunno

[muchodj]

PICKED UP SOME NICE 10W LED PAR 64 WITH THE LONG BRACHET SO U CAN CLEAR XLR CABLE ADAPTERS. UNDER 80 BUCKS A POP. THEY WORK NICE,.

[precise305]

I've done something similar, what I did was plug the body pack into my mixer's headphone out. My system was indoors, but there were people outdoors for the beginning of the event. I plugged the receiver into a powered speaker about 50 feet outside, worked like a charm, and sounded perfect. Thanks for letting people know it can be done.

[StandingOvationOrl]

Hey MM, That's thinking out of the box! So easy but I never would've thought to but them together. I have all the parts in my trailer, I will be using a Sennheiser G3 hope it works. Great Job!!!!

[RobStarsinger]

maybe gemini should build speakers with these built in would be a unique selling point

[nbrska222]

hey mikey mike i gotta be honest when i first watched the vid i didn't think i'd have a use for this........boy was i wrong! awesome idea i'm going to be trying it out myself!

[Netzdoktor]

What we're using is a Sennheiser-EW100G2-System. We use a standard Sennheiser Receiver, sometimes in a K&H PAS-100, which is simply a battery powered speaker. As a sender we use Sennheiser SR 2020-D which was made for their tourguide-series. Before we had that, we also used the bodypack transmitters, but we had to change batteries all the time.

Of cource you can also add special antennas on both the sender and the receiver.

[Giggity2007]

I can't believe how far it reached! Great vid Mike!

[28TSDJ]

Still a dumb idea....

[DJMICDTN]

GLAD TO SEE YOU GOT YA SOME ACTIVE SPEAKERS MAN. HAVE YOU DONE AN EVENT WITH THEM YET? IF SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THEM?

[FreezEntertainment]

uh-uh, uh-uh, UH-UH, uh-uh, "..like the way it sounds."

lol thats gonna be in my head forever now

anyway, interesting vid Mike!

btw i use all Behringer gear mostly, because I'm just getting in to the "gigging often" stage of my DJ 'game' (if you will) and I don't have a job yet (im 16). Behringer will cut the cake haha

[waylan3]

thats what i was telling you but its to distorted not to mention being uhf it will grap all kind of interference that is uhf including airports and some old scanners you need to add a rechargable battery pack and go totally wireless

[robertmitzel]

i have a set of Behringer B415DSP's, and love them. They hit hard by themselves, but have found the glory of a couple subs with them. Did a head to head with the Thump and a Mackie SRM 450v2, blew the thump out of the water for clarity, and were even a little nicer sounding than the 450. Weight on them sucks though they're a bear to haul around. Otherwise nice speaker eventhough they're a little older now and i think discontinued, but am looking at another set of Behringers to replace these

[patrickman123]

nice one!

i gotta try this out :)

[123scottsdj]

wow man, back and forth to that soeaker and you house ! lol, Btw good job, i use 2 yorkville active speakers with 12 and a horn and they work great !

[CrossfaderShow]

Great experiment. That Line 6 is a digital system, right?

[directsound]

@CrossfaderShow yes it is!

MM

[event101]

Hi DJ Mikey Mike, love the video. A few years ago I used a few Sennheiser In Ear Monitors transmitters and some Sennheiser Radio mic receivers to do a job and they worked very well. It would work out more expensive because you would have to buy two systems but if you had applications for In Ear Monitors and Radio mics it would work out ok . Love the VW Bug in the videos by the way.

[directsound]

@event101 Their are a few ways to do it the Nady has a ear moniter that might work for around$300 or so but i think I found the way I want to go

MM

[syncmaster710n14]

Nice. I use a 10 Watt FM transmitter and just regular fm receivers, work well for me. Also I have a pair of Samson Resound HD12s and a Samson SX1200 amp had them about 2 years with no trouble, Very clean sound but do lack bass probable would work better with a sub or 2. Cost me £500 for the lot, which is really good value, don't sound too bad compared to my Martin Audios which are 6 times the price!!!

[directsound]

@syncmaster710n14 10w WOW I use a .25mw fm trans as thats as big as i can go in the USA

MM

[karl0dj]

hey brotha,...........is there delay from the first speaker to the wireless speaker???

[directsound]

@karl0dj I dont know as I was to far away from the mains to hear

mm

[bacos21]

@karl0dj As with any wireless setup there will be a delay however the better the quality of the equipment u use the less delay there will be generally u will be looking at 30millisecond delay which really is nothing

[PARTICOLT]

cooll

[directsound]

@djdalepioneer anything under 100 I get cold LOL no Im in the high desert and it even snows here ...not a lot but some

MM

[BoogiemanUSA]

The gemni you can find for about 150.00, maybe not the same model, the line 6 your looking about 300.00 pssl has a dual lav for 129 but its not the same, great review and test, i would be in jail my neighbors suck. I like the gemni mainly because i would hate changing batteries, you already have to run power to the speaker jmo.. HOLLA Boogieman

[directsound]

@BoogiemanUSA you still need batteries at the body pack but it looks like it has a charging port so we might be able to plug the body pack in I just dont know if we will get any noist upon charging

MM

[frank0p99]

LOL... It's funny how I had been thinking about that solution for a while, especially since one of my hand help microphone fell and does not work anymore... I have been looking for a body pack in the same frequency range for some time now on ebay... Good to see it actually works... How did you hear about this solution?

[directsound]

@frank0p99 I have been doing it for some time with FM but after seeing the AGI video I started looking for a UHF or a 2.4 solution and it looks like I have found a good place to start its not the bust but Im not done yet!

MM

[irgarza52]

does the line 6 needs a power plug at the speakers it doesn't use batteries?

Great Video!

Isaac G.

[directsound]

@irgarza52 batteries at the concol and a plug at the speakers thats why we use powered speakers theres power already there

MM

[irgarza52]

@directsound would you be able to use power at both locations to you dont have to worry about batteries? Thanks

Isaac G. 

[directsound]

@irgarza52 the gemini has a charging port but i havent tryied it yet

[directsound]

@DJJoey100 Sweet!!!!

thanks

MM

[WhitePompousGods]

Hey Mikey Mike, Have you ever tried the Phonics WM-Sys4 wireless speaker set up? It does two speakers at a time. It's around 350 for that set up too. I wasn't sure if it held up or what, but it does the same things you're doing. Just curious if you tried it.

[axelrod21]

@WhitePompousGods Sorry but at the current time that system is black list by FCC for operating in 700Mhz range.

[WhitePompousGods]

@axelrod21 yeah it figures ... love Government intervention.

[directsound]

@axelrod21 yes your right. I just looked and it does fall in that range So I have a few new mics on the way !! thanks for looking out!

MM

[ljmike1204]

oh than you need to chek out behringer ultra link ul 2000m the are cheap the need 2 9v baterys in it you can screw 2 together so you have 1he space filed the have coller rings and 100m under good conditions like the weddings on outside the also have beltpacks if you need som more info i wil do a vid aboud it

[sainifabulous]

mm

[dchay333]

Mike yr havin a hayday with that! haha I love your dedication for this, it definitely helps out some of us who cant compare multiple products for one solution, thank you! Also, i use a behringer ep4000 to run my dual 15 jbls and it is a workhorse! never had a problem with it, even when i run it into the ground for school dances and things like that. I also own a berhringer mixer for my radio station and i am very impressed. Some of these brands are really kickin some butt! Thanks again!

[directsound]

@dchay333 way cool!!!!

mm

[stewardsproductions]

m m

[djxxlaker]

im a big fan of Gemini

[directsound]

@djxxlaker good to hear

[Maxsdiscos]

The only downside is the belt pack runs off batteries, so they would need to be changed or re-charged.

The distance is great though.

[directsound]

@Maxsdiscos this belt pack has a charging port that I need to get more info on

mm

[ljmike1204]

thats nice i only have like 50 meter on my mic

[directsound]

@ljmike1204 thats better than my shure vhf mics

[thefamilyk]

oh my gosh im gonna have that loop stuck in my head all day

[directsound]

@thefamilyk lol

[tlkw]

if we run power cable way not aoudvio wire

[directsound]

@tlkw that is just a test you would have power on the other side of a room or area not having to run audio across or power

mm

[mountaindrew86]

First! Woot!

[directsound]

@mountaindrew86 yes you are but did you learn anything about wireless?
