Why in the world would a digital wireless system ever be more expensive than an analog one? That makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. The components to build a digital system are much fewer and much cheaper than those to build an analog one. That´s why the Line 6 systems are so much less expensive than just about anything else on the market.
Also, why would this guy think it a good idea to take out and replace the capsule with the transmitter on and running? That´s a terrible idea.
What are you talking about? The digital unit does not use less parts, but more. You need every thing you would need for the analog with the addition of a AD converter on one end and a DA converter on the other.
Line 6 is cheaper because they are a novice level system.
@gsbaracuda So you need a squelch control for a digital wireless? NO. You need a compander for a digital wireless? NO. Those two things right there are pretty big portions of the expenses. Yes, the digital wireless does include A/D and D/A converters. No, those don´t cost very much.
And if Line 6 is a novice level company, then they´re doing exceedingly well for being so, considering the fact that their wireless systems are quickly becoming some of the most popular on the market.
@tmfcovers Yes you do need squelch, it is simply at a fixed point. (as are some analog systems) The compander is not needed, but the add-on of 2 digital conversions and proprietary codecs make up that savings and then some. Aslo consider the R&D involved in bringing a new product to market. You say "it make absolutely no say sense" that it costs more, and I say it makes perfect sense.
@tmfcovers Line 6 is a novice system, and a total MI product. That is not to say it is a bad system, just not taken seriously by pros. I am not knocking the line 6, just saying it is a beginner type product line. More the type of product you would more likely see used at karaoke night at applebees than one a national bands stage.
@gsbaracuda You argue a good point. I´m still convinced otherwise, but less so. In any case, we´ll see how their digital wireless fares on the market.
