Title: Wireless Mic into a Wireless Guitar?
Post by: zener on January 06, 2004, 09:42:13 AM
May be a stupid question :? , but I still would ask

Can a wireless microphone and receiver be modded to become that for an electric guitar?

Thanks.

I asked the question because I can get a wireless mic set for a very cheap price ($10 considering foreign exchange rate here).

I think there's a wireless project in Mark Hammer's site at hammer.ampage.org

i know the shure lavalier packs take guitar signal just fine (other brands could work fine too), done it many a time.  just made a 1/4" cable.  they have those weird 4 pin inputs.  i think i remember it being just like xlr but the phantom (6Vdc) was the extra pin or something.  just used one of the hots and ground and left the other two unconnected.

:? what's a ratshack? :?

edit: the one at mark hammer's site distorts the signal anyway, I want a clean transmitter. Who knows of any good sites?

edit edit: Hold on it does clean aswell. Can someone help me draw up a schemmo for just clean transmission?

the shure ones have a gain control in the transmitter near the batteries.  you can turn that down to make it stop clipping.

Uhm, yah. :roll:

I really wanna go wireless because it would be so much more easy concerning walking-around-issues. Think of music teachers having a heart-attack after producing my pedalboard :D But this would just be a "plug the pedalboard in, turn the transmitter power on" sortof thing, without having to plug cables all over the place. Or at least I won't be dragging cables behind me anymore... :P

Does anyone have a schemmo for a simple working FM transmitter?  :roll:
