0:00 It's such a lovely evening

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I do have to be doing this video while I've got hay fever but there you go, never mind. It's such a lovely evening. Okay, so I've got the U3 from X5 and it is a wireless system. It's basically a transmitter, that's the one with the aerial on the end, and the receiver. Now, the transmitter of course will plug into whatever you want to transmit. The DJ Tutor allows you to use the audio from the receiver. So in this case I'm going to be using an AKG mic and I'm going to plug that into here and you're probably wondering why I'm in a field all will be revealed because oh field all will be revealed because I'm using my phone now again technology is so crazy now I'm using an iPhone and I'm in the middle of a field

I'm using the X5U3 to demonstrate the sort of distance that it will transmit to. Now let's imagine, you know, you are indeed having, you've got a wedding and they're outside and the wedding is outside, should I say, and you need a speaker, let's say by the bride and the groom, you know, if they're getting married on site. You don't want any unsightly cables, power leads or anything like that. So of course with today's technology you've got powered speakers. Not only that, using something like this, the U3, you no longer have to even have an audio cable because you can go directly from your mixer, use this and then, or the transmitter and then to the receiver and away you go. You've basically got a speaker in the middle of nowhere.

1:50 The receiver again and the transmitter

Giving great audio. Oh, right. So the receiver again and the transmitter. So excuse the paraphernalia here, but this was a made up cable. So I've doctored an XLR into a mini jack. That there is a Rode cable that is basically four pin. And then I've gone then into the connector for my iPhone. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to plug that into the phone. It'll go quiet for a bit while I get all of this ready. In fact, I'm going to do this now. So if I do it now, we shouldn't have much of a silence. So I'm going to plug that in. Hey fever, sorry about this. Now very quickly as well, what we have on the transmitter is we have power on and off. We also have mic and line. So if I want to use a line output, got a line of course, same with mic. But also we have a button here that you can press and you can select up to six channels. So again, you could use six of these. You could have four microphones and two for your audio or three for audio if you've got a separate auxiliary output as some mixers have so you can have a separate sound.

3:42 I'll walk and talk and hopefully you can still hear me

A separate audio going to another room while you're, say, playing in the main room. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to power on here. I'm on mic and I'm on channel one. And just press that button, that will go through the channels. Hey fever! Right, so do the same here, just power on. That's it. And I'm on channel one. So I'm going to plug this into... So, I'll walk and talk and hopefully you can still hear me. I'm now approximately 30 feet away, I'd say at least. Now a good 40 feet away. A good 50 feet and 60 and I would say 70 feet roughly. So I'm stood now, don't know if you can see me. Hello, here I am. Right, so let's start walking back. So hopefully we would not have lost any of the audio. If we did then I'm not too concerned because you would want to always make sure that you've got any kit.

That you take to any venue in view of yourself because you don't want to have kit where you can't see it because could go walkies right hey fever so i hope that helps now again it's from a company called x vive it's known as the u3 and as you can see i'm using it on a mic but you can also use it like i said for basic audio so you could plug one of these into the back of your mixer There will be information in the description. Thank you for watching, practice and enjoy.
