As stated before on the old Guitar-DNA website, we are huge fans of the wireless systems that Line 6 has been selling. We started out with the X2 XDS95 systems about 3 years ago, and they have proven to be every bit as great as the top-of-the-line Shure systems, or anything else out there that's considered to be pro-level, for a fraction of the price. The only downside to them has been the range.
Th XDS95 is the X2 unit with the stompbox-sized reciever; the XDR1, and this unit is great as a compact unit, expcept the internal antennas tend to allow for dropout in as little as 10' or less in some venues. This wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't advertized up to 100' of range. To solve this problem, we started doing what we always do. In lieu of buying more gear we looked to the interwebs for a mod, and sure enough we found one. The XDS95 Modification: http://xds95modification.blogspot.com
This mod is set up to add two 2dBi antennas to the XDR1, and thus should increase the range dramatically. We are in the midst of trying this mod out, and will be posting updates of our progress, as well as pictures as we go along here. The actual blog is going to be seperate from this blog, and the URL is http://x2xds95mod.blogspot.com
Feel free to check it out.
