LD Systems U308 IEM

I play in a 6 piece covers band and all but the drummer use these wireless packs as our IEMs. We play primarily in pubs, hotels and wedding venues. I bought one set to test before everyone else got theirs and so it has been used at least once a week for around 6 months at the time of writing.

I have found there to be very few issues with the sound quality of the unit although it is worth remembering that quality is linked to the headphones used, cheap/low quality headphones will produce a lower quality sound.

I have a wireless instrument pack on my bass as well and sometimes like to wander around when playing (dancing with the crowd etc). I have managed to leave the building and get about 150m down the road with no drop-outs (the instrument pack of a different brand didn't fare as well).

Overall I think this is a great semi-pro IEM system, well worth the money. I have tried some cheaper alternatives over the years and always found that they are just a bit lack-luster. The U308 on the other hand was a breath of fresh air and worked flawlessly out of the box.

I bought this because I was worried I wouldn't hear myself sing at my friend's gig.

To that end, this product works very well. I used a pair of Shure SE215-CK's and was able to enjoy a mix just for me, letting me hear my voice clearly. Listening to recordings of the gig, I am pleased with my vocals and it is all down to this product.

I like how easy it is to set it up and get going. It weighs very little and is not a bad looking unit from a distance.

As for cons, it does feel plastic like and doesn't look that great up close. I did experience some interference while I was waiting in the wings, but once I got on stage I had no issues. My primary concern was proper monitoring, to alleviate my anxiety about singing out of tune due to not hearing myself properly.

So, all in all. A great package for the price asked. I just wanted to hear myself sing in a noisy environment, and it delivered. Looking forward to using this in my upcoming gigs.

Der Sender, der im rack verbaut wurde, sendet ein gutes, jedoch recht stark rauschendes Signal. Für den Preis aber nicht anders zu erwarten.

Nun zum Empfänger (bodypack):
Nach nichtmal 2 Monaten hat das Gerät den Geist aufgegeben und hat nur noch Rauschen von sich gegeben. Nach Rücksprache mit Thomann und der lästigen 12!!! Wöchigen wartetei auf die Reparatur nach Einsendung, hat sich das Gerät bei Erhalt nicht mal mehr einschalten lassen. Einfach lächerlich und vom Thomann Kunden Service bin ich zum ersten Mal seit fast 20 Jahren maßlos enttäuscht.

Mir wurde geraten, ein weiteres bodyboard einzeln nachzukaufen - es sei ja momentan sogar im Angebot. Wollt ihr mich verar….?!

Werde wohl keine LD Produkte und wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr bei Thomann bestellen. Schade.
