the t.bone IEM D2.4

Wij gebruiken vier sets van the t.bone IEM D2.4 voor live shows en repetities. Het geluid is prima. Bedraad is er niks aan de hand, maar draadloos (waar je ze juist voor aanschaft) ontstonden er al snel problemen.

Twee van de vier ontvangers veroorzaakten een vreemde, (digitale) ruis. Nare pieptonen, hardnekkige bijgeluiden. Het complete geluid viel zelfs soms weg en het geluid vervormde constant. Bekabeld was er niets aan de hand, dus er ging iets niet goed tussen zender en ontvanger. Maar wat...?

Na veel tijd en alle mogelijke opties van het aanpassen van frequencies zijn we er uiteindelijk achter gekomen dat de antennes kapot waren... toen we deze eraf schroefden bleek dat het draadje in de antenne enorm dun is en was beschadigd terwijl we er altijd voorzichtig mee zijn omgegaan. Onbegrijpelijk dat ze dit zo gebouwd hebben.

Op aanraden van iemand die ook deze problemen ondervond hebben we nieuwe antennes besteld van een ander merk. Hopelijk gaat dit werken, anders sturen we de set compleet retour.

Having several In-Ear Wireless System, and used them live on stage, this one is the best choice for the price. Outstanding sound quality and link stability even in a crowded 2,4ghz environment. Tested link and firts drop was about 150m distance between transmitter and receiver. Even un perceptible hiss noise when no sound played. Ordered also extra battery. I can gig about 8 hours before battery drops to the last bar. Easy menus and excellent OLED transmitter display. Receiver is smal and dual antenas is a plus.

I have been using Shure PSM 700 for many years, and finally decided to retire it. I also used to have a Sennheiser G3 IEM. I was happy with both previous systems, however comparing these to the Thomann D2.4T/R combo - I have to say that things have moved on a LOT. The first thing to hit me was the sound quality - a significant upgrade on the other 2 systems I've used. I was VERY impressed. The transmitter has a nice bright (auto-dimming) front display which is very easy to navigate, and all settings are available via the dial selector. Input gain is a great feature depending on what kit you're sending your audio from. The level meters on the front are simple, but work very well to ensure you've got the best gain for the audio source. The transmitter is a rugged metal construction and looks and feels very solid as do the panel controls. The beltpack is not metal, but I have to say after years of using metal ones, this one is very lightweight which is a plus for me. The composite plastic however is great quality and solid. It does not feel cheap. The pack also has a mode switch to access the menu, which is very simple to operate also, with some nice features in such as EQ and 'Eardrive' both of which have several options to customise the sound in you in-ears. I am using the Shure SE215s which I've never liked much, but plugged into this kit they sound significantly better :) I have no concerns about the durability of the belt pack. It is well engineered. Love the lithium battery - 18500 with 8 hours capacity all day long! Brilliant innovation! No more Thor away expensive Duracells! You won't likely need a spare battery, but Thomann offer one at a very cheap price. These will last you years. Also included in the IR sync between the belt pack and transmitter. I honestly can't find anything wrong with this kit! It is great value. I now need to road test it, but have already found out that I can roam from the front of my house, to the rear of the back garden some 40 metres away and the signal stays full, with no drop-outs, which I am amazed at considering all the brick and metal in between! Others have achieved 150m before drop outs and I can believe it. I am interested to see how the unit copes with a congested live environment with 200+ mobile phones in one room, so I will eventually report back on this, but there are lots of channels to choose from so I'm optimistic. Thanks Thomann! Great job!
