Wireless from mixer to powered speaker?

[Robin, Wales]

Could you run a wireless dongle type system (Lekato 5.8hz or similar) from a compact mixer such as the StompMix to a powered speaker? Do the wireless systems cope with the line level output from a mixer? What are the pros and cons. Which output would you choose (left or right or phones etc)?

I'm just thinking about mic'ing at gigs. Either two dynamics or single ldc. I use both styles at different gigs. The mic(s) going to the StompMix (powered by a USB powerpack) at the foot of the mic stand. The powered speaker(s) positioned forward.

At some small venues, not running cables from the stage area to the speaker would make the set-up easier and safer.

BTW - EAE are possibly about to announce something around power packs and the StompMix 4. Not sure what, but they have told me that a product anouncement is coming this month.

Yep, I do it all the time. I use both the Lekato and the NUX. Sometimes you might run into a line of sight issue. I use a short mic cable and just let the receiver hang down so it can be "seen" by the transmitter.

Thanks - that's good to know. I'll give it a try.

Have you considered a snake that has your IEC and XLR cable together? That makes less of a mess of wiring.

Yes, I've done this as well from the line out of our SA 330x behind us on stage to a remote powered speaker halfway out in a narrow long space in which we occasionally perform. Works fine and no customers tripping on a cable.

Thanks. It's the safety issue of not having cable runs in some venues that's attractive.

Indeed! I spent way too much time in my formative years crawling on barroom floors taping down cable runs!

I’ve used my Xvive IEM to go from an aux out to the jack input on my Bose s1 pro. It worked great but is designed to take such a signal compared to instrument level on a guitar-focused system.

I don't know about formative years; I'll be down on my hands and knees taping down a cable run tomorrow night!

That looks good. I could run two receivers, one for each speaker if I was using my full system. I like that it has a line signal selector.
