Sabine Hooks “Fish” With 2.4 GHz Wireless Guitar System
Press Release
Posted 2004-11-24
The wrong equipment can make wireless guitar freedom costly — lackluster tone, RF interference and unwanted feedback. World-renowned guitarist Michael “Fish” Herring, currently on tour with Christina Aguilera, has had those troubles — but not any more. Herring now uses Sabine’s new 2.4 GHz SWM7000 dual-channel wireless guitar system for his stereo guitars. “I’ve had problems with other wireless units before — the tone just wasn’t right and I couldn’t get too close to my amp without getting feedback,” comments Herring. “The Sabine wireless gives me the clear, more natural and open sound I want, and the built-in FBX Feedback Exterminator® has really made a difference with feedback!”
SWM7000 receivers are available in single and dual channel models and come with Sabine's built-in Targeted Input Processing, which includes the FBX Feedback Exterminator®, a compressor/limiter and a set of 10 parametric filters.
“It’s really a great system — the displays on the receiver and beltpack transmitters are easy to see, and the controls are easy to understand,” says Herring. “I have recommended the Sabine wireless system to several of my friends.”
SWM7000 beltpack transmitters set the new standard for wireless instrument applications. Extended low transmitter frequency response (20 Hz — 20 KHz) delivers the instrument’s full tonal quality to the soundboard. All transmitters are aluminum and built for heavy-duty applications, with controls hidden behind security covers. The transmitter on/off switch is programmable, and the antenna is hard rubber and integral to the case, making it almost impossible to break. Long-life rechargeable NiMH batteries power the SWM7000 transmitters and each transmitter has a built-in charger jack.
Operating in the globally license-free 2.4 GHz band and equipped with a universal power system, Sabine’s SWM7000 is set to handle the most rigorous touring schedule. “We had no problem finding clear frequencies in Australia and the setup was simple,” attests Herring.
A veteran in the music industry, Herring has performed with Prince, Siedah Garrett, Dru Hill, Johnny Gill, Sisqo and other musical talents. He joins the growing list of SWM7000 users that includes Platinum artists Trapt, the world-renowned Black Eyed Peas, legendary saxophonist Alto Reed, and the hard rock band Endo.
Herring also uses Sabine’s extremely road-worthy NEX5000 Chromatic Pedal Tuner. “I love Sabine’s pedal tuner,” states Herring. “It’s accurate and very easy to see when the stage goes black.”
