Accessories NUX B6 pro wireless mic system?

[h4yn0nnym0u5e]

I have now had to bin it.

Not literally, I hope - waste electronics should be properly recycled 🙂 (we put ours in a box and take it on the next tip run, along with flat batteries etc; I always forget to take those to the supermarket ). In which case…

Probably just needs a bit is dexterity with a knife, and eBay

…if you don’t want to do it, I’m happy at least to try to get the thing open and see what might be needed.

they manage their battery health and charging system a lot better than most consumer devices.

Personal experience suggests this is true. After 3 years ours has maybe dropped 5-10% in capacity. Hard to tell, because the claimed range at 100% charge varies with recent driving style and weather. I don’t think we’re likely to need to claim on the warranty of 70% capacity after 8 years, anyway.

It’s probably helped by the fact that the battery truly is a battery, not the single cell found in most devices. I’d guess that they can mitigate against the failure / degradation of individual cells out of the 192 in the pack, so one doesn’t experience the catastrophic failure that happens when the one cell in your microphone, phone etc. gives up the ghost.

Apparntly the xvive u7 has more choice of frequency.. I bought a i solo prime used as the receiver is 240v so only the mic to charge. Bought a back up mic from them for 120 gbp inc postage import delivery. Very happy with it.

I find it hard to believe the battery couldn't be replaced

About as I'd expect...

Like changing pads, no big deal if you're used to that kind of thing.

Does the receiver have a battery too..

…which I am 😎 Though I’d far rather work from some words and photos than a YouRube video 😡

Would it not be covered under the warranty

only if it's out of warranty

Opening something like that would void the warranty.

Pha! Just use the video to order a cell - from a reputable supplier like RS... Then wing-it!

Wow, that's more than a little poor! Having to buy a whole new system because of the battery is outrageous.

I've had mine for over 3 years and no problem.

Got B6 just over 2 years ago. Great piece of kit and it performed well on gigs sometimes up to 2.5 hours long several times a week. However, over past few months the battery life on the microphone transmitted has significantly reduced to the extent now that a full charge barely lasts 15 mins. I have now had to bin it. I have bought another one, I hope this one lasts longer then the last, if not I will need a rethink

Sounds like just a bad one that you got, or maybe the charge contacts got dirty and you get the full charge in the case battery but it won't charge the transmitter. I'd check that first, had a similar issue on some Klipsch ANC earbuds and it was just dirt.

The Pro model beats me, like you trade in functionality for eye candy and pay twice for it. I mean, I can see where the 5.8G band can be beneficial but even that sounds more like a marketing / satisfy the shareholders move. If they had maintained the same form factor and used a Bluetooth interface to the phone to add EQ and compressor, that would have made more sense to me and it's been done on hearing aids already so it should have been an easy implementation.

Nah, fleaBay’ll do it for me And yes, I’d wing it if it were my kit and I couldn’t find an example

maybe the charge contacts got dirty

…they’re soldered

D'UH I know, LOL.

But they have to make contact with their counterparts in the battery case, that's what I was referring to. Take some rubbing alcohol and q-tip and clean both the case and the transmitter contacts and see if it makes a difference.

 

[h4yn0nnym0u5e]

Guess the switch contacts (if any) might need a clean, but judging by the video the battery leads are soldered directly to the PCB - no plug / socket involved.

Here’s this afternoon’s project, with the traditional coin (diameter 25.91mm…) for scale:

5 leads to the microphone (circled in green), and a decoupling capacitor (blue).

Has anyone got any ideas on where to buy a new transmitter for the B6, I foolishly left mine at a gig and now can't use the mic at all!!
Many thanks

Think you will have to buy a new mic

I got the B6 Pro recently, used it for the 1st time at a large out door festival. Worked great, sounded good, it’s a pleasure not to deal with cables. I like the stomp box, it’s good to have a mute switch as well as the tuner. We will see how it holds out over time.

Just a new receiver may not work, because it needs to recognize the ID of the transmitter. There is a good chance that you may "re-pair" it with the existing transmitter through a "firmware-update" over the USB interface but you would need the exact instructions from NU-X how to do it.

Not into electronics, thought you might have to re-pair them but didn't know the difficulty in this procedure.
