Worry-free Wireless!

We wanted you to know that all of the wireless systems you see here – and all of the wireless systems available at Sweetwater – are 100% compliant with the Federal Communication Commission's new rules governing wireless systems. You can be confident that these systems will work within the FCC's currently permitted frequency/power ranges. Please be aware that systems operating in the 617-652 MHz or 663-698 MHz range are now operating outside the FCC's new guidelines. To find out more, visit the FCC's wireless microphone website at  www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones  or give them a call at (888) CALL-FCC.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Quality sound

We use it for speaking in a large room and the sound quality is really good with none of the rustling sounds we had using a lavalier microphone. There is no loss of sound when moving about the room and the batteries last a good while.
Rated 5/5

Product and Service is Great

I have always had good experiences with Sweetwater. Jon is my rep and does a great job - Thanks Jon! The product was basically plug and play, and is performing as it should.
Music background: Guitarist, keyboards, dabbler in most string instruments; been playing 50 years
Rated 5/5

Easy setup and excellent reception

Easily replaced an outdated receiver and the automated locate signal band & channel was "one button" easy.
