NUX

collapse expand iconDescription

The NUX C-5RC 5.8GHz wireless guitar system allows you to liberate yourself from cables and experience a whole new level of wireless freedom. The 5.8GHz band tends to be less crowded than the 2.4GHz band, leading to fewer interferences from other devices when you play on stage or at home. Enhanced by the latest NUX technology innovation and upgraded algorithm, the C-5RC fits perfectly with all types of electric guitars, acoustic-electrics, bass guitars and ukuleles—no matter if they use active or passive, piezo or magnetic pickups. It delivers remarkable 24-bit audio quality, simple “plug in and play” operation, incredibly low latency (<5 ms) and a solid signal for distances up to 100 feet (30 m) in adequate conditions. The C-5RC also comes with a portable power case to keep the wireless units charged—ideal for when you are on the road.

Works great and the charging case is excellent!

This works really well. No dropouts and will last through a 4-hour show. Any longer than that and you may want to put it in the charging case during your break. The charging case is a great feature and it will charge the receiver and transmitter at the same time.

Great Product, However!

First!! Great Product!! like some for the Over all Quality for the Prices! its hard to beat. However, (i know right? Uh Oh?) yes? However? if your using a HIGH Gain system, you may Notice some Gain Reduction. similar to a Over compressed Signal from a Compressor or Limiter giving a "Spanky Clean Tone"

    I play for myself at home and being wireless let's me wander around furniture, use computer lessons or get to my printed guitar tabs without concern for tripping or getting tied up.

    4 hours is really pushing it as far as run time…and as your battery life decreases so does your tone as far as volume and gain.

  • This is a GREAT Wireless System

    I just received my NUX C-5RC and it works wonderfully and sounds awesome. This was a great choice. No interference or noise and sounds clean and clear. I really love the charging case it comes with. IF you have been on the fence, don't be as this is the one to get!!

    I have been noticing some intermittent signal loss with this product. The receiver and transmitter are only about 8 feet apart. I'm trying to figure out why they are not working well.

    These work right out of the box. No channels to mess with. I tested both guitar to pedal, as well as pedalboard to amp, and this works great! Will be keeping them!

    Will these work with the Spark 2 Amp? The review on these are much better than the Positive Grid spark link.

    Is the 5.8GHz the same as UHF?

    Is the 5.8GHz the same as UHF?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    No, 5.8GHz is not the same as UHF; while 5.8GHz is a specific frequency within the microwave band, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) refers to a broader frequency range spanning from 300MHz to 3GHz, which includes 5.8GHz within it; essentially, 5.8GHz falls under the UHF category on the electromagnetic spectrum.

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. That would depend on what's wrong. The battery can't be replaced.

    Hello. On stage I switch back and forth from an acoustic guitar with an active pickup and an electric with no active pickup. I use 2 separate channels in the mixing board, 1 for each guitar. I plan on purchasing 2 of the C-5CRC systems. Will I be able to run both of these simultaneously without any interference from one another? Thank you in advance.
