Line 6 has made improvements to its XD-V75 digital wireless system by introducing the new Relay V75-SC digital wireless handheld microphone/transmitter with super-cardioid capsule, plus Line 6 released updates to the XD-V55HS, Relay G90, Relay G50 and Relay G30 digital wireless systems. Featuring 24-bit audio quality, 10Hz–20kHz frequency response and a wide dynamic range of up to 118dB (A weighted), the Relay V75-SC promises a performance equal to a wired microphone. Line 6 is also sticking with offering microphone modeling – a concept that everyone else thought kind of faded away a few years back – with four microphone models available at the press of a button including the Shure Beta58A, Electro-Voice N/D767, AKG D5 and… the “original” Line 6 super-cardioid microphone (that last one feels like a bit of a cheat). Regardless of whether they sound like the real thing, the instant switch could allow you to choose the mode to match your voice, performance style and venue. Updates for the XD-V55HS digital wireless system include a tan headset option. The Relay G90, Relay G50 and Relay G30 get a free v2.0 firmware update with various performance tweaks.
