Donner CV-2 PRO Wireless Condenser Microphone Transceiver

I really love this for my microphones. I have an assortment of microphones and not all of them are wireless. This transmitter and receiver is perfect for when we need to eliminate the clutter for a certain service. The pair is easy to use and it has excellent range. I'm amazed that it can also supply phantom power to condenser microphones. As far a durability goes, these things are built tough. They also come with a little storage case so they're always ready to go. Battery life is excellent, we can go multiple services without having to recharge. Speaking of which, they are rechargeable! There's no hassle of dealing with batteries.

This Donner CV-2 is a really useful little system if you already have wired XLR microphones you like and do not want to replace them just to go wireless. Plug the transmitter into the microphone, the receiver into your mixer or audio interface, pair them up, and you have a wireless XLR connection without changing the rest of your setup.The biggest feature for me is the 48V phantom power support. A lot of these small wireless XLR adapters are fine with dynamic microphones but become much less useful when you want to run a condenser mic. Having phantom power built into the transmitter gives this system considerably more flexibility.Sound quality is very good, and I did not notice any distracting delay while using it. The advertised 24-bit/192kHz specification looks great on paper, but what matters more to me is that the connection sounds clean and does not make the microphone feel noticeably different from using an XLR cable.The 2.4GHz connection has also been stable for normal use. As with any 2.4GHz wireless device, the environment matters because Wi-Fi and other equipment share that spectrum, but it works well when properly set up.Battery life is good with a normal dynamic mic. Just keep in mind that enabling 48V phantom power reduces the rated runtime significantly, which makes sense because the transmitter is now supplying power to the microphone too.I also like that the system supports multiple channels. That makes it possible to build out a larger wireless microphone setup without having several completely different systems.Overall: This is a very practical wireless XLR system that lets you keep using microphones you already own. The 48V phantom power support, clean audio, low latency, rechargeable batteries, and compact design make it useful for karaoke, live sound, recording, rehearsals, and PA systems.

Have two sets of these and have to say they are well worth the money for clear sound and range. Use at karaoke events and my singes love them to use in their own mic's if they bring them.

A Clever Wireless XLR System With Built-In Phantom PowerThis review is for the Donner CV-2 Pro Wireless XLR Microphone Transmitter and Receiver.The feature that initially gets my attention with the CV-2 Pro is the built-in 48V phantom power. The previous version CV-2 doesn't offer this. I have both dynamic and condenser microphones, and being able to use either type without running an XLR cable back to the mixer or PA makes this considerably more versatile than a wireless XLR system intended only for dynamic microphones.Donner is also an established musical-instrument and audio brand rather than an unfamiliar name selling a generic wireless adapter. The CV-2 series has been around for a while, while this Pro version adds phantom-power capability for condenser microphones. I've seen the CV-2 used gigging before and I'm guessing this is pretty much the same product with added phantom power.The system operates on 2.4 GHz and Donner specifies 24-bit/192 kHz audio, latency of 5 ms or less, approximately 100 feet of range, and support for up to six systems at the same time. Those are impressive specifications for something this compact, although I don't have laboratory equipment to independently verify the 24-bit/192 kHz transmission specification or exact latency. I can say that it did carry 100ft without issue during testing.One limitation worth knowing about is battery life when using phantom power. Donner rates the system for up to around 8 hours under normal use, but only about 2 hours with 48V phantom power enabled. That's a pretty substantial difference and something I would consider before relying on it with a condenser microphone for a long session or performance. I didn't get the full 2 hours from phantom power so results may vary I guess.

It works! This is quite the simple set up, pretty much hook up the transmitter into your mic and the receiver into your source, which could be mixer board speaker that has an XLR input and then instantly you have a wireless microphone. Pretty much you just choose a normal microphone that does not require 48 phantom power and then you are good. There was no interference. I have nothing but good things to say.As well, it came with a very nice case with two slots for each, both the transmitter and the receiver portion and keeps it nicely.Everything came through clean working fine for these reasons I give it a five star rating.

I was very surprised by what I really got when I got this. I was thinking I needed a receiver, but it has one. So, to test this I connected an XLR Mic to the transmitter, then connected an XLR cable to the receiver and plugged the cable into my standard guitar amp. Now you can hear me at the end of the video.So, my point in my test was to test the ability of the set to work, and it did perfect, so I can take this Donner set with me and my guitar and amp and I have my own little one man band.I am a fan of Donner and this work great right out of the box and it uses a standard USB-C charging cable. I was surprised with how easy the transmitter and receiver connected, just a push of the power button, and it worked.Donner has another happy customer.My use for this is simple, mostly at gatherings with my friends, so my testing was to that ability.

I got this wireless XLR transmitter and receiver expecting a convenient way to cut down on cables. What I got was a surprisingly useful little setup that lets me move around with a microphone without dragging a cable across the stage like I’m setting up an obstacle course.The system supports both condenser and dynamic microphones, and the 48V phantom power is a major plus for condenser mics. That makes it much more versatile than a basic wireless adapter that only works with one type of microphone. Plug it into a mixer, PA system, camera, or other compatible audio equipment, and it gives you a lot of flexibility for live performances, presentations, rehearsals, and recording setups.The 24-bit/192kHz audio support helps keep the sound clear, while the approximately 5ms latency is low enough that I didn’t feel like my voice was arriving fashionably late. The 2.4GHz connection was straightforward to use, and the six available channels are helpful when you’re working with multiple wireless units or trying to avoid interference.The advertised 100-foot range is especially useful for larger rooms, small venues, and stage setups. Of course, walls, other wireless devices, and the general laws of physics can affect the actual range, but within a reasonable setup, it gives you plenty of freedom to move around.Is it going to make every venue sound like a perfectly treated recording studio? No. This transmitter cannot defeat bad acoustics, questionable gain staging, or the person who insists on standing directly in front of the speaker. But for anyone looking for a flexible wireless XLR solution with low latency, clear audio, phantom power, and multiple channels, this is a very practical addition to a live audio setup.Just be warned: once you stop tripping over microphone cables, you may start noticing all the other things onstage waiting to trip you.

This XLR wireless transmitter/receiver kit is fantastic. I know that it's marketed for turning a wired mic into a wireless but I used it to connect speakers. They allowed me to remotely connect a third speaker that I didn't want to route a 100ft cable to as it needed to go across too many foot paths and didn't want to deal with taping it down to the carpet and ruining it. It didn't generate any static, and no noticeable delay between that speaker and the others, and no drop in quality. My total testing range was only about 50 ft, so I can't confirm if it can actually reach 100ft. I'd be surprised if they can, honestly, but that's all right. Simple USB-C charging ports.I also didn't mess with changing channels, they were set and paired together which was good enough for me!
