Tips & Warnings
You can substitute cables with different lengths to suit individual setups.
Purchase the highest quality cables you can afford to prevent or limit noise, frequency signal loss and radio frequency, or RF, interference.
For best results, follow all manufacturer's recommendations for setting receiver volume levels and unit placement.
Guitar cables of excessive length may inhibit high-end frequencies and cause wireless transmission issues.
