B-8 is the instrument wireless system re-defined, comprising a floor pedal receiver and a rechargeable transmitter pack. Operating on the 2.4GHz radio band, the B-8 offers a variable buffer to choose between higher reception stability or lower latency (as low as 2.5ms). The signal is encoded as 48kHz 24-bit digital for clean and detailed audio output. The receiver pedal is powered by an included 9Vdc power adaptor and serves as a charging station for the transmitter pack, which can also be charged via USB if required. The pedal also includes a full colour multi-function display and an inbuilt tuner with several different modes and settings. There is even an option to personalise the start-up screen with a custom GIF image or animation. A switchable Cable Tone function offers the option of adding the tonal character of using a long guitar lead. A send-return loop is included for inserting effects and sending the buffered output to an amplifier or D.I balanced output to a mixing console. To drive amps or effects with a stronger signal, the B-8 also has an adjustable boost function. B-8 is not simply a wireless system but a complete problem-solving tool for guitar or bass players and is also suitable other instruments, with features to meet the most demanding requirements in a wide variety of setups.
