....What would be really nice would be to have a snap-on and a guitar
bug that transmit on the same frequency, so you could have a single
receiver that would work with both the loZ and hiZ inputs.
Two separate transmitters on the same frequency would not work. You must
mix the two audio signals before the transmitter input. OR..(more expensive)
you could have separate mic and guitar bugs on different frequencies and two
RF receivers.
I have a Sennheiser SK100 Belt transmitter, a tiny ME4 (electret condenser)
lapel mic, and an EM100 receiver. The transmitter has a line input on the
ring of a 1/8" stereo plug and a mic input on the tip.
I discovered that with some "creative" cable wiring that both inputs will
work together. I put my guitar signal into the line input and the mic into
the mic input. The audio signals are mixed and transmitted over the same RF
link. Sennheiser also has a headset mic that you can use.
I balance the relative gains of the guitar and mic using the control on the
guitar pre-amp. Then the overall gain can be controlled at the transmitter
(hi/lo sw), on the receiver (gain pot) or on the amp. This allows me to
play my guitar and sing or play Hands-Free-Chromatic harmonica while roaming
the stage or the audience.
The mic response is flat and hi-fi over a large range so you must supply
whatever distortion effects that you desire after the receiver in the base
mixer or amp.
It works great for me. I can supply details of how to wire the tranmitter
input cables.
