Back in April I got the alto stealth setup. It came in 600+ mhz range, called Alto and they exchanged it at no cost for a 570mhz range unit. I even used the first one at a gig before returning it.
That first gig was a tent wedding and I wanted to test the stealth - so I ran one speaker off a wire as usual and the other was on the far side of a door way so used the stealth. Worked fine, never had an issue.
Used it at another gig just for fun once the 'new' unit came in.
Yesterday was the first 'need' to use it, outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. 90+ heat.
I used one yamaha dxr for the ceremony run wirelessly from a laptop near the ceremony location (a pergola about 100 yards behind the hall). I was again using one 'channel' of the stealth for a speaker in the hall, again to avoid running extra long wires along the edge of the dance floor.
As such the inside speaker was playing the ceremony 'broadcast' - 100 plus yards and through a wall, and the recevier was on the 'far side' of the speaker making the signal that much more 'blocked'. Reception was fine except when someone went through the door - open/close caused some static and drop out . Since there was no point to inside music (only the bridesmaids were in there before the ceremony) it wasn't an issue - but did allow them to hear the music (aka cues).
(after the ceremony I moved the transmitter back inside for the night).
Only thing I noticed was the speaker on the stealth was a touch louder than the wired one. Not sure why, didn't notice this at the first wedding with the 600mhz stealth. Easy enough to adjust the volume (at the speaker or on the transmitter).
If you need wireless speaker capability I can recommend the alto stealth whole heartedly.
