Five String Fretless Bass

I am a bassist that plays a fretless electric upright bass and sings background vocals in several bands. Because I have to look at my fingerboard regularly to check my intonation, it's hard to use a traditional stand-mounted mic. I got a Shure SM-35 headworn condenser mic (phantom power required), but needed a way to turn the mic off when I was not singing. After looking at several switches, I bought this one and used it at a gig last night. It worked exactly as advertised - no noise, no popping, no problems. The only issue I had was a difficulty plugging in the mic itself - the input on the Power Mute was very tight and it took a rather strong attempt to get the XLR connector in to make a good connection and locked. It could just need a break-in period, but that was the only problem I had with it.

I have 8 Sonos products throughout my house including a Sub gen 3 in my living room. I recently decided to purchase the Sub Mini to pair with a Five in my Dining room. The Dining room is rectangular (~15ft x 30ft). The Five is in one corner of the room at ear level. The stand alone Five sounds rich and fills the room almost perfectly (just the bass that can't quite fill the entire space). However, after placing the Sub Mini on the opposite end of the rectangular room, the whole space is now perfectly suited for dining - full of sound, but not loud. The Sub Mini filled the void of missing bass & is small enough to hide out of view (unlike the Sub gen 3). Perfect for certain situations like mine.

This was a replacement for a Five that was damaged in a move. The depth of sound and range of bass from the Five make it a nice upgrade from some of the smaller Sonos Speakers. While it can be paired easily with a subwoofer, I have found that they sound great without as well. I would highly recommend for those with larger spaces!

I added a Sub Mini and a second Five to my existing Five and it's like a whole new system. You almost don't notice at first that the Sub Mini is there until a bass heavy tune then it fills the room. It was perfect for our small living room, doesn't blow you out of the water.

I've set up 2 x Five speakers in my living room and a beam bar for the TV. When I play music I have all 3 speaker units synced up and the sound is absolutely amazing, such depth and clarity. The balance of high end frequency and bass lines are perfectly balanced. Seriously beautiful and amused friendly system. I will probably consider adding the incredible bass speaker to complete the sound set up down the track.
