High Pitched Wind Instrument

The CyberPower UPS started making a high-pitched whining noise. It seemed that the battery had no more life in it so I replaced it with this replacement cartridge from B&H. It is now working again and I hope to get another 5-6 years out of it. It didn't come with a way to recycle the battery so I'm hoping to find somewhere local to dispose of the old battery pack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect 3-in-1 charging stand. I’ve used others in the past that have made a very high pitched sound when charging, but this one is completely silent. It charges my phone, AirPods, and watch extremely fast compared to other charging stands I’ve used. It’s also super sleek and looks great on my nightstand!

Placed inline between dbx zonepro 640 outputs and QSC amplifier that was having a high pitched buzz from dirty 120v electric plug. Buzz gone as soon as these were plugged in

Just a wonderful CYC light. We ordered 5 and unfortunately one of the 5 gave off a hideous high pitched screech when powered on. Contacted customer support and they have sorted everything out as our replacement has just arrived. Overall extremely happy with the product.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

This is a high quality optical instrument. It is clear and bright with sharp focus and built to last!!! Easy to use with glasses. I use it when walking and hiking to watch hawks and small wildlife.

The E-5 is a wonderful instrument to use and enjoy. The image quality is simply outstanding at low and at the reasonably high 1600ISO level. The tank like camera build is easily noticed when first handled, and I am certain the cameras ruggedness and weather resistance will be appreciated with harsh environment outdoor use. I also feel the 100% FOV viewfinder is one of the best and brightest viewfinders I've seen among the E-5 competitors, from any camera maker. A real joy to shoot with. The one area the E-5 will never be considered excellent at, is with the image noise levels at the very highest ISO's above 3200ISO, and that's fine by me, as long it can exceed the competition in IQ at reasonable levels. Which the E-5 certainly does...

How does the radial R8001125 (ProRmp) (it converts a line level signal to a instrument level signal?) differ from the HOSA MIT435? Is it correct that a device using and sending a line level signal (like a mixer) is also referred to as a low impedance device (low Z)? Is it also correct that a device using and sending an instrument level signal (like a guitar effects pedal) is also referred to as a high impedance device (high Z)? In other words, a guitar pedal expects a high impedance signal as well as sends a high impedance signal. I'm getting confusing answers.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

Fine instrument, does what it should do and more. I recommend it.
