The G90 RXR12 from Line 6 is a 14-channel rack-mountable receiver. It is one of the units which comprise the Relay G90 system in general, but is available for separate purchase here, as it is also compatible with V75-HHTX, V70-HHTX, V55-HHTX, V35-HHTX, V30-HHTX, V75-BP, V70-BP, V55-BP, V35-BP, V30-BP, Relay G90, G50, and G30 bodypack transmitters. Its intended use is to facilitate the setups of guitar players who wish to free themselves from cabling, doing so by connecting their guitar to a transmitter which would, in theory and practice, communicate their signal to the receiver while mitigating any tonal problems that wireless communication throughout the airwaves might impart upon the sound.
The device utilizes an LCD screen which plainly displays battery life data, active channel numbers, transmitter names, and antenna signal strength. LEDs on the front of the device illustrate the level of incoming audio signal, as well as the duration of battery life. LEDs also provide an accurate meter for RF, showing differing colors to indicate signal interference. A combination of a channel-select button and an edit knob allow you to switch between channels of incoming signal, while a cable-tone button offers you the ability to simulate the capacitance properties of differing guitar-cable lengths.
The unit comes with G90-series 2.4 GHz rubber antennas, which connect to the RXR12 via BNC connections. Additional BNC outputs can be used to daisy-chain the RXR12 to additional RXR12s, if that is your wish. A 1/4" output can be used to connect the receiver to amplifiers and effects, while a balanced XLR output allows you to route signal into mixing consoles, PAs, and more. A separate tuner output allows you to hook into outboard tuning units. The unit will take up 1 RU of space in any standard rack.
