Blackstar launches AIRWIRE i58 wireless guitar system to compete in growing market

Blackstar has launched the AIRWIRE i58, a new wireless guitar system that promises less interference and fewer dropouts. It operates on the 5.8 GHz frequency, which is less crowded than the common 2.4 GHz used by many competitors. The AIRWIRE i58 features a switchable Cable Tone option, four channels, a 100-foot transmission range, and a battery life of nine hours. It is priced at $170, positioning it between Positive Grid's $129 LINK and Fender's $200 Telepath. Compared to its rivals, the AIRWIRE i58 offers superior performance with its frequency band and features. It is now available for purchase.
