Is SonikSphere NEO built for reliable live guitar and bass use?

Yes. SonikSphere NEO is CFG’s second-generation 5.8 GHz wireless system for guitarists and bassists who want dependable performance, over 10 hours of battery life, under 2.5 ms latency, and 24-bit / 48 kHz audio.

It runs outside the crowded 2.4 GHz band and adds 6 color-coded channels, battery-level bars on both units, and a built-in -10 dB PAD for active, piezo, and other high-output instruments.

Plug the transmitter into your instrument and the receiver into your amp or pedalboard, choose a channel, and play without the cable under your feet.

Why choose SonikSphere NEO?

SonikSphere NEO is built for players who want dependable 5.8 GHz wireless, long battery life, very low latency, and clean 24-bit / 48 kHz audio.

  • Designed for dependable live use: 5.8 GHz operation keeps your instrument signal outside the crowded 2.4 GHz band used by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and plenty of everyday wireless gear.
  • Over 10 hours per charge: Enough battery life for long rehearsals, gigs, worship sets, and practice sessions without constantly watching the clock.
  • Under 2.5 ms latency: Keeps the response fast and natural while you play.
  • 24-bit / 48 kHz audio: Wide 10 Hz-22 kHz frequency response for clear, full-range guitar and bass sound.
  • Built-in -10 dB PAD: Helps control hotter signals from active, piezo, and high-output instruments before they overload the wireless input.
  • Easy to manage on stage: 6 color-coded channels, battery bars on both units, and black-transmitter / silver-receiver identification make setup quicker and clearer.


How does SonikSphere NEO sound compared to a guitar cable?

SonikSphere NEO uses 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio with a 10 Hz-22 kHz frequency response, designed to keep your guitar or bass sounding natural while you play wirelessly.

The frequency-response comparison and cable-vs-NEO video below let you see and hear the difference for yourself.

How do SonikSphere NEO’s channels and -10dB PAD work?

NEO gives you 6 color-coded wireless channels plus a built-in -10dB PAD for hotter active, piezo, or high-output instruments.

Switching channels

Press the Action Oval button on the transmitter to cycle through red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and cyan. Once paired, the receiver follows the transmitter’s selected channel.

When using multiple NEO systems in the same room, give each pair a different channel.

Using the -10dB PAD

Start with the PAD off. Turn it on if an active, piezo, or high-output instrument sounds overloaded, harsh, or digitally distorted.

The PAD lowers the transmitter input level by 10dB before the signal is processed. It is not a tone control and does not boost quiet instruments.

SonikSphere NEO FAQ

Does SonikSphere NEO work with guitars and basses?

Yes. SonikSphere NEO works with electric guitars, electric basses, and acoustic-electric instruments that use a standard 1/4-inch mono instrument output.

Does SonikSphere NEO work with active pickups and piezo systems?

Yes. It works with passive, active, magnetic, and piezo pickup systems. Use the built-in -10dB PAD if an active, piezo, or high-output instrument sounds overloaded or digitally distorted.

What frequency band does SonikSphere NEO use?

SonikSphere NEO operates at 5.725-5.825 GHz in the 5.8 GHz ISM band, keeping your instrument signal outside the crowded 2.4 GHz band used by many Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other everyday wireless devices. NEO also uses FHSS interference mitigation.

Is there noticeable delay while playing?

SonikSphere NEO has under 2.5 ms latency, designed to keep the response fast and natural while playing guitar or bass.

Will SonikSphere NEO change my tone?

SonikSphere NEO uses 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio with a 10 Hz-22 kHz frequency response, designed to keep your guitar or bass sounding natural while you play wirelessly. The frequency-response comparison and cable-vs-NEO video above let you hear the difference for yourself.

How long does the battery last?

SonikSphere NEO provides over 10 hours of continuous use per charge. Battery bars on both the transmitter and receiver show the remaining charge.

What is the wireless range?

SonikSphere NEO has a range of up to 100 ft / 30 m with clear line of sight.

Can I use more than one SonikSphere NEO system at the same time?

Yes. Up to 6 NEO pairs can be used at the same time on separate color-coded channels. Give each pair its own channel.

How do the 6 color-coded channels work?

Press the Action Oval button on the transmitter to select red, green, blue, yellow, purple, or cyan. Once paired, the receiver follows the transmitter’s selected channel.

When should I turn on the -10dB PAD?

Start with the PAD off. Turn it on if an active, piezo, or other high-output instrument sounds overloaded, harsh, or digitally distorted. The PAD lowers the transmitter input level by 10dB before processing. It is not a tone control and does not boost quiet instruments.

Where should I connect the receiver?

Connect the silver receiver to a guitar or bass amp input, pedalboard input, amp modeler input, or audio interface instrument input. Do not connect it to a speaker output, XLR microphone connection, stereo headphone output, or other non-instrument-level connection.

Will the swivel plug fit my instrument?

The 270-degree swivel plug fits most straight, side, angled, and many recessed guitar and bass jacks. Deeply recessed, crowded, or acoustic endpin jacks may need a short 1/4-inch TS extension cable or the CFG Air Pocket transmitter holster.
