Hi Raymond. I just heard back from CME’s Australian distributor. You get a pair for the price. RRP: AU$399.

Could someone let me know whether you get a PAIR of these boxes for your money, or just the one? The sales information is not specific on this crucial point; and, no, neither CME nor their agents seem to answer emails!

Recently Bought widi X8 in Mar ‘07.
The range is incredible and it follows my Yamaha WX-7 midi wind controller precisely.

Get this unit people!

[...] A number of you asked what happened to the competing WIDI line from CME. The answer is, simply, I don’t know; I haven’t seen a shipping version here in the US yet, and those of you who have ordered one haven’t seen it yet. I do notice that the WIDI standalone device looks a little clunkier. If any of you have ordered one and actually got it, let us know. (I also notice the CME looks a little clunkier than the new MidAir.) Until CME can actually ship their device, the M-Audio wins by forfeit. [...]

I ordered one too and am still waiting, WHEN WILL THIS SHIP? Emails to cme go unanswered! What’s the holdup? How many more months?

look like WIDI is an advertisement trick (“first” from CME :)

A much better name!
Sure, Widi sounds a bit like widdly, which isn’t ideal, but God knows it’s better than MidAir.

80m range would get you bodysurfing back to the mixing desk, on a good day…
