Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?
dave_bass5 replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
I may just send the Lekato back and get the Boss again. I was worried about interference but i never actually had any issues with the ones i had before. I seem to be the only member of the new band that uses wireless so i do t think i have anything to worry about at the moment. -

Yeah, i have considered that. I too was wary about the Boss sticking out when i had it, but i never had an issue. It felt solid sitting on the frotn of the P bass. -

Had a rehearsal tonight with my P bass. Not impressed with how the transmitter sits. It’s fine on my Yamaha as the jack is side mounted, but there seems no where for it to lay flat on the P bass. Not a big deal, but i wish it was a bit smaller. -

I don’t think it’s a good idea to store them plugged in. The battery will drain until (maybe) the auto off kicks in. -

Gear4music have one in stock, but delivery is from Sweden so the cost is a bit higher than other places. -
USB interface for ipad with onboard amp sims?
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
Sorry, i was looking at the S1. I can see the P1 is cheaper but it’s seems it’s only at Bax for that price as far as i can tell. Nothing wrong with that of course. i can get the UR22-C for around £120, or used for £90. I’ll have another look at it though. -

Hmm, that does look rather cool, ive not seen that before, but price wise it's above the UR22-C so i don't think il bother. Cheers anyway. -

I used to have the Boss EQ-200. Thats a lot cheaper than the SA and has 128 memories. Only Graphic though. -

My immediate action would have been to Google it 😂 -

Yeah, i know what it is lol. It’s the EQ section from the preamp they brought out last year, but with added Q knobs. -

It has to be wired to work as an interface. I want to use Youtube. BT is not going to cut it. -
Anyone got/using one yet? I was thinking of getting a Q-Strip (again) but this is much cheaper. It lacks a lot of features, but those that i never used on my previous Q-Strip so does appeal to me. https://www.ibanez.com/eu/products/detail/pteq.html

Yeah, when my singer got her IE100’s (well, had mine), she commented that there was a slight drop in volume, but also that it was a more even sound so just turned up a bit. After a few rehearsals she said that she actually had them louder than her KZ’s, but could do so because it wasn't as painful.

Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?
dave_bass5 replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
Which version? I had both and preferred the guitar version at one point, then the full range one, then i think i went back i the guitar version as i found the full range one a bit clicky when using a pick. -
Yeah, i was mainly addressing the volume issue you mentioned rather than the IEMs themselves.
-
Well the clarity comes mostly from the mid range, so having a cleaner low end could allow that through. Low end uses a lot of power, I’d imagine even in IEM’s, so taming that could help you hear the bass a bit better and get louder. All our monitor mixes have a HPF applied and the clarity improvement is quite noticeable to me. Don’t forget all your mics will also be picking up the on stage sound and feeding that back to your IEM’s. Remember how everyone was jumping on the HPF fad a few years ago? Same principle applies here. Anyway, apologies for derailing things.
-
Could you put a small EQ unit between the Aux and the Xvive transmitter? Maybe not an option if they are headphone outs though.
-
Should add, Dawn uses the IE100 and Xvive and has never needed to max the volume out on the receiver. She has a full band mix in them. Maybe one thing you could try is to EQ a bit of low end out? Sometimes all that low energy can cloud things. Also, the fit is everything IME. Get a good isolation and you can hear things much clearer. Only now am i happy with how things are, and couldn’t get by without the memory foam tips.
-
Yep, the Sens only have one but seem more balanced than the 3 driver MEE’s i have, and also the KZ’s I’ve had. I’d guess there is only so much bass and low end your ear can take at higher levels, but having an extended harsh top end at high levels would be very uncomfortable.
-
I find that as well with my IE400 (and 100 before them). What i noticed is they are more balanced and so smoother sounding. Sometimes i wonder if they are loud enough as i do still hear they band a little. When i had the KZ’s briefly they did sound louder and more in your face (or ear). More noticeable i guess, but with too much high end to make them sound comfortable for me. I felt they were making their presence known more and not really blending in.

Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?
dave_bass5 replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
Had an almost 5 hour session with the LEKATO today. No issues whatsoever, although im the only one in this band using wireless. I could hear other bands rehearsing though so im sure there were other devices in use nearby. To be fair i never had any issues with the Boss system either when i had them (had both versions, and the guitar version twice). Only playing passive basses though. -

dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
Well its not the best product unless its a product you need, so ill take the hype with a pinch of salt. I mean, is it better than a Katana amp if you need an amp? 😂. Ive looked in to it and it looks great, but maybe not quite what im after. The way i see it (and i may be wrong), is that the bass would have to be connected to the ipad by a cable (from the unit). I also notice the app is not native to ipad, so id have to rotate the ipad, which means it wont stand up, plus it seems the orientation has to be with the USB port at the bottom, so it definitely wont stand up. Still looking, but i do appreciate this is a good device for those that need it.
