The Damned at NX Newcastle on Wednesday night. My favourite line up (Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Paul Gray, Rat Scabies) playing a set largely of songs from my favourite Damned albums (The Black Album. Machine Gun Etiquette, Strawberries). The sound wasn't great but enjoyed the show.

If I recall correctly, they were definitely a step up from the UE6 in terms of definition but less than I expected. They weren't bad, but I found the A4s to provide better separation between different instruments when listening to the same sound source.
-
I've got the A4s. I demoed them v UE6's and UE11's before buying. Fit and sound quality are both excellent as you would expect. They have plenty of bottom end headroom but the low end is certainly not overpowering. The learning curve for me has been to lower the volume of my backline and apply a high pass filter to my bass in my IEM's. I'm happy with the results so far but feel that I can improve the sound of my bass in my IEM's with a little more experimenting, rather than any issue with the A4s.

In very good condition as home use only. Dimensions: 765mm (W) x 490mm (D) x 45mm (H) I don't have the original box however this will be well packaged for shipping. Price: £65 includes UK postage, or £50 for collection from South Shields. -
Our FoH is mono and not panned. Stereo IEM's will usually require 2 Aux Out channels per IEM mix unless you send the signal via an Ethernet cable. Our Presonus desk has 6 Aux Out channels. Two are used to give the drummer a stereo IEM mix and one to give the singer a mono floor monitor feed. We use a Cat5 Ethernet cable from a separate out from the desk to a Presonus Earmix mini mixer for the guitarist. We then run another Ethernet cable from his Earmix to mine. Both Earmix's get the same stereo feed from the desk but we can then set volume and eq separately on each Earmix and output a different stereo mix to our IEM's from these.
-
I stand out front during the sound check to listen without my IEM's in and we adjust FoH sound accordingly. It doesn't get changed unless someone alerts us to an issue or we become aware ourselves. The key is staying disciplined and not tweaking FoH settings mid set.
-
Our guitarist used an Xvive U4s before switching to the Sennheiser to get a stereo iem feed, and because he was experiencing frequent momentary drop outs with the Xvive.
-
Our guitarist uses the same system and has the same experience. I've been wireless for my bass since the old Nady systems were around, so going wired for my IEM's would defeat the purpose of that. I'd be interested to see if Sennheiser release an IEM product for their EW-D series that might be better. The analog G4 and Shure psm900 systems are a bit too expensive to take a punt on for the amount of gigs I do.
-
Is anyone else using a Sennheiser XSW IEM wireless system? If so, have you experienced any problems with occasional white noise/static interference when playing and how did you manage to avoid it? I do a frequency check on the receiver to make sure it is not picking up anything else before playing and there is clear line of sight between receiver and transmitter which is normally about 2-3 metres away. I'm not getting signal dropouts but the interference is unpleasant and distracting. Last weekend was worse than previously so I'm hoping someone can provide advice on what to do. Any suggestions welcome. 🙏

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2024?
gazhowe replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best: Boss Waza Air Bass - sounds great and has changed the way I practice. So much so that I've now got a very nice Berg cabinet at home that is essentially now just a stand for other stuff. Worst: No poor quality items but I bought a Torpedo CAB M+ that I quickly realised I didn't need and moved on at a loss. -
If you want a rechargeable bug-type system (i.e. no lead to transmitter pack) I prefer the Sennheiser xsw-d pedalboard set over the Line 6 G10s and Boss WL transmitters as the bug on the Sennheiser can fold to less than 90 degrees from the jack so it doesn't stick out as much. I've used both types with my Stingrays. The Sennheiser has a built in tuner on the pedalboard receiver and is built like a tank. Of the jack>lead>transmitter systems the Shure GLXD16+ system get lots of positive reviews and has a tuner on the receiver. I'm using a Sennheiser EW-D system at the moment and it's very good but it's a half-rack type receiver with no tuner.

We average 30-35 gigs per year. I suspect that will reduce from 2025 onwards due to a combination of health issues, family commitments and holidays.

Price reduced to £120, including UK delivery. 2.4 GHz digital transmission for worldwide operation 75m range (250ft) in optimal conditions Built-in tuner Up to 5 hours battery life on a single charge Mute from either transmitter or receiver -
i haven't tried the JH11 but it may be worth considering the 64 Audio A4s. I found them to have better definition/clarity than the UE6 and they are cheaper than the JH11 with a similar driver spec.
