Yup - for those wondering - it says the loading on the back... and from the front, if the lettering is black on the bottom band across the bottom of the amp, it's the 4 Ohm version... otherwise if white, it's 2 Ohm (assuming the power board hasn't been replaced at any point in its life.)

Train them with an optigate. If they aren’t close enough, the mic doesn’t turn on. Simple. (although not too great if they are the lead vocalist)

Just an extra note on vocals - what’s far more important than anything, is vocalist technique. To avoid bleed, if you can get your vocalist to eat the mic - literally having their lips touching the grille, not only will you get a warmer sound from then, you’ll get less bleed. its a challenge to get vocalists to do it if they don’t already, but you’ll be amazed how much evening tightens up in the mix if you fix the most problematic inputs. (Especially things like cymbal bleed and general ambience which makes everything sound thin and tinny. It’s great having “air” on your main vox - but a nightmare if they aren’t using the mic properly)

You want shielded for an unbalanced instrument cable. -

It’s worth doing properly as two cables lashed together each with the protective rubber sheath on tend to get overly heavy and not very flexible very quickly. -

The links are all in the opening posts - but admittedly, this one was out of date. If you are handy with soldering, heres the cable you need - https://www.sommercable.com/en-gb/Instrument-Cable-TRICONE-SYMASYM-1-x-2-x-0-14-mm2-PVC-11.3-x-11.3-mm-black/301-1101#neonCfg=pulength::pu100 -

Bite block every time. Only folks that shouldn’t use a bite block are audiophiles who want to just sit still in a chair and get lost in the music or whatever they do. -

Maybe I'm a bit of a wrongun, but having ear impressions taken makes me go all gooey :P. Love it. -
Compression is very commonly misused on live mixes - and really can make stuff sound bad if you don't know what you are doing. The "wizard" settings, are usually just a starting point assuming you have correct gain staging and EQ. The vast majority of folk haven't got that latter point right... so the whole thing cascades into a mess. As they say, less is more.

It needs to be run at 2 Ohms.

EBS_freak started following Keep or replace EBS HD350?

I wouldn't necessarily ignore the Reidmar. Yes, it's not going to win any prizes for the nicest looking amp - but sonically it pretty much apes what the HD350 - without the weight.

Kills you in the end doesn't it?
