I love Sausage Rolls gets my vote... purely on the fact that it's raising money for food banks.... oh and to pee Chris Moyles off. What a t***. EDIT: Jarvis' is donating all money to Shelter. Game on now then.

If you put two aux channels into a single MEI1000, you can run the receivers in mono "focus" mode, where you effectively blend between the two signals... so if you blend 100% to aux mix 1, you'll only get mix 1 in your ears. Likewise, 100%to aux mix 2, you'd only get mix 2. You could get smart here though, and run the band on one aux, and singers on the other... so band members can effectively mix with a band bias, and vocalists with a vocal bias in their ears. Traditionally, use would use 2 auxes for a true LR stereo mix in your ears... but the above would result in mono in your ears... but has some flexibility in mixing without costing you any extra auxes or hardware. So off one transmitter, you can receive the signal it produces off as many receivers as you like.. and on those receivers, you can create a little submix to your liking. Alternatively, you could just have one or two mixes available to everybody and that's it... or one stereo mix that everybody shares. If you are buying two MEI1000s to run two mono channels, you are wasting your money on an extra transmitter... unless you want a backup of course.

Correct.

Not duplicating. If I recall, there are auxes available to patch even though there are only 2 xlr aux outs. Patch auxes 3 and 4 to the headphone out in routing. Powerplay - are you talking about the P16? If so, then no. You need Ultranet... which is only the XR18 desks(or X32 and Midas equivalents)

As in the aux bus.

Yes - I believe so in the 12 and 16

If it’s an analogue system, then it’s like a standard radio system... you have one transmitter and then everybody can tune into the transmission from that system... so in that case, your maximum number of receivers is pretty limitless! With digital systems, they are 1 to 1 - so a receiver pairs with a transmitter. What the xvive specs are saying is that they have 4 frequencies that they will operate on... so you can run 4 paired systems before running into interference issues. (Assuming nothing else is causing interference - like WiFi routers etc) 2. It depends if you want something that’ll do - or something that is approaching the quality of a cable.

Hopefully they will make it all worthwhile. I cannot imagine gigging without iems. When you get your UEs, be prepared to lose your mind! Best thing you can do for yourself and for your band.

Get some fuse wire and fashion your own hook. I've never in all my years of IEMs seen that before. Have you got really small ear canals? I must say, that it looks like the unit itself is pretty small - so would suggest you have small ears, or at least small concha. If you are wondering about "concha"...

How big is the wax cleaning tool? The ACS ones for example, are bigger than the ones that are generally supplied with acrylic IEMs. My ACS wax cleaning tools won't fit into my acrylic IEMs for example.

1 - Shouldn't do. Active/Passing is typically a pad/attenuator (depending upon your preferred terminology). All it's doing is turning the incoming signal down by a predetermined amount of dB. 2 - Ish. When you turn the volume down, you are basically sending some of your signal to ground, some to the amp. Treble more readily goes to ground. Hence, turning down the volume also has the impact of turning down the treble. Active wise, depends on what the circuit is doing. So yeah, you'll be turning down the signal... but you *may* be changing the tone too. This is largely more noticeable on guitars than bass though. 3 -- yes. Depends on your bass though. If you exceed the headroom on the input, it will start to clip. If you run an active bass into a passive input and it still doesn't clip, it's all good. Some basses for example, are so hot, if you were to run it into the passive input, you may still not be able to turn down the input pot enough to stop it clipping... or you may not have enough variance in the pot between clipping and no clipping if you are right on the edge of the pots travel. Hopefully this makes sense?

@dmccombe7 - I'm not really sure what I'm being asked?

Probably a very good reason for that.

Which IEMs have you got?

The left one yes. The right one has never registered with me. The left was the original yeah?

Great move! Enjoy

I haven’t seen half of these basses before! EDIT : there's only 3 basses I could save from a pawn shop sale after theft. The OBBM stingray, nobody really knows who owns it. It's a bit of a mystery bass. Probably been stolen and parted out now. 😜

The Red Gus, the OBBM Status and the striped Gafbass are the ones that are registering for me at the moment.

If you are referring to this one... then yeah.

I was just checking out the Vigier thread where @ped posted his Vigier. I've come to know that bass pretty well due to my mispent hours on basschat... but then it got me thinking... what are the basschat iconic basses... the ones that people instantly know who's it is as soon as people post a picture? Aka, "your bass has been nicked? - that wouldn't last long in a pawn shop without being reported to the owner" thread.

If you do measure, upload a pic where every pixel is illuminated white. I’m guessing that will give you an idea of real world draw - although I’m not sure what processing can be instructed to get an idea of a Nextion under load. Hmm. Sounds like you got plenty in the bag anyway - so as you say, nothing to worry about. In fact, I wouldn’t even bother testing it... plenty within tolerance.

Ha! That's a good point though. Whats the actual rating on the Mega in terms of powering external devices...? I guess if it doesn't stop... then jobs a goodun... I guess?

Doh I’m on a slow day. Yeah forgot the Mega got onboard. Yeah - my next comment is to take into account most pedal supplies are centre negative! Anyway, I’ll leave the above for anybody looking to drop voltage and use a standard psu for a nano (or similar)

7805 regulator with a couple of caps will drop your voltage so you can run at 9v off pedal board power supply of daisy chain off stomp power supply.
