Oh wow. Going through Companies House and drawing comments on earnings and directorships... Case of mind your own beeswax.

That's a nice looking piece of kit - and some cool features - I particularly like the low power output option - should help keep the airwaves cleaner and help in the co-ordination of larger wireless deployments. The only thing that stands out for me is the comment - "96 receiver channels are available to provide mono or stereo operation as required." - I'm reading that as fixed selected frequencies ala the Shure PSM300 - which, I think, is what LD are gunning for. The ability to have complete control over the frequencies is a big plus for larger deployments. Keen to hear it... and conversely, know the price point. I'm thinking just under the PSM300... but lets wait and see.

That’s half the fun... its like motoring of yesteryear... you get in the car and you don’t know if you are going to reach your destination... likewise... you don’t know if it’ll make it through to end of the gig without smoke coming out from under the hood.

What is it that you are missing? The movement of air... or the volume?

That's very true... it's like the IEM thread - nobody reads from the start and goes in at the end... TLDR and all that.

No worries. Life's too short not to share knowledge. Can't take it with me.

Generally yes. Theres Ch70 and 2.4/5Ghz which are wide open - no guarantee that the airwaves will be free for you. Channel 38 required a license.- not guaranteed but more likely because the requirement of a license... Then there's fixed venue licenses - which are a set of licenses for frequencies that are allocated by Ofcom to a specific venue (typically theatres). These tend to be in the 700 range. Then there's on demand licenses - which are short term licenses for frequencies that are allocated to a location by Ofcom (larger venues/outdoor events). Again, these tend to be in the 700 range. The latter two licenses are what the pros are using. As you can imagine, for a touring band, theres a bit of work to do before hand to make sure licenses are in place way before you rock up.

I felt exactly the same way. All these bass rigs... utter nonsense. 🤨🤔😜

Still good to see that you seem to be still pleased with the decision! Yay!

I'm trying to do some man justification and man maths on this one... 😛

Agree... although there is the RCF M18... and that has 2.4/5 Ghz onboard wifi... that works!

External router required! That will solve connection and lag issues. Theres an independent mixer sw for Android. Think it’s called mix station or something like that.

Sounds like you are running a TRS in a TR socket. What headphone amp are you running or are you powering straight off the aux? Only reason I ask is on things like the P2, there’s a mono switch which basically takes any signal it gets, mono or stereo, and sums it so that the same signal gets applied to L and R on the headphone out. Why the loss of patience with the digital mixer?

But but but... white multi comp.

Its the beginning of an addiction...

Sad news indeed - only met him once - and he seemed like a great guy. Always enjoyed his posts on here. Best wishes.

Just ignore me. I'm just being stooooopid.

It will stave off the casual users and that's the source of the majority of the problems. As far as I am aware, phones still obey the hidden SSID regime (unless of course you install a scanner that discloses the SSIDs for you...) in the Wifi settings, so really simple to keep your wifi service more robust. In terms of being impenetrable, I wouldn't worry too much... the risk of any attacker getting access is super, super, super low.

They also have 4 feet... if you get my drift.

Most of it is to do with people trying to connect to a WiFi point in the hope of blagging free internet. The devices themselves can “see” the SSID but don’t disclose to the user that they are available. Thing is now, it’s becoming ridiculous because software writers now display SSIDS with something like “(hidden)” to the user, hence defeating the whole purpose of the flag.

It does have DSP based on what I know about the FR800 having looked at it in the past - but I can't remember if it's being used to make the cab linear from an EQ point of view... or to implement crossovers/hpf/lpf, I would have to investigate further.

Generally not - it's generally a proximity thing. As you've found out, most units will latch onto the strongest signal, however, if there is a nearby device(s) that causes intermodulation, you will be subject to that interference. Most people think that boosting the output power is the way to get around this... in reality, it's not that easy. For large scale deployments of wireless, it's all about using as weak a signal as you can, with co-ordinated frequencies. In the none pro world, wireless is complete chaos... and you take your chances. On the whole, you are going to be OK as long as there isn't too many wireless devices in close proximity to your receiver. Most people don't take their laptops down the pub... and because you tend to be the closest person to your wireless transmitter, you can more often than not, get away with it. The more clean channels you need though, the greater risk of interference as the space available in the rf spectrum is very quickly eroded. This is all part and parcel of the reason why all these 2.4Ghz are not common place on pro stages.
