Stated before, I think IEMS are actually more suited to pub situations than larger stages. (OK, not more suited cos they are suitable for all environments). Running with no back line and totally on IEM keeps the volume and bleed into the mics down and helps with the confines of space that you often get at such gigs. Your band will get a much better sound for the punters as soon as you ditch as much backline and do it all within the box so to speak. -
Wireless tends to chomp through AAs. In my wireless units, I tend to use Eneloops. I recharge for every gig. They have a life span of 3-4 hours. (EW500 (mics), ULXD (mics), PSM900 (IEMs), EW300 (IEMs)) Would be super pricey if using one time use. I started out with procells until I figured out how much it was costing and the environmental impact of binning batteries with 30% still left (but not enough to do a gig)

Magnets!

Latency in Groups 1 and 3 is 4.53ms (still on the high side) which paints a different story to the 8ms worst case scenario that the video mentions. Line6 battery life is decimated because of the output power that the transmitters work at. If you put it into low power mode, you'll find that it will more than service the needs of the average user of their systems. The use of active basses with wireless should have no impact.

This actually really surprises me to read. Having had correspondence with him (I quizzed him quite hard when he came to market), he seemed to know what he was doing, especially when he came to the choice of BAs and tuning.

Share some pics.

So why not the reshell of your MEE audios via lugs? That’s where I’d be going with your budget - You like the sound, they work for you. Would be proven and still cheaper than the s2. Dont do custom tips - I guarantee you’ll still want customs. Cut out that waste of money and go straight for the end game. It’ll be cheaper in the long run and put the biggest smile on your face.

A lot of channels - but can make life a lot easier in a way. Ofcom co-ordinate frequencies for such events outside of the typical shared mic licenses that are typically used. I'd wager they are all patched via Dante - all devices get plugged into a pair of routers (for redundancy) via ethernet. Way, way easier than messing with a spaghetti of cables. Everything is digitally routed with an ID, so you don't have to worry so much about plugging into the right socket. Just turn on the rig, plug in the two ethernet cables from the wireless rack into the main pair or routers, plug in the two cables for the mixing desk... patched. Also worth mentioning that the higher end wireless systems can run in high density mode (lower power, typically gives you 30m coverage (which is more than enough to get from the wireless receivers on the stage wings) - but gives you circa 8 channels per 1 mhz). For comparison in a 606-623 shared mic environment where you can typically deploy 12 (standard) wireless units, you are now looking at 136 channels of high density wireless. Pretty cool stuff.

“Hi, I’m @Jon Liebman, welcome to funk bass”
-
Not really - it's the rarity aspect, the wanting of a birth year bass, a slice of history etc... Going by your logic, nobody would buy or want vintage cars, or classic Ferraris (or other marques). Most modern cars can out perform the classics in every aspect... but these run of the mill modern cars will never have the same appeal or price tag of their classic cousins.

In 20 years time, try selling the two and see the price difference. Heritage counts for a lot.

Musicman experience here. Bizarre that they became stockists. Probably just after Musicman fixed all the issues… Its all part of the bass buying fun though.

Just remove a string. Problem solved.

As above. IEMS.

Am I alone in thinking that Comply tips are a super case study where the branding has won out over the actual product? I never had any luck with them... and then tended to fall apart. To be fair though, I never found anything that would stay in my ears - I don't know if thats because of the shape of my ears or not... but it was that that send me on my merry way down the customs route. Spintfits were my favourite - but again, silicone - so if silicone not anybody's bag, probably a bit of a non starter. Anyway, as you were.

Nah, he doesn’t have PR. I just sent him a message about it. Said he CBA to reply and doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage anyway. 😜

These folk do not owe you anything - and you shouldn't assume what pulls they may have on their time or reasoning for responding to, or not responding to your message. I think if I was a celeb, I would be very wary of responding to anything. You never know who people really are... or what associations may be presumed from such interactions.

Nup. Had to come back. With an EQ like that, I immediately thought we were being trolled by Fieldy. Anyway... Whilst we are at it, let's talk about "quality" drivers. There's only real two main players in the manufacturing of balanced armatures, Knowles and Sonion. Given that the vast majority of the leading brands of IEMs make use of Knowles and Sonion, it would also be worth pointing out that the drivers that are found in many Chinese IEMs are Knowles - and you may be interested to learn that the exact Knowles drivers found in KZ IEMs are commonly found in their more expensive custom counterparts too. Anyway, I'm just off to look at my mixer and try and understand what "20" is.

JTUK, is that you? In the interests of a balanced considered response, EQ by numbers mean nothing. You need to EQ with your ears, not by numbers. The last paragraph is quite something. Do you just want to slam it out on the desk and get a ruler out too?

Jeez. This escalated somewhat.

Anyone got a Phone number for DPD customer service ?

Glad you got a result -
