  1. I think there's a fair few rebranded options of the same thing! (par for the course with Ali!)
  2. This. Digital mixers are cheap for what they do. Digital mixers aren't cheap when you factor in all the things to make them work. Digital mixers aren't cheap if you are only using them to mix a few channels and make no use of any of the DSP. If there are people that are fairly clueless, the ability to pull a slider down when the system goes into uncontrollable feedback is a more appealing feature than unlocking and faffing with a tablet. This is why things like the A&H are more appealing to a lot of people... but at the cost. The Zoom is probably that crossover sweetspot.
  3. Yes - could be proximity of some transformers to those outputs thats putting noise on the line.
  4. Hmm, this sounds like a EM and lack of shielding within the unit issue.
  5. And you've checked the power connection is seated properly?
  6. What else is plugged into the mixer? Does it still make a noise when you have got just the mixer plugged in and nothing else apart from the U4?
  7. I can't actually remember the last time I used backline.
  8. Ah yeah, it wont give your the aux on feed on the mic. Sorrrreee....
  9. Theres a certain amount of ego that you set out to bring your own signature to market. (Note how he's approaching the manufacturers, not the other way around). Get a custom instrument built, end of - 10:20 - like most normal people.
  10. LOL, I remember Alex having a pop at me about requiring more than one cab... yet here we are. I love that Matamp!
  11. It depends... because the output impedances and capacitance of guitar/bass pickups are not comparable with mics, so the losses are different... plus you are looking at the balanced vs unbalanced questions, so the introduction of noise on a balanced connection is not a concern... unlike that of the unbalanced connection for the guitar/bass.
  12. Love a good modular rig! This was before the days I dumped it all for ampless IEM setup. Funnily enough, I much preferred the HD350 to the TD650. I dont know why, just sounds better to my ears. If I was still needing amps, I would defo be looking at the EBS lump you got. Mind you, I've still got all this gear so... moot point!
  13. The detail will be down to the Balanced Armatures compared to the dynamics of the AT.
  14. Agreed - that's why I do such things whilst watching TV. If you are going to burn time in front of the idiot box, you may as well get something productive out of it. For the less than 10 minutes to make a reliable speaker cable (I reckon I could make one in less than 5) - it seems a good investment to support the knowledge that your gear is good to go. But maybe that's just me.
  15. As above, make them up yourself... but I would recommend H07RN-F cable (2 core). Once you've used that cable, you'll want to use it for everything, super flexible, no kinks in your cables, easy to coil for transport... and lies flat on stage. Brilliant stuff.
  16. 24-bit 48 kHz digital systems means that you are running above CD quality (16 bit 44.1 kHz). It's pretty safe to assume that, especially in a gigging situation, you'd be hard pushed to hear any subtle nuances in the A<>D conversions. Given the fact that the delivery medium is likely to be digital, or through a digital desk, you are going to be converting to 24-bit 48kHz at some point... even if you are lucky to have a 96kHz desk, if you are using wireless, you've already downsampled to 48kHz at some point in your bass chain (although having said that, a few 96kHz systems are beginning to crop up). There's quite an interesting (it's not) debate to be had about 48kHz vs 96kHz, - streaming from handling of transients, anti-aliasing etc etc... In reality, I suspect the reality of what most people can hear, it's a moot point. The big win for me, is the reduced latency - so less latency in plugins, less latency in IEMs... but at a CPU cost and reduced buffer size. Anyway, risk of thread derailment.
  17. Latency doesn’t impact tone - it doesn’t relate to the question I was answering.
  18. You will notice less loss of top end when comparing digital wireless to longer cable runs - a few systems have a cable tone simulation for this very reason (just lops a bit of the top end off). Analogue wireless... bit of a lottery. Good companders will mean less perceived signal loss... but certainly you will get a loss in top and bottom end due to the compander.
  19. That'd be nice above that array of Bergs.
  20. That 212. Hands down best EBS cab.
  21. @dave_bass5- I think your thoughts ran away with you. Are you talking about the standard wireless (for instruments?)
  22. Can't beat a little freshen up! Now get a brush and get all that gunk out of your bridge!
