I don't get it? Are these new Barefaced cabs?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1464190112' post='3057380'] Is that dB or d&b ..? [/quote] You'll never get an answer.

I don't know of any artist that is actually using it though. Good in theory although I don't know how successful it is in practice!

I'm which case, if you want true stereo, you need the ACS live system - or maybe check out Klang.com

Ha! True benefit of stereo saves on transmitters? Seriously though, a stereo inears mix is lovely. Less fatiguing, more true to life and a more immersive experience altogether... Assuming you spend the time to getting it right. FOH can be all dull and mono but I love my full stereo monitor mix with luscious stereo keys, panned toms, stereo reverb and being able to position instruments throughout the LR mix. Much more fun.

[quote name='colleya' timestamp='1464012440' post='3055735'] Thanks gents. The ui12 GUI let's me assign the two headphone outs as extra aux outs so they can be mixed independently and used as third and fourth monitor channels. I hadn't thought about the pan left & right from one transmitter though, assume that would let me send different mixes to two receivers? Andy [/quote] Correct! One transmitter, two receivers each receiving a different mix.

I would get a rack shelf and mount the Ui12 on that. Some rack shelfs have holes in the bottom so you can cable tie whatever you want to it... but you could just use a plentiful supply of velcro. Or you could drill your own holes... Then I would get a 16 d panel like this - And then I would buy all the neutrik chassis comments to put all the sockets on the Ui12 that you want to present on flying cables. That should sort out a neat solution for mounting the mixer. Will take you a while to solder it - but will probably give you the solution that you want. re: the wifi. There will be some attenuation - but you'll probably not notice it significantly. (e.g. it won't be anything to worry about). There will be less loss in an ABS rack case compared to a full flight case - but in reality, even a full flight case doesn't contain that much metal - most of it is board which doesn't attenuate the wifi signal significantly. I suspect you will be able to buy a wiring kit to remote mount that aerial - but without taking a closer look, I couldn't recommend further than this. It's probably worth mentioning that the Ui12 only has 2 aux sends... so you are only looking at running a maximum of two mixes - or one stereo mix. Don't buy 4 transmitters as they will not be able to be used. The options are buy two stereo transmitters but run them in mono... or buy one stereo transmitter and use in focus mode so you can either hand pan to the left or hard pan to the right and get a summed mono mix at the receiver end. Remember, like your standard radio system, with the receivers, more than one person can pick up the same mix, you just have to tune into the same frequency. From going what you said in your post, I suspect this is what you've missed! My gut feeling for you is that you don't really want to rack mount this stuff. You'd be probably better off getting a 1u pizza box sized SKB rack bag and run two XLRs (either a two core multicore or two standard XLRs cable tied together) from that to the Ui12 which would be on the floor. Given the size of the Ui12, I would wager the difference in setup times would be less than a few minutes - if it minutes plural at all. Hope this helps.

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1463825974' post='3054317'] Update, gigged the Four10 last night and had a bit of a tweak with the amp eq, bigger lows and ample volume were forthcoming, also heard it from out in the room as I lent it to a mate who played after and it sounded great from various points in the room, the headline bands bassist was using an svt pro and a couple of Zilla cabs but he commented on my sound and said "what the f@@# is in that Barefaced it sounds awesome". She's a keeper. [/quote] dragonffli?

Great review dood! Really enjoyed reading about your experience.

Great review dood. Also worth mentioning that a set of standard single drivers in a set of standard earbuds (think iPod headphones ones) are usually dynamic drivers, not balanced armatures - which naturally develop more bass than balanced armatures - That's why I would always recommend bolstering the amount of bass drivers. That's not saying that balanced armatures are lacking in the bass... it's just for plentiful bass and headroom, you need a bit of safety in numbers in the lows. (Two is enough - they'll quite happily rip your head off with more than enough bass - any further drivers in the low is a bonus).

If you like loads in reserve, the 750 no question. The 250 is deemed to be a loud amp - and it is - and in most situations it will be plenty... but if headroom is your thing, you'll enjoy the extra breathing space offered by the 750 - £180 is a small price to pay for the upgrade.

Gosh - you reckon the OP is still there quaking with his credit card, still waiting to pull the trigger?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1463234257' post='3049798'] The trick to using a stereo rig in any environment is really knowing what to put in your left and right channels and whom is going to be receiving it and where best to use it. Armed with that knowledge, I'd used a full stereo bass rig for years. Not once did I ever have an engineer (worth their salt) have an issue with it and never did my 'sound' suffer. [/quote] That's cos an engineer will just go "meh" and sum to mono.

Speak with Zilla - http://www.zillacabs.com/custom_cabs.php They do plenty of head and cab conversions. To echo others on here, I would be tempted to build a new cab and new head than butcher any existing combo cabinet.

Man, it's not a long time to have been missing - but if the alarm has been raised and it's hit the news.... well, I hope it ends well and she just needed some me time. :-/

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1463418957' post='3051226'] How long has it been? [/quote] It's been seven hours and fifteen days.

I'm sure that I've read this somewhere already but can you change patches via Midi or is the MIdi functionality just for programming via the editor?

Yeah - was pink noise - now it's a 1-2 pitch sweep.

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1463269457' post='3050125'] Just remember that we could save settings from regular gigs in the same rooms. Also using the mic/analyser we could set the eq fairly quickly to get it sounding okay. Bearing in mind we did the sound ourselves from onstage with no out front sound guy so was good to know the system was tuned to the room (especially before the guitarist started messing with the mix.....) Sorry I can't offer more technical help. [/quote] Yes - this mic/analyser is the intriguing bit. 2-4 measurements of a couple of seconds each and a tuned (ish) room sounds great. Certainly eliminates those hot frequencies.

Thanks for your input. Yes - I've been toying with the idea I think it ultimately has limited use to me although the RTA section does appeal for quick tuning of the room... however.... You aren't the first person to mention the boosting of the lows either... as for the sub harmonic feature, yes, asking for trouble. Ive got that on the GLD80 and it's destined to cause much worry to any subwoofers!

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1463263694' post='3050096'] Used a Driverack a few years ago with a JBL system in a function band. I remember it being a useful bit of kit, enabling quicker setups and sound checks which were appreciated when time was at a premium. Was reliable too. Have no idea now whether they are still worth getting, or have been superseded by more recent advances. [/quote] What was it specifically that allowed for quicker setups and sound checks?

Reading about Schaller - about time I reposted this - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70420-schaller-strap-locks-and-how-to-fit-them-properly/

As the topic title really. Driveracks- all this useful EQing of the room and the like - who realistically uses them in a band situation, I'm intrigued how widespread their popularity is...?
