    One by one, I'll convince you all

    (PS, if you aren't getting what you want bass tone wise, it's because you aren't going through any pres (and power amp if you are looking for sag) that deliberately colour the tone - and you haven't got and speaker emulation going on. If you do want to address this, stick a modeller on your pedal board that can add that colouration). (That goes for guitarists too. Once you got the portability of this down, you'll never want to entertain traditional rigs again). Add a P2 and an XLR cable into your gig bag and some IEMs - and you'll be sorted.

    Finally.

    Nice little rig there. Just double check that it's a passive split (in that the split still works when the unit is powered off) - otherwise you may get one very whizzed off sound engineer when a power failure in your rig takes out the bass any lead vocal and remediation would take repatching of cables.

    I couldn't remember the Magic Roundabout. Just Youtubed and listened. I tend to agree.

    posh pub cum restaurant …I’ll give that one a miss then.

    Well yeah. But it comes to something when you could probably reimport at a similar price as you can buy them natively.
  9. EBS_freak
    I get that... but I guess you didn't take a look at the price of Rotos on that site... and compare to the UK prices?

    One doth protest too much 😜

    Having been through this route with somebody else, I'd totally recommend the Zoom H8 - https://www.studiospares.com/zoom-h8-handy-recorder-378770.htm Gives you the option for am ambient sound where you are standing (through it's own mics). And you can also take a feed from any desk that may be available... but also allow you to put your own mics out on key instruments, or take splits from mics already in place and control the levels all through the mixing facility on the zoom. When you price up a mixer (that can take 8 XLRs) and an pair of ambient mics, you're already quids in on the Zoom... and thats before you add in the recording option.

    Props to the OP for his covert plug of a commission sale. (I'm making this up... or am I?)
  13. EBS_freak
    Its pretty sick (disgusting) the price difference isn't it?

    That was going to be my suggestion once I’d found out where burno70 was. At the end of the day, Paul is a dab hand at impressions.
  16. EBS_freak
    Possibly - although I know of people who have have had a good service and impressions from the high street. At the end of the day, they are trained audiologists and you'd hope that they'd be able to follow the instructions! Where are you based? If you are going via custom iem company, give Paul a shout as he has a list of audiologists across the country who are up to the job.
  17. EBS_freak
    As long as they follow the instructions properly, use a bite block, you should be good to go. It's important that the impression goes deep enough (past the second bend). I've attached 64s impression guide for an idea (although all the major manufacturers will require the same). It kills me to see certain manufacturers take impressions with the person in the chair chatting away, without a bite block... and then they wonder why the resulting fit on their inears are pants.

    Probably worth mentioning this too whilst I'm at it. Buy a set of 64 Audio Custom IEMs (A6t or above) and you'll receive a FREE set of 64 Audio High Fidelity Earplugs, your order will come complete with ALL 3 of their Apex modules, the mX, m15 and m20, you'll also receive their solid (non-Apex) module the m26! This is what I did when I bought my A12ts... but I paid for the earplugs. They are great earplugs too (of course they, they're 64!)

    Yes, I've had JH Audio - was one of the first to have the CF Roxanne. (Don't bother with CF - its way expensive now, I paid £100 for it - and like all opaque shells, makes cleaning them more difficult). Basically, the ones to go for are the JH Roxannes and 16s as you've called out. The Roxannes are an absolute bass monster and quite a dark sounding IEM. The 16s are a bit more hyped I guess, with a glassier top end. I happen to know that JH are putting their prices up 10% (next week or the week after I think?) If you are looking at spending JH Roxanne sort of cash, you may want to look into the A12t from 64 also. That's my fave IEM for bass at the moment - and also what I am currently using. Go and audition them all and see which you like!

    If it comes to coolness, then Liberty X were always the cooler out of the pair.
  21. EBS_freak
    No, this is hearsay

    Shure PSM300 with premium pack is probably what you are looking at. (not a bad system if you haven't got to co-ordinate any other wireless IEMs from a different brand. The PSM300 has fixed bands - you can't set your exact frequencies - only the ones that come baked into the unit). If you think you need the flexibility of tuning, that would push you to the EW300 or PSM900. Another option is to look into the MI-58 (not the 909 or 24). I haven't tried them personally - but they are getting great feedback from my friends. Digital and pretty low latency to make them a viable option for IEM use. Do make sure your singer invests in good IEMs too... no purpose having all this lovely wireless if it's being compromised by the last unit in the chain!
  23. EBS_freak
    Not me. I haven't even commented on that kind of story at all.
  24. EBS_freak
    What story is that then?
  25. EBS_freak
    I dont care, I'm not hearing it. Also, I don't hate on class D. Like everything, there is good and bad. Plenty of big PA rigs absolutely slaying it with class D behind it. If you look through what I've said, I haven't got a problem with class D. I just think that if you are running a PA, carrying around a bass rig is surplus to requirements. I've never made any secret of that - and will still advocate it's a better route for most bands to both sound better and protect their ears.
