Because they generally don’t have an incompetent in the chain that loves pushing things until they feedback.
-
With the entry point of decent IEMs being so cheap, I don’t know why people would entertain not using them.

I dont know what kinda of money you have to spend but the Boss EQ200 is a good, 10 band, stereo, small pedal solution that may be right up your street. (I'm guessing you aren't in stereo off the analogue mixer - but splitting into the EQ200 may be able to compensate for both of you ears (assuming your hearing loss profile is not identical in both ears). EDIT: this is quite a good topic of conversation, I'll write some extra stuff for the bible thread.

If you are on a digital desk, check the global EQ for that channel. You should be able to carve in some EQ. You could also feed your aux into a separate 31 band EQ (eg stand-alone unit) to make your fine adjustments before going into your headphone amp. Ideally you want to run in stereo with a 31 band EQ on each side to have the appropriate EQ for each ear. Hope this helps. 🙂 Hit me up if you need some guidance.

Totally! Unlike a lot of people, I would actually encourage a year out between school and university (but not one of those gap year jollies to Ghana to find yourself or whatever nonsense it's dressed up as) to get used to the pattern of getting up, going to work and having a bit of responsibility about it all, away from the safety of the parents safety net. When I was at university, I would wager that the majority of students could have done better and actually learned more if they treated it with a job mindset... instead of getting whizzed up, living off Pot Noodle (a guy that I lived with ended up getting scurvy from his beer and pot noodle diet) and sleeping.

X32 is about 1ms (actually 0.83ms but lets call it 1) Narrow band Sony, 3ms. Xvive 5ms. Cumulative 9ms. Pro world, 7ms is the target upper limit. You'd have to try to see if you can "feel" the delay. Of course, the other thing that I don't particularly like, is that it's on the 2.4 ghz range, which means it could be prone to interference in areas where there's quite a high presence of wifi services. If you are on the want and want to go digital... it may be worth investigating the MI-58 - https://www.mipro.com.tw/webls-en-us/iem.html - it's got sub 3 milisecond latency. I've not tried one of these yet - but it could be a better recommendation than the EW300 if you have that kind of money to spend. Stereo, digital, low-ish latency, great dynamic range (plus Dante on the pro version - which I know most people here won't be interested in) - and on 5.8Ghz. Build quality reputably great too. On paper, it's wicked. I just haven't been able to get to try one. Only thing I don't like, is battery choice... but at least it's replaceable. Yes. I want one. -
Oh it's gone. I haven't got time for that. My Barefaced comments aren't opinions. They are tangible observations - unless of course, your eyes are deceiving you and the tolex isn't peeling.

Go to university. Yeah, you may be one of those "sad peeps" that hang out at the library - but that's because you have lived in the real world and got acclimatised to the idea of work and maybe the 9 to 5. You are there because you want to be there for the qualification, not the lifestyle... like a lot of students do. Treat it like a job and you'll come out on top. Get equipped with the qualifications and you'll stand out at in interview as somebody that has shown willingness to learn and improve. Although it does sadden me that to be a burger flipper nowadays requires a degree

The advert from Scott which riled me is when he started dissing on Youtube. Not too long ago he was singing the praises of Youtube and the wealth of information available to you for free.

Try some Mark King tape.

What I'd do, is get something from here - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/power-supplies-transformers/power-supplies-psus/desktop-power-supplies/?applied-dimensions=4292047580,4293173709 This will do you - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/desktop-power-supplies/7212109 (Ashdown pedal requires 300mA so it's 830mA capacity is more than enough) And get a DC polarity converter cable (as Ashdown pedal requires centre negative and all these will be centre positive). Then you can get as long a IEC mains cable as you need.
-
Ah, that would explain why some bass players wear gloves. Leave no prints and all that.
-
Sounds like Santa!
-
Are you using just this pedal, or a number? I’d say a block PSU next to the pedal with a long trailing mains cable would be the way to go?
-
Fieldy. (Sounds goddam awful)

Seems a shame to run in mono if you have a X32…. You could always run two… with each half doing one side of each of your IEMs. If you are already running mono, no great shakes. The gotchas are obviously the cumulative latency. With your wireless bass (what are you using nowadays?) helix (or whatever digital pedals you currently have on your board), x32 and xvive, you could be hitting some high latency figures. You may feel the delay in your playing to what you are hearing. You probably have heard the improvement that the P1 gives you over the LD… and going digital will give you that more wired sound for cheaper than the ew300 and psm900 but it’s all academic if there’s too much latency there. Let’s figure out what you got - tell me your signal chain.
-
Whats the use case. 3m is unlikely on thin DC (presumably) lead as it will be subject to voltage drop.
-
You're not trying hard enough then.
-
Tell them that you want an aux (or pair of auxes) on XLRs run to wherever you are on the stage. Of if they haven't got the means to do that, you'll have to give them the transmitter and they'll babysit that from the desk (at least they can see they aren't overloading it then).

I just thought you were Brian Badonde asking for some veg.
-
That's the thing. I don't even use EBS. It's a big trick. The freak bit is probably true though.
-
Man, if you think that's bullying, you should try posting some observations on a barefaced thread as ebs_freak and see how you many sharp tongues you are on the end of...

I seem to recall that it was all about Aguilar and Sei Jazz basses.... monitored through D&B wedges. Anything else was just piffle. I'm surprised he even played about with Bergs.
-
Yeah - mismatched... although it's going to be causing the amp more problems than your IEMs as your IEMs aren't going to present a high enough load out on the output transformer of the headphone amp. The Powerplay 8 is designed for in the studio where they are expected to be used with say 250Ohm over ears. Solve the problem by just getting a P2 for your setup and ask if you can plug into that.
