ben604 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Anyone tried these out? For either IEM or instrument transmission? They're digital and competitively priced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks incredibly interesting actally. I've been waiting for a good digital IEM, and even considered looking into reversing something like the Relay G50. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've ordered a pair, they're £70-80 in the uk, each. Thomann have them for £78 a PAIR! I'll report back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Only 15m range. That doesn't sound very far to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was looking at it from the PoV that it's only a little further than my leads already reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ah I'll be using them for IEM, so it gets rid of an unnecessary cable. Slightly more freedom. I find with my wired setup, I'm constantly stepping on the lead and pulling the ear buds out of my head.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's why when i'm using my botched up wired IEM rig, i tend to pretty much tie the extension cable i use to the belt loop at the back of my jeans, and then plug in the earphones.

Monckyman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Dunno about these, will have a look. A suggestion for wired systems is make up a special cable using 6 way lightweight cable which can carry your bass signal down and your stereo iem up. Or just tape the two cables together!

ben604 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 These have arrived. They work great in the house, both sending bass/music or receiving music, so I've got high hopes for tonight. I'll report back in the morning time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Would really be interested in hearing how they work out as IEMs. In terms of putting together an IEM solution for my band, we'd probably have a couple of mixes out the two aux channels on the desk. One for the primary vocal mix and then another for the keyboard player with more keys in. With the Pipeline system, am I right in thinking that we could use a couple of them in transmit mode (on different channels) to send the two monitor mixes and then have one per band member receiving either one of the two transmitted mixes? Does it work like that? Can two or more receivers pair with a single device? T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks rather plasticy and fragile from the photos on the website. Is it sufficiently gig-proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Ok, had a bash this weekend with them as both wireless IEMs and with my bass. Mixed feelings so far, ace with the bass, nice clean, strong signal, from anywhere in the room, never mind the stage. As IEMs they're not as good. I'd read that they were quiet and that's exactly what they were. I found I had to turn my aux output up to get the volume required, but that was distorting the input on the transmitting box. So much so that I had to take them out. Physically, they're fairly robust. They're plastic, but come with a silicone cover which has the belt clip, which is fine around my belt, but might be too weak on just jeans if that makes sense? They come with short jack leads too, which was nice, so youre ready to go out of the box. I'm a pretty careful person, so I can't see me breaking them, but they might not handly being stamped on! I'd say they'd handle gigs no problems, but time will tell. I'm going to take the advice of other users and get a small aa battery powered preamp to put in my pocket between the receiver and earphones and give them another go. I'll report back next Sunday!

mixingwithtom Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Sorry to resurrect this old thread but have been looking into this recently - Any more feedback on the Pipeline system? Did you find a small preamp that works well?! Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Interesting findings. By the sound of things, just a small battery powered headphone amp would do the trick? Liam Edited October 8, 2012 by LiamPodmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
