(As you know, thats the hardest decision to make) [/quote] Dunno yet, no idea. Hadn't even thought that far ahead. As it's the B-Team, maybe something from the standard colours to keep the cost down. Unless there's an orange or a blue sparkle. I'm a sucker for a bit of sparkle! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Need to get my 1964 V8s cleaned. Over time, bits of wax have accumulated in the ports. The cleaning tool supplied has been semi successful but it's managed to push bits of wax further into the ports. Can't actually get to some of it now and I'm worried it's starting to affect the output of some of the drivers. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) OK - I realise that the monitor mix that I did way back has vanished due to be in my attachments prior to the basschat migration. Anyway, I'd like to think that I've moved on from where I was, especially now I am running a dedicated monitoring desk and dropping waves plugins and the like into the mix. Yeah, I guess I'm getting pretty serious about inears and the stuff! For those truly geeking - I've got a FoH desk, a monitoring desk, a broadcast desk (for Facebook live mixes etc) - all connected via Dante. (By running DAWs on various other connected Macs for example, I'm kinda limitless on the mixing front now). And of course, with Dante, it's easy to record the gig from all points of views (FoH mixes, ears mixes etc... with Dante virtual sound card). The stereo outputs to the inears were pushed to a Mac recording what you hear. There were also another other recorders (one DL32R and DAWs running - as this particular gig may be going onto video so absolutely wanted to make sure I had loads of redundancy! - Anyway, the resulting audio will sync nicely with the video being captured (independently to the feed that was sent via the live broadcast). Here's my den underneath the stage which was hosting the Dante switches, computers, mixers etc! And here was the view from the front before the punters arrived... Anyway, this was in ear mix for the female lead vocalist - hence the lead vocal being very prominent in the mix. Thing of note on this mix, it's not a mix that your would want to commit to record - it's tailored towards what the inear user wants. In this case, the vocal is really pushed (after all, which vocalist doesn't want to hear more of themselves? - same with drummers and bass drums (incidentally I have a separate channel for dealing with the drummers bass drum wants!). Any mono feeds have had pseudo stereo effects applied (to give more stereo spread) and panned appropriately to help try and avoid everything being central in the in ear user's head. The more you can shift from the centre position the better (helps things sound a lot more natural and less fatiguing). Hopefully you can hear the instruments spread across the soundscape. Personally, I don't like the sound of the stereo spread on the lead vocal when listening back - but when performing, it's great and gives a sense of space in your head. For those that complain about isolation, there's two hard panned condenser mics pointing toward the audience (3500 of them on this gig) - hopefully you can get a sense of them being in the room with you, especially at the beginning and the end of the song. Have a listen on headphones and see what you reckon... and tell me if you've ever played a gig with a wedge that sounds anywhere near as good as this!

Dood Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 @EBS_freak - and for the sake of others reading too. Literally in the last couple of minutes, the connector on my IEMs has disintegrated as I coiled my IEMs carefully in to their case! YIKES! I'm glad it happened now and now whilst I was at a gig. Of course I have ping'd out a mail to the rather awesome The Custom IEM Company, but whilst I am here, it might be a good time to look at 3rd party vendors who are making really well made cables that are tough but not bank breaking in terms of cost. I can see where the connector has fallen to bits and I'm not so sure it won't happen again.Thankfully I managed to pull the connector out of the IEM carefully with some song nose pliers.

EBS_freak Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The plastic is always vulnerable on the cables as they are regularly dosed in the sweat and oils around your ears and hair. JH changed their connector on their higher end models for two reasons - to enable the adjustable bass functionally but to also make them more hard wearing. As always, carry a spare if you can... as at one point they will go, most likely at the ear connector end or the jack socket. In terms of the higher quality cable - I don't think any superior quality cable will improve things sonically when being used with PA gear - and even then, the connectors are still going to subject to the same sweat etc. Just keep using the wax picks routinely after every use and wipe them down. I tend to put mind in the acs sanitiser every couple of months too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Russ! - Yeah, I wasn't so fussed about the audio quality, it's perfect as it is; but the 'premium' version of the connectors do look more 'beefy' than the standard version. I may give those a whirl as I can see a weak point where the cable goes in to the connector itself which is liable to get grief in day to day use. Not sweat or anything like that, just movement in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
