Considering options again... @intime-nick and myself only caught up with each other this week. I can't say when at this stage - but we are still pursuing it but cottage industry prototyping without bankrupting yourself is pretty difficult! The design has moved on somewhat since we last updated... and I think it's fair to say that we are pretty excited by it. It's construction is like nothing you've seen before.

sPiKi Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 CCA C12s arrived today. Two weeks to arrive from Ali Express. Went for the upgraded CCA cable too. Total price for both items was around £36 First impressions are very positive. Smaller than my C10s and not as harsh in the top end which is what I spent most time EQing when out gigging. Looking forward to using them this weekend. My test songs are Find My Way and Satellite by Nine Inch Nails and Wake Up by RATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Please can someone answer what may be a stupid question! I think I am going to go for a Behringer XR18 digital mixer for its sheer features and portability but also for the ability to to have multiple aux outs to feed our in ear system we are going to start using.....I have downloaded the X-Air app for my phone and everything looks straightforward and manageable from my limited understanding of these digital mixers, so my question is....if all members of the band download the X-Air app would they be able to connect to the mixer and create and manage their own monitor mix (as long as it was agreed they don't start messing with any other screens!) or would it need to be a single phone / tablet controlling the monitoring along with any other outputs? Cheers Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add to this that if they install the "x-air Q" app rather than the "x-air" app then they'll only be able to adjust monitor mixes and not do anything that affects front of house. I got all my bandmates using the Q version of the app in my last band and only had the regular x-air app open on the tablet that I used for foh.

mrtcat Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Oh yeah, if you're using an XR18 then I'd advise using a separate router. You'll get a much more reliable wifi connection that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing if you use the built in router, as the others said use a separate one, I use an old one that used to be our house one, I found it in a drawer just before ordering a brand new one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rog I'd strongly recommend the 'Mixing Station' 3rd party app for other band members to use for their own monitor mixes rather than the official X Air Q app. I use the XAir 18 and our guys much prefer that app, plus you can very easily set it to be locked to a particular bus feed so they can't accidentally start messing with the FoH mix or other people's monitor mix! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 How does one clean the tiny holes in their IEMs? The metal loop/brush tool thing is fine for the larger holes but I’ve found the smaller holes are accumulating a bit of wax and the included cleaning tool doesn’t work. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 They’re customs. I’m referring to the holes that the sound comes out of. There are 3 holes per side - 1 larger (which the cleaning tool can fit into) and 2 smaller (which the cleaning tool cannot)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 How big is the wax cleaning tool? The ACS ones for example, are bigger than the ones that are generally supplied with acrylic IEMs. My ACS wax cleaning tools won't fit into my acrylic IEMs for example.
