A boxed Cioks 4 power supply, box with all cables. As new, except there is velcro underneath - I'm happy to remove that if needed. Price includes postage within the UK. This is powered by UBS power bank (which you'd need to buy separately), and is super convenient and tidy - no need for access to a DC power supply for your pedalboard. I'm only selling cause I've moved my pedals into a rack and have bought a Cioks Sol to replace it.
I've been amp less/ in ears with the current band for the last 18 months. Rig is a Shure wireless, compressor, and EBS Micro bass 2. I realised recently I never actually change anything during a gig so have very recently rehoused the pedals along with my in ear transmitter and personal mixer into a new rack that sits on top of the band's main rack. All the bits and pieces go into a 1 unit drawer. It saves me having to run 4 cables across the stage, and setup/breakdown is now a doddle. I'm seriously thinking of getting a wireless mic so I can have no cables - even though I only sing bvs in a few songs.
Are you testing it using the XLR, or with an amp, or with headphones directly plugged in? I've found it behaves very strangely with different headphones. I've ended up using it as a one channel preamp/DI as well - i haven't had the same problem as you, but I struggle to get a good balance between the channels.
1. Yes, Cat 5 from the desk (we use a PD-16) as there's two of us using P16s. And then connect your P16 puts to your IEM transmitter. 2) all channels are live unless you mite them. Switching the channel on makes that the live one you are adjusting, unless you solo you'll hear the whole mix.
Yes, correct. The other advantage of the P16 is it's stereo, and doesn't use any of the Auxes. But all 6 of you could use the Auxes, apps, and wired or wireless in mono without any additional expense (assuming you have the devices you need).
The P16 allows each band member to manage their own IEM mixes, rather than relying on whoever looked after the mixer. You can do it via an app/devices, but it's easier using the physical knobs on the P16. In our band (using an X18) two of us use P16s and the other three rely on the mix from the Aux outs.
For Once In My Life. I had to learn it for a wedding once. Totally random, and then it changes key and the randomness continues. And Rhythm Stick, it's the plucking hand that defeats me.
