  1. I don't expect these to sell, and to be honest I won't be disappointed if they don't. Offered here are two CSM 12s, made by the fine folk at QSC. These are, without hyperbole, the finest speakers I have ever used. If I had roadies, I would use these on every gig, the clarity, range, volume and fidelity are all *chef's kiss*. They're currently permanently installed in my practice room, as they are heavier than the sun and I can no longer face shifting them to and from gigs. The reality is, they're overkill for me now, and their current use is a ridiculous indulgence; if they sell, the funds will be used to replace them with something lighter. I'm also offering the QSC GXD4 that I use to power them; it's not the perfect power amp for the job, but it's been more than powerful enough for my needs. It comes housed in a flight case. The details for the wedges can be found on the QSC website, here. The details for the power amp can be found on the QSC website, here. I'm happy to sell the monitors individually at £600 each, but I'll be keeping the power amp if it doesn't sell with the monitors, as I have plenty of use for it. These are, for obvious reasons, collection only (Ipswich).
  2. Offered in excellent, 8.5/10 condition are two examples of my favourite 112 cabs. I'll doubtless regret this, but the reality is they aren't getting used, as I'm opting for an 4x10 on the types of gigs I used to use these on. These come complete with official Bergantino covers, in tatty but serviceable condition. The details and specs for these cabinets can be found on the Bergantino website, here. I'll entertain shipping these, but it'll require my finding big enough boxes; I imagine the quote'll be somewhat expensive. Collection, from Ipswich, is preferred, but I may be persuaded to deliver if you aren't too far away. £400 each.
  3. Thanks, Franz. Exactly, no matter what you do, it sounds glorious. A passive Precision into a compressor into this was my go-to setup for wedding gigs for years. If that were still my bread and butter, this'd be staying.
  4. There are four FX blocks, so you can choose up to four effects to use at any one time. All channels can be routed to all FX, much like you'd route a channel to a bus, and FX can be routed to other FX too. So by default, if you put say a reverb on a vocal mic, you're sending a clean vocal signal and an affected vocal signal to FoH and you can make changes by riding the two levels, sending more dry signal to the FX channel, or changing the quality of the reverb from the FX sub-menu. You can also change the FX from "Shared" to "Inserted" which then requires you to specify a single channel (or stereo pair) to receive that effect, which is then not available on any other channel; but that then means you lose the dry signal, and you control your affected output via that channel's fader. It's more intuitive than it sounds and allows you to control the FX any way you can imagine with a lot of detail. The presets are really good and I've been able to dial in exactly what I've wanted within seconds of hitting the FX sub-menu. I did an acoustic duo gig last month, and used the double tracker on the guitar which added some missing depth; I've not used it on vocals yet, as I don't think it's an effect I want on all the time, and my hands are busy playing.
  5. This is, and has been, a lovely amp, but, alas, I have too many and too little space and time, so it's offered here to you fine ladies and gentlemen. The full specs and details can be found on the Demeter website, here. This is the stock (non-Jenson) transformer version. The condition is, as far as I can tell, immaculate (it's been babied by me in my ~9 years of ownership), bar some paint chips on the carry handle. Shipping is possible; I'm happy to source a quote for any interested parties; collection is preferred; I'm located in central Ipswich. I'm often in Mayfair, London, so a meetup around there is possible too.
  6. I bought an amp and cabinet from Daryl today. Great communication and a easy and stress-free exchange. The amp and cab were in excellent condition; Daryl clearly takes care of his gear. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again
  7. The WiFi has been faultless and was worth the cost of entry alone. I really don't miss having to use a router in addition to the mixer. Mixing Station does not look as user-friendly, or as "aesthetic," as the native CQ app, and, aside from some missing features, and the disconnecting when idle, the CQ app is the best tablet mixing experience I've ever had.
  8. It's been statically installed in my practice room for the last couple of months, so I haven't really been fully utilising it (the only gigs I've run sound on have used a Midas M32). I'm still really enjoying using it; the interface and navigation within the app have grown on me with more use. I'm enjoying the quick presets more than I thought I would; without those, I think I'd be dialing in very similar settings to those I would on any mixer, but this allows me to cycle through some contrasting setups quickly, and I often arrive at a sound distinct from what I'd normally be looking for and that I'm really satisfied with. I've been lamenting the loss of my mute/sub groups less than I thought I would, but I imagine if I were micing a full drum kit, I'd miss that feature more. I think I'll have to check out Mixing Station to see what the mixing experience is like in that; but I'd miss some of the quick setup functions if I gave up on the CQ app completely. Perhaps I could dial the mixer in using the CQ app, and then do the levels in the Mixing Station app (this is probably ridiculous). I'm doing a major software rollout at work over the next few weeks, so music is going to be quiet for me until late December/early January; I've got a few coffee shop/wine bar gigs in early 2024 where I plan on using this with my FBT Vertus CLA PA, and I'm more excited about it than I should be. I've yet to persuade singers and guitarists to claim their own monitor mixes with the CQ4YOU app yet; which is disappointing. Not a failing of the mixer or the app, just Luddites shirking the job; they'll get there. The tech-savvier musicians I've shared it with have found it straightforward. The learning curve is less steep than the Midas, and the results are usually better. It was an indulgent purchase, but I don't regret it.
  9. They exist in the monitoring app, so the functionality is already there. It's such a daft response too, even if it were true; "we didn't include this useful feature that could be easily achieved on the existing hardware with minor software changes and that has no down sides by design"??? I'm used to not having the mute groups now as I have the soft keys setup for what I used most frequently on my MR18. It's still a great mixer, but these feel like missteps from A&H.
  10. I've yet to use the W950, but I've heard great things. I've got a few Lewitt instrument mics and a kick drum mic as well as my 540, and they've all been excellent. I imagine the W950 would keep up with the heavyweights of the condenser vocal mic world.
  11. Yeah. They were super selective about what they were willing to talk about when engaging with me. It seems like the engineers don't really communicate with the support/promotional/social teams, and if it's not the press release, they just don't know. I think in the long wrong the CQ20 would be a wiser buy than the UI24R; it's definitely, even with its teething issues, a more capable device; but I would understand choosing a more mature device rather than waiting for updates that may or may not come.
  12. I really dislike 58s. I think their ubiquity is often misconstrued as universal approval. There are so many great mics that can be had for the same, or less, money. Need's never had anything to do with it. Buying frivolous and expensive toys purely for the fun of playing with frivolous and expensive toys is one of my top hobbies. And if you can pick one up for the right price, you won't struggle to move it on for the same money should you ever tire of it. I say get one! 😁
  13. I've got a few of these. They're great as a universal clip — https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Universal-Quick-Release-Mic-Clip-by-Gear4music/1OJH
