It would be exactly the same as the sound coming entirely from one side, ie 90° to you, but somehow being as loud on the back side What is a TRS to TRS adapter? Why would you need to adapt that? if you plug a mono lead in, it would be fine, its only with a stereo lead. Thats one advantage of a balanced output, it would give you a fine mono output if you use a TS jack. -
I don't think so. I am in a general cover band and a metal band. The metal band almost never go past the first 2 strings, the cover band does all of them. I guess metal just stays in the mud!

Absolutely not. If you connect to a TRS you have a balanced output, and a ground. The signal (a mono one) is amplified in some IEM amplifier, the ground maybe connected to the hardware ground, or isn't, it doesn't matter. that is the correct way. If you connect a mono source to a stereo output, you need to sum both stereo lines to that mono line. The way you are doing if you are putting a mono source into a stereo headphone, both sides are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. I have an X18, not an XR18, they are all TRS (and a headphone out). But they are aux line level out so it would have never occured to me to put them into a headphone! (and the normal aux I used was a TRS plug to an XLR socket. Absolutely. In fact any 'normal'* IEM system would expect a balanced mono, the same as most other XLR use in gigging Maybe you don't notice the phase or there is that thing that people mentioned on the CQ settings that lets you set it as a headphone out (or maybe headphone stereo). * the P2 has a stereo switch and allows you to use it as a stereo.

Yep, I have one of those (for my Boss XE1), sounds like a plan, but still leaves that horrible connector which you know is going to be the first thing to break. I have one but would be reluctant to gig it unless I had physically secured something to that power adapter. Oh thats a good idea. Could glue that to the case!

Because they forgot they didn't do it at the same time as the guitar! -
Well, one thing, if it is not designed for it, if (for instance) I plugged some headphones into the TRS aux output of the X18 ihave, and it could drive it (and I have never tried, so can't say for definite), the ears would be inverted from each other - the tip and ring of a TRS aux are the positive and negative of the output, and the ground is just the cable ground. Headphones are tip to ground and ring to ground per ear, so in headphones when your left ear was pushing, your right ear would be pulling and viceversa. But irrelevant if the QC18 is designed to also run a headphone, I assume it fixes that.
-
The flow is great. It would be fantastic if it had a better power connector, but its still pretty good!
-
Also one of the reasons I wouldn't want that (regardless of being wireless, but if I wasn't), I need a real physical volume knob for partually to adjust as I go along, but mainly because at some point towards the end of the gig, our singer will somehow select the most tone deaf and loud woman in the audience to screech into the microphone with him, and I need to be able to kill that instantly!

Check the earth lead of your pickup goes to the earth of the rest of your bass

Yes, I am very surprised it works, and I can only assume that A&H realised that people plug headphones into their mixers, so they decided to detect that and boost the output. I would expect that there is little risk of damage to any pro audio equipment because the companies would expect things to be done wrong, and also when you have an signal output it is designed to be laid over a stage and may sometimes get damaged and shorted, and that has to not break the amplifiers so there should always be be protection against that kind of use.
-
Agreed - but it would have never occured to me to actually plug a headphone in there. In fact if someone had tried that with one of my mixers they would have had a good kicking!
-
Mine were labeled a few years ago, and since then we have had no issues. Apart from a couple of times when the bass drum has ended up in the bass socket.
-
No, I gig all my basses and never worried about bass type, although a 4 string has little use in my main gigging group. But the metal group has a lot of drop tuning, so it will probably live as a permanent drop D (or lower).
-
Mine is week 4 as well, but has been since a few days after I ordered it. But not an issue as it wasn't anything I actually needed anyway!
-
Thats nearly my perfect bass!
-
The MS-20 has a 3.5mm stereo jack and it is about as cheap as you can get, but it is fine connected to the aux out.
-
I have never actually lost connection (without using the internal network and a U4 aside) and I am not sure on the term 'cobbling' really matches connecting a standard ethernet connection, but ok! Yes, the CQ18 has a screen and hardware controls that are handy for setup, although I wouldn't really want to rely on that during a gig so wireless issues would presumably be the same. I would assume you could also connect to the CQ18 with an ethernet connection (at least I would hope you could), so you could use a hardware surface, which honestly always beats a table if you happen to also be gigging!
-
You can tweak things on the XR18 - not sure why that would be different? You can put mixing station in a 'AUX only' mode, so they can only affect their own mix.
-
Your IEM system, transmitter, whatever (which is an amplifier), so some additional hardware not directly the headphones themselves.
-
Indeed - but that is just adjusting standard AUX outs, which you could do on mixing station or whatever on the behringer, the X18 also has 6 outs (its what I use in my main group). Just does limit the number of stereo outs you can get from a mixer to 3.
-
Doubt you will be dissapointed. I have tried many (still have most of them) and the XVive has been the best so far.

Welcome to basschat!

Think they look great. String spacing too wide for me, but it is something that long fingered freak people have been wanting for a long time!
