There we go

So don't then.

Unlikely unless agreed in advance. Even if turning up with a split, depending upon your sound guy, they may not like that either. As always, communication is key... and the sound engineer. Alot of sound engineers are paid up to just turn up and do their thing on the day in a manner they know... things tend to go south when you tipple that norm. -
musicians for you.

Yup. Stay away.

The problem - well, it's morally bankrupt. I always smirk when I see "that pdf" which shows all this top end equipment listed. There's always the narrative "top end system", "sounds amazing", "no complaints ever"... lies lies lies. Anyway, these "great" setups dont mean anything... pricey setups don't defy physics. I think the golden era of making a living via being in a function band is well and truly over. Or maybe it's just cos I got sick of it all... Dunno. But it was definitely getting less enjoyable every gig I did.

In reality, most punters wouldn't know what a good or bad sounding band at a wedding sounds like. And if it sounds rubbish and the punters notice, they won't say anything - they are guests at a wedding and unlikely to have picked up the bill. Nobody will tell the bride or groom, cos nobody is going to be that person that potentially ruins their day... hence the problem goes unchallenged, the venue is paid, the band gets paid... and everybody is happy... kinda. Lets face it, for most couples and guests, it's a one off event.

They are all pants. Hate them. For an insight into how some of these systems “work”, look up the Maxxbass plugin… the thing is, that still requires **some** bass to work. Not so hot when you’ve high passed all the bass out of your speakers already. Some venues just arent cut out for live music. What these venues should be doing is, is running a band through a silent disco setup and selling that as quirky feature. Neighbours not complaining about noise, the oldies can talk and everybody else can hear how your band doesn’t sound as good as the band thinks it does! 😛

You can use y splits - but folk prefer not to because it can lead to impedance mismatch, increased signal noise but most notably, they don’t limit phantom power - which can have a habit of breaking things which shouldn’t be in the receiving end of it…

That needed a dedicated Jeff cam!

You only really need to read the first few posts. Loosely inserted IEMs in your ears is not the way to go.
