Due to me not running bands anymore, I'm shifting a load of my personal PA gear. All my stuff is currently in storage but will be pulling it out to photograph and update the posts. Now with PICS! You probably know what this is if you are looking at this advert, here's the details - https://dbxpro.com/en/products/afs2 Spent most of its life racked and comes into its own for those troublesome venues. As good as new, like pretty much all my kit. (You can see it has no rack rash even - if you are interested in the switch too... make me an offer... have a matched pair! Note rack bag not included.) Check out my other listings for PA stuff. -
Solution to a problem that doesn't really exist? EMG ES-9 /18 - discontinued. Wonder why? It's not hard wiring a box to send power down a stereo lead. But you are setting off down a road of custom. Spare cables tend to be unbalanced/mono, not stereo. So you will then be carrying around a spare cable, which is a lot more inconvenient than a battery. Rechargeable batteries are cheap enough - and if you get one of the USB chargeable ones, they are are now a lot more hi-capacity than your standard PP3 rechargeable. I have a whole XLR, balanced, power solution on one of my basses (powers preamp, LEDs, and balanced output). Do I ever use the functionality of that? No, I use the standard jack and batteries? Why? Cos it's less headaches running something standard than carrying around custom cables and boxes. I've been where you are - and your thinking is not helping you out. Don't waste your time. Invest in some good batteries!

The benefits of playing samples where all the transients have been brought under control! (And no mic bleed)

It will be when the app isn’t the focus.

Remember to feed back your big finds to A&H - they are usually pretty hot on bug fixes and community improvement suggestions.
-
You dont want much do you?!

Actually, scratch that... now we are talking... https://www.gak.co.uk/en/se-electronics-dm3-dynamite-inline-active-di-box/959243

Do you need it to be passive? Or is phantom powered OK? I'm guessing battery is out due to the size? I'll thrown in the Fischer mini DI... you need smaller than that? Cos you could be out of luck if you are!
-
WAIT - hang on, no GEQ on the output? So not notching, only parametric? OK for inears, not great for wedges. (Although A&H may go, the feedback assist does away for the need for a graphic.)
-
Good stuff. I thought they would have been MASSIVE oversights if they weren't included.
-
You'd hope theres an EQ on the output - because if you are using wedges, you'd want to be able to notch frequencies as an absolute minimum.

These are the originals, not the Mk4. Same as the Mk4 but in different casing and without the FiR feature on the DSP that the Mk4 has (they are as the link). Weight 19.6 Kg / 43.2 lbs -
Looking at the sales specs - - Output: 6x Mono Aux 1/4" TRS Jacks (linkable) What's the linkable thing about? I would have thought you would have had to link on the mixer and then your remote monitor mix will just assume control of that linked pair? (Then I'm guessing additional options like pan will appear in the app?)
-
Stereo mixers aren't possible. Whut? Aw man. That's pants.
-
Sell the RCF before more people clock on about the AH!
-
Yes - although be prepared to open your wallet!
-
I guess it means when it comes to products marketed in this way, the results often match the price point, not what you would wish for. There are however, some exceptions. In comparison, Sennheiser, Shure and Lectrosonics cost what they do, because they perform exceptionally well.
-
But this one is. (I thought the Phenyx looked familiar) https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/SubZero-SZ-IM2-Stereo-In-Ear-Monitoring-System/2D74 So looks like a generic rebrand exercise in play. Proceed with caution!
-
Whether it is or it isn't, it isn't available in the UK shared mic license of free for all license bands.
-
In fact, probably easier just to post this - https://www.optogate.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 You've also probably clocked that there are various companies who manufacture a clone (maybe under license, dunno), including Monacor for example.
-
It's because the one for dynamic mics does not require a phantom pass thru, whereas the one for condensers do - hence more electronic components, more cost. (Optogates require power via phantom power, regardless of model)
-
Try PB-05E

Apologies if that came over a bit snarky. I just find it weird when people bemoan the pricing of a product. As an example, your average mic comprises of less components than the Optogate, manufactured in vastly higher numbers and yet people will quite happily pay a lot of money for them. Even the budget mics from China are vastly overpriced compared to their construction costs. Yet a niche product that doesn't get produced in anywhere near the numbers and will have nowhere near the profit margin gets seen as too expensive. If you use one, you'll see they are worth every penny when you see how much gain you can recover before feedback because it's actively closing off the unused mics that would be otherwise just be contributing bleed. Anyway, £111 at DV247.
