Custom moulds is where it’s at. To be honest, with your diagnosis, they would be worth every penny. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk.

After headaches, managed to track the thing down and it’s now with a Shure - should arrive back after the weekend on Christmas Eve... fingers crossed. logistics companies are big poo faces
-
Guess I’ll find out more tomorrow @tonyf - the thing is, it needs to have been serviced and left from Shure by Thursday for delivery back to me on Friday otherwise it’ll not be til the New Year - which is a right ball as I got some gigs in between Xmas and NYE that I could really do with having it back. Of course, that is assuming that it miraculously gets found tomorrow. Im seriously considering trying to get this deal on watchdog or something - insurance for other people doing their job right is just ludicrous. And the thing is, I have to wait a stupid amount of time before I can make a claim - and then the claim process is always deliberately so that it’s difficult to actually get a pay out. Corrupt as.

FML. As if it wasn't enough losing my inears, my ULXD is now lost. FFS. Why can't a delivery company ever do what it's meant to do. And yet you take out insurance for them to do their job right. Ask yourself this... if you had a tradesman came into your premises to do work and they completely fck*ed it up... would you claim on their insurance? Why do you have pay insurance out for the safeguarding against THEM doing THEIR job properly? Absolutely raging.

Beautiful. It just goes to show you the big disconnect between what is happening with regard to PA speakers and Bass cabs. For now, I can only see the only reason you'd want to go with a traditional bass cab, is for traditional looks. If you want to make your setup sound different, change what your pre is doing.

Have fun. But don't make Rock n Roll's death too painful.

I seriously doubt it. You only have to look at some of the hi end hifi headphone amps to see that this is small fry compared to whats out there. -
Not latency... just standard drummer timing! 😛

A lot of drummers hate electric kits... the thing is, choosing the right kit can make all the difference. Here's my drummer dude this weekend at a small bar gig, dark cymbals (v important!), small kit, miced in stereo for the in-ears and kick support out front. Darker cymbals, quiet acoustic kit... but as you can see, I don't think it really holds him back. Obviously the mix sounds a bit off here as it was shot in a phone (that was in a case to further mess with the mic response) - but the whole setup sounded awesome out front.
-
Oh well, at least you'll have some fun hearing everything whilst you earn some pennies to pay for it! ULXD - yeah, pretty bummed out. Funnily enough, I dropped an email to a guy I know in Shure and he was on the phone within a couple of minutes. Pretty good considering that they aren't open at the weekend. Guess it's the nature of the business and the time of year. All being well, shipped off on Monday, should have it back within 48 hours after it lands with them. Thats pretty decent don't you think?! He seems to think it's a quick fix - don't know about price yet though Are you not running your setup stereo yet? You've got some more delights for your ears to come then! Has your desk not got enough auxes to equip everybody with stereo? What desk is it that you are running? Quiet Christmas for me - which I'm looking forward to. As for picking my brain - any time, anywhere I can help, glad to do so.

Its not a DAW per se, more anything that is digital and has an A/D D/A conversion in your chain... so digital pedals, digital mixers... DAWs have an operational latency to begin with... but you are right, you are more likely not wanting to be adding to it by going wireless into it.
-
No worries man. You've got an absolute killer setup there now. Roxannes and EW300 -that's a top flight rig and it's good to see that you are now where you want to be - enjoy. (Certainly a big step up from those other customs you had, right?!). Bet you're beaming like a Cheshire Cat now?!

More rock n roll death. 😛

He confirmed this morning that he had his stuff. I don't think he tends to leave his gear anywhere!

Enjoy - and update us with your experience and thoughts!

Dont forget to update us all on your experiences all!

Yes - you shouldn't buy one because they are trash. In no particular order - 1. Awful compounder - the treble becomes harsh, brittle and fatiguing. The bass is significantly cut. 2. No headroom on the input on the transmitter. That thing clips and goes into audible distortion if you just look at it. 3. Mono. And playing in mono is no fun if you have the opportunity to play in stereo. 4. The build quality is so cheap, its embarrassing. 5. The RF performance is atrocious. It's great if you like drop outs or the sound of tuning into a radio station... or the sounds of wasps. 6. it runs on 9v batteries and enjoys sucking power. So you have the option of running rechargeables - which don't give you a decent length of operation... or burning through a 9v or 2 for every gig. Not great for the environment. The money you spend on 9v could be put towards another system that runs on rechargeable AAs. 7. Fixed frequencies - making it near enough impossible to coexist with any other wireless you may have in the same part of the spectrum (typically channel 70) 8. Absolutely horrendous limiter on the receiver - is that a ducker mixed with a distortion pedal? 9. Comes with awful 112 headphones... if you want to know exactly how bad the mix is when it arrives at the receiver, these headphones will do a good job of mashing up the final sound just that little bit more. 10. You can get equally bad performing wireless inear systems for a lot less money. You are paying a lot for a poor system just to have the privilege of buying the tried and trusted name of "Shure". 11. Do I need to go on? They are an absolute crime to inears - and for a lot of people who "have tried inears and it was rubbish", the PSM200 is a common factor. I'm sure its the same systems that are being bought and sold on eBay as people find out exactly how awful the PSM200 is. Go wired, or go PSM300 (with pro pack), EW300 or PSM900 (appreciate this is quite a significant price increase - but great wireless that is comparable to a hardwired connection costs money!)

In which case, you should have a great time on the ZS10s.
-
If you like sub bass, it’s likely you are going to be looking at some serious inears to get the low end response with some serious headroom. The best thing to do is give the ZS10s a go. You’ll be surprised how much those headphones can handle in the bass - and if you decide you need more, well... you are probably looking for a quad balanced armature in the lows. Having said that, some “bass heads” that I know, find the UE6s more than ample. Depends where your benchmark is I guess.

Ah yes, another “I tried in ears and they sounded crap” candidate in the making.

A&H Qu if I recall. You going to be enjoying that! :-)
