Top tip - never get involved with courier companies. 🤡s

It's his hat, right?

You missed off the bit where dood stated combo jack (as in both 1/4" and XLR)...

Stainless DR Hi Beam. Untouchable. If you want higher tension... Stainless DR Lo Rider.

Don't do this - you over compensate for your open ear and the volume coming into your ear from the IEM will be dangerously loud and you risk permanent damage.

Hot glue gun!

@jensenmann - I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Orchid box, I still reckon it's the best DI box for the incredibly cheap price (I moved from BSS). Even the SOS guys seem to agree - http://orchid-electronics.co.uk/Sound-On-Sound_Orchid_DI_Boxes_review.PDF

So confirmation - jiffy bag found sans peli case with Roxannes inside. I guess the customs declaration of "earphones" and their value was too much of a temptation for some light fingered miscreant.

Gigged on my ACS - they just don't do bass . I miss my Roxannes already - can't wait for whatever the situation that is going on at the moment to be resolved. Sounds like another day battling on the phones to see what it going on. In other news, still waiting upon some Red ZS10s to land on these shores... looking forward to hearing those.

On the way.

Things to really grind your gears... getting a notification from parcel force saying that your Roxanne IEMs have been damaged in transit. *sigh*

Scroll up a bit.. found a place in Singapore... but not a lot happening elsewhere at the moment. Certainly don't know of anybody who has ever rehoused dynamic drivers though.

Which here are you at?

Theyre actually Knowles balanced armatures (albeit generic off the shelf ones)... so they are the real deal in terms of quality of components.The issue is going to be finding somebody that is prepared to rehouse a dynamic driver... in fact, at the moment, you are hard pushed finding anybody to rehouse and sort of driver! Re: custom moulds - only had a conversation tonight about the importance of a custom fit. They are definitely the biggest improvement you can make to an IEM solution. Better isolation = less outside bleed = lower volume = drivers not working as hard = less distortion = better sound.

Indeed - the KZ earpieces have certainly ruffled some feathers. But what I would say is that the KZs are using off the shelf balanced armatures which in themselves are compromised to begin with.. and I certainly wouldn't be sure that the tuning, phase alignment, dampening and crossover were as good as the more expensive counterparts. As I've stated earlier, that response curve is quite telling... however, as you say, cheap enough to be great value for money.

They havent - its just the grey import market that enabled the purchase of much cheaper units has been (mostly) sewn up.

Must be quite difficult running a shop like BD so I doff my cap to them... although my most memorable BD gaffe was seen when looking at the used basses, the bass in question was described as mint... yet in the description, went on to detail the small amount of damage that was present on it

The dynamic is probably responsible for helping in the lows... and the smoothing out of the top end is probably due to the notable recess in the highs. Sound like a good result though - glad you are pleased with them. Given the end of the cheaper UE900s, these seem to be a good low cost alternative! Yay for KZ. Talking of dynamics, really looking forward to hearing the new UE live piece... it seems to be that the adding of a dynamic seems to be the on trend thing. Funny - people seem to be taking note now... but Unique Melody were doing it way back with the Merlin (2 high, 2 mid, 1 low (dynamic)) In other news, my Roxannes have gone to JH for an overhaul, the RHS seems to have become recessed in the highs... and it doesn't seem to be a wax buildup... so we shall see. Mind you, they have had a lot of use. Not looking forward to the bill though

I love a good speaker burn in thread...

I guess the easy solution is to get a modeller if you having problems getting things eqed as you’d like. Maybe try the cheaper but highly capable zoom as a starting point.

Here’s my tip! Use IEMs!

True. All complete BS. And then there's the amps...

@stingrayPete1977- The Mottram bass. Of course.

Pretty much!

There's a great deal to be said for this. A good sound man is a good addition to your band line up, not just from a mix point of view... but from a performance point of view. Tapped delays, different fx, muting unused open mics, right down to the turning off of all fx when talking to the audience etc.. all add to the professionalism of the performance. I've only ever known of one band that performs with an unsigned band in this manner... and they sounded great for it (although they did still have to carry a desk and split and give the house engineer a L/R).
