  1. For an idea of what a good seal sounds like... put your fingers as deep as you can into your ears to block out as much sound as you can. If the seal on your inears don't sound comparable (or better), the fit isn't good.
  2. Paul at custom IEM company - don’t go anywhere else! He deals in the best.
  3. http://www.timetravelaudio.co.uk/shop/components/switches/foot-switches/3pdt-foot-switch-illuminated-type-with-led-ring-colour-options-on-led-cap/ Just one example The keywords in your search need to include "illuminated" and "led" plus then your choice of footswitch type.
  4. Had a proper listen. That's not too shabby that - stereo, digital... and not as expensive as the top performing analogue stereo counterparts. As long as the RF is stable, I don't reckon you've done too bad there. And don't forget, theres also the stereo headphone amp built into it, so theres your wired bail out in an emergency option without impacting your wiring at the desk.
  5. Thanks for doing that - I will get my headphones out and give them a proper comparison at some point. I'm on a phone at the moment, so I don't think it would be a fair indication as a phone gives you no bass response anyway! On phone listen, they sound quite close.
  6. @dave_bass5 - Could you do a recording through the device into a DAW? The same thing direct, and one via the wireless? It would be good to hear the quality of the audio.
  7. No advantages as such - apart from smaller footprint. With P2, you can't do balanced stereo and can't do a mix of the two channels.
  8. Conversely, it could be the Lekato causing the other systems to drop out.
  9. I have seen this before, it's a rebadge of the MiPro 2.4 system and I have toyed with getting one. I have no experience of it.. but the Mipro 5.8 digital system gets some great reviews and if you scroll back you'll see how good that sounds. Now, I know that doesn't necessarily translate between models... but as I say, if Thomann did the 5.8 system, I'd buy one straight off to try. Maybe the 2.4 is worth a shot for you? You could always send it back if it didn't suit (although I appreciate thats a semi pita)
  10. Ah... yes. Decent wireless <> cheap.
  11. I do, however given your email exists on a certain list that I'm seeing, you're new round these parts, I'm a bit reluctant to take this forward...
  12. More gadgety stuff for consideration https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cubilux-Bidirectional-4-Channel-Headphones-Subwoofer-6-35mm/dp/B0B45MZG1J/?th=1
  13. You've not done any sound limiter gigs, have you?
  14. You can get an ace setup for under a 100 quid.
  15. IEMs are great, if you get it right, you’ll never want to play without them. Just don’t throw money away. Have you read the IEM bible?
  16. The PSM200 is utter dog, especially for bass - due to its compander. It sucks out all the low end and makes the top end quite shrill. Don't base your move to IEMs on this unit!
  17. Good call - Paul will sort you out. UE6 would be my only exception for going lower than a quad.
  18. In short - more drivers = more headroom and more control (speakers don't have to work as hard to get to a comfortable operating volume). Think of a 1x10 speaker vs a 8x10 cab for. practice. Youll be thraping that 1x10 to keep up with a drum kit and it won't necessarily be sounding its best... but the 8x10 will be on tickover. Its not as easy as that though - the more drivers (especially of varying types) you put into an earpiece, the more difficult it is to get them to work cohesively, without phasing issues. The big advantage the larger brands have, is that they can order balanced armatures to their specific needs to manufacture a device that will fit precisely with their designs. Smaller operations just haven't got the budget available to do such things. The thing is, creating a decent sounding multidriver IEM is difficult and time consuming - and in reality, the R&D that you paying for. The cost of IEMs were historically high due to the very hands on process in creating them. Whilst this has been reduced due to 3d printing etc - it's now the investment in the manufacturing machines that require the money! Anyway, you are right, there is a certain element of diminishing returns... I think the sweet spot is a quad - T, M, B, B... but for sure, you'll pay more and get better performance... but the gains may not seem that great compared to the investment. And of course, each IEM has a different sound signature... so some people won't like the inherent sound signature of a set of IEMs, just like people prefer one bass cab over another. IEMs generally are not flat response - because historically flat response isn't what the human ear likes. With digital desks, this has become less of a crucial point... don't like certain bumps in the IEM signature? Simple, a digital desk with a EQ on the aux output can fix that... As for JH... well... JH have Jerry's knowhow - and he has arguably been the top tier designer of IEMs... and is still pushing the boundaries today.
  19. Have been doing a bit of snooping around. Seems quite a well thought out unit. And removing the screen is actually quite a smart move as that is the bit that is going to get broken at a gig when something falls on it. I would imagine there’s loads of folk who are used to carrying the toaster/rack plus pedalboard and analogue pedalboard rejoicing at this. Not sure what is happening in Kemper world though. They seem to have lost a bit of favour of late… but let’s see how things play out.
  20. I like it. Theyve needed something like this in their line up for some time!
