Hmm, this sounds like a EM and lack of shielding within the unit issue.
-
And you've checked the power connection is seated properly?
-
What else is plugged into the mixer? Does it still make a noise when you have got just the mixer plugged in and nothing else apart from the U4?
-
I can't actually remember the last time I used backline.
-
Ah yeah, it wont give your the aux on feed on the mic. Sorrrreee....
-
Theres a certain amount of ego that you set out to bring your own signature to market. (Note how he's approaching the manufacturers, not the other way around). Get a custom instrument built, end of - 10:20 - like most normal people. -

LOL, I remember Alex having a pop at me about requiring more than one cab... yet here we are. I love that Matamp!
-
It depends... because the output impedances and capacitance of guitar/bass pickups are not comparable with mics, so the losses are different... plus you are looking at the balanced vs unbalanced questions, so the introduction of noise on a balanced connection is not a concern... unlike that of the unbalanced connection for the guitar/bass.

Love a good modular rig! This was before the days I dumped it all for ampless IEM setup. Funnily enough, I much preferred the HD350 to the TD650. I dont know why, just sounds better to my ears. If I was still needing amps, I would defo be looking at the EBS lump you got. Mind you, I've still got all this gear so... moot point!
-
The detail will be down to the Balanced Armatures compared to the dynamics of the AT.
-
Agreed - that's why I do such things whilst watching TV. If you are going to burn time in front of the idiot box, you may as well get something productive out of it. For the less than 10 minutes to make a reliable speaker cable (I reckon I could make one in less than 5) - it seems a good investment to support the knowledge that your gear is good to go. But maybe that's just me.
-
As above, make them up yourself... but I would recommend H07RN-F cable (2 core). Once you've used that cable, you'll want to use it for everything, super flexible, no kinks in your cables, easy to coil for transport... and lies flat on stage. Brilliant stuff.

24-bit 48 kHz digital systems means that you are running above CD quality (16 bit 44.1 kHz). It's pretty safe to assume that, especially in a gigging situation, you'd be hard pushed to hear any subtle nuances in the A<>D conversions. Given the fact that the delivery medium is likely to be digital, or through a digital desk, you are going to be converting to 24-bit 48kHz at some point... even if you are lucky to have a 96kHz desk, if you are using wireless, you've already downsampled to 48kHz at some point in your bass chain (although having said that, a few 96kHz systems are beginning to crop up). There's quite an interesting (it's not) debate to be had about 48kHz vs 96kHz, - streaming from handling of transients, anti-aliasing etc etc... In reality, I suspect the reality of what most people can hear, it's a moot point. The big win for me, is the reduced latency - so less latency in plugins, less latency in IEMs... but at a CPU cost and reduced buffer size. Anyway, risk of thread derailment.
-
Latency doesn’t impact tone - it doesn’t relate to the question I was answering.
-
You will notice less loss of top end when comparing digital wireless to longer cable runs - a few systems have a cable tone simulation for this very reason (just lops a bit of the top end off). Analogue wireless... bit of a lottery. Good companders will mean less perceived signal loss... but certainly you will get a loss in top and bottom end due to the compander.
-
That'd be nice above that array of Bergs.
-
That 212. Hands down best EBS cab.
-
Aha! I see. I didn't know either.
-
@dave_bass5- I think your thoughts ran away with you. Are you talking about the standard wireless (for instruments?)
-
Can't beat a little freshen up! Now get a brush and get all that gunk out of your bridge!

Bass > PA.

UE900 are long since obsolete. If you were looking at a reshell from lugs anyway (with a donor set of UE900) you’d be in for around 500 - which is circa the price of Roberts triple and quad anyway… If you like what you have, give lugs a shout - don’t know if they will rehouse dynamic drivers… but you know, nothing to lose by shooting an email. Circa 250 for the shells and a bit extra for ear impressions should see you under 500 total spend (especially if using your existing mees as the donor)

BA = balanced armature. Type of driver... (typically IEMs use BAs... and can use dynamic drivers (like how'd you'd think of a typical speaker)) Dont quote me... but I suspect all the manufacture of these drivers are done in China anyway. Knowles certainly has a manufacturing presence in China. re: custom drivers for manufacturers, just remembered that I read something about the tweeter in the JH Sharona that was down to a unique partnership with Knowles... let me see if I can find the link. EDIT: here you go - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220502005085/en/JH-Audio-Debuts-Flagship-In-Ear-Monitor-with-Exceptional-Treble-by-Knowles’-New-Balanced-Armature-Supertweeter Also - I suspect that that the mass production market will be using off the shelf drivers (I know KZ do), whereas the large custom IEM companies, such as JH as evidenced above, have some tailor made, as I said before, to engineer themselves out of some of the constraints when building multiple driver pieces.
-
The component prices of BAs tend not to be too high. The cost associated with manufacture was historically down the the labour intensive custom shells that were hand poured. With 3D printing, the labour intensity has decreased dramatically and build times have gone down incredibly. However, what you are really paying for, is the the R and D in getting an IEM tuned nicely. So this means the manufacturers scope out loads of different drivers and tubes and damping to get the crossovers as good as can be. Of course, some manufacturers spec their own custom BAs to engineer their way out of the constraints of combining off the shelf drivers. Notably JHs single housed quad BA (recall its Sonion) escaped the issues of phase alignment for example - and is built specifically to their spec. So in short, types/manufacturers of drivers is only a small part in making an IEM sound good (or bad).
