[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1462355934' post='3042277'] I suppose this is where those six D&B monitors would really shine as long as they weren't hired out when you needed them? :-) [/quote] D&B? I thought they were DB? So much confusion.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1459716408' post='3018970'] [/quote] Those EAD cabs really were beautiful things.

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1461936801' post='3038933'] Perhaps a pair of VERY dark glasses so you don't see it all when you dep for me next? [/quote] Ha! I don't think the FunkTrunk[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]™ [/size][/font][/color]will be on that gig will it?

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1461935550' post='3038911'] You need to be telling that to FunkMum™ and SoulDaddy © [/quote] It would proper do my nut having those two receivers perched on top of the FunkTrunk™... mind you, mismatched receivers is causing me to break out into a sweat.

Not the QU16 - Im a GLD80 man - but I know the QU16 well. A mate of mine uses one and it's a perfect bit of kit for what we all want to achieve. I try to get play time on a whole load of desks so I can compare how they all perform. Currently trying to find where I can get my hands on a Soundcraft UI for a bit. The onboard looks pretty impressive... but then again, so is the Behringer stuff. I was pleasantly surprised by the QSC Touchmix... would recommend that for it's easy of use. Very straightforward and intuitive. Anyway, I digress. CIEMs will rock your socks off - defo go for the quad for the extended bass headroom. 1964 have just changed to 64 Audio and are now embracing the Adel technology - and as a consequence, the prices have hiked significantly, so you may want to start looking at the other main brands also and see what deals they have as all the prices have pretty much levelled (with regard to driver count) across the field. Anyway, JH Audio and 1964 tend to have Black Friday deals so thats the date to keep in your calendar. I agree - on paper, that Thomann snake is very, very competitively priced! Very interested! As there's loads of pics being posted, lets keep up the trend... here's the GLD80! Although I am using this more and more, primarily due to it's portability - but I do miss the comprehensive fx section of the A&H.

Mic receivers you say Tony? Rack that shizzle up!

I like these IEM posts... keep them coming. Here's some more from me. C'mon Mr Zed, join the party! Tonyf, where's the SCS funk trunk? Here's one of my inears rigs on top of my cabs. I swear bands love me when I dep - they always ask with much excitement if I am bringing an inears rig with me! Funnily enough, I was also asked to look after the QSC Touchmix (which is sitting on top of the flightcase). Brilliant little unit - super easy to use and sounds great - and reliable built in wifi for iPad mixing off stage. What's not to like? And no, it's not overkill for a pub gig. The acoustics at the pictured venue are terrible - three foot horrible hollow stage. In-ears? Meh, no problem.

I'm well pleased that this thread has inspired others to make the leap to the wild side of IEM! Great looking rig and I see that you are using the Thomann Ssnake - I've been looking at them as a cheaper alternative to wiring up my Van damme looms when utilising a splitter (once in a blue moon kinda stuff). Whats the quality of them like? sunsse - what desk you using to drive all this good stuff? My loom - still got to sort this out at the next soldering club - Much soldering, heatshrinking and braiding... and hopefully we'll be there! And stereo - yes, it's a blessing!

This all sounds very interesting. Looking forward to the pics!

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1461766935' post='3037444'] These tribute things make me smile. Why not make them while they are still alive to show real appreciation to the person concerned? Waiting until they're dead makes it more of a statement about themselves rather than the object of their supposed tribute. [/quote] I suspect they may well have done... ...and Prince would have had his people take them down. YouTube has never had so much Prince content.

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1461314153' post='3033515'] Although I was never particularly a big fan of his music, the guy was an unquestionably huge talent. Wrote a lot of songs for other artists too, and a wide range of artists at that.... He liked to not give record companies or the music industry much control, and I admire that, and the way he did everything himself and kept control over his work The past 4 or 5 months have seen the demise of so much talent, it's unbelievable RIP Prince EDIT: I've this morning heard a radio report saying he had around a hundred albums worth of unreleased material - Staggering! [/quote] Yup - the infamous vault. Contains loads of unreleased full blown music videos too. I'm hoping that he was planing for them to be released post his death... I think the world wants to know what was in the vault. There is talk of said vault on this video (it's in the last five mins) - but this video is worth 30 minutes of anybody's time if you are interested in Prince. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhcParuzpc

Daily Mail (I know, I know) suggesting drugs link. :-/

Also - yes - both crimped into same Powercon! Future IEMs can be chained off same PSU - it's got a fairly beefy output. Any mains devices can be split from the current IEC going into the XR18.

I think the neatness and success of these projects has more to do with Pete than me. He's a dab hand. I think it's years under classic car bonnets. I've made up cables in the past but a single cable is more like an hours work for me!

Holy thread revival!

Last time at soldering club.

Mr Zed - how you getting on? Soldering club with my best mate StingrayPete (he used to frequent these parts). Just a note, the braided ground on Van Damme cable is a bitch to strip back! Mind you, there should be zero interference on those cables! (Maybe a bit overkill for such a short run... but hey). Note - There's no run of cable ties across this rack - the cables from the front panel are in thick heat shrink and cable tied to the rack ears directly next to them... so figured there's not enough movement in the cable to worry about that.

You forgot the Samson power distribution unit. :-p

Squints... PSM 300, LD1000... XSW, X32, Kemper. I like this game :-)

Martin is a class act with regards to fitting LEDs. He goes in via the side of the neck, lower side.

The cost of the Countryman H6 generally scares people off!

Nice

I don't get the "dark" thing. Everytime I've played a bass with Barts I kinda find the opposite. Maybe they just require a circuit?

Sennheiser ME3 - a good mic without going into silly money. Drummers and vocals are always quite tough without outboard available. What you really want is the ability to gate his vocals when he isn't singing, and make sure you have a 31 band EQ to notch out any problematic frequencies. Digital desks are king. You may want to explore the gooseneck attachment approach too - [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/vocal-miking-for-the-singing-drummer/"]http://www.sweetwate...inging-drummer/[/url] - just make sure you go for a compact mic. Great thing is that you can mute it and swing it out of the way when not in use - minimises the risk of a panting drummer coming out of front of house. Hope this helps.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1460669577' post='3027816'] Fantastic - thanks Russ - done some research and some creative thinking and have hatched a plan. I think I'll go for the 4u option and start drilling - more than likely into the blanking plate of the iem transmitter (the bit that the aerial screws into). I'll procure the bits needed and get busy with the soldering iron. Rack porn photos will be posted in due course. Thanks for taking the time to give me the steer with this. [/quote] No problems. Would recommend you check this too - [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/double-door-flight-cases/road-ready-rrwm4u-4u-wireless-microphone-case"]https://www.bax-shop...microphone-case[/url] = although check out whats going on with the foam in the lids. It's not as deep so less wasted space inside - just check the measurements are suitable for your needs. RoadReady cases are amongst the best cases I've used or seen, along with Amptown cases. The latter are pretty expensive though. Drilling through the IEM plate should be easy enough. A couple of grommets and you are away. Powercon could be more tricky to drill though! Looking forward to the pics. Good luck!
