Wow. Didn't expect them to do that!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1424905375' post='2701889'] Alphabet song! [/quote] Just for you Pete... [url="https://soundcloud.com/rh_music/the-alphabet"]https://soundcloud.c...ic/the-alphabet[/url] (apologies for the cack recording... I can't even remember anything about this recording!)

A classic. And (almost) everybody already knows the lyrics!

I still like the EBS Multicomp. Currently rocking the MXR compressor... Doesn't do it for me like the EBS compressor though. Have to say MXR is pretty much all over my pedal board nowadays. Great pedals.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1424905214' post='2701883'] Really? 13 times we played there, there was a goof every time! [/quote] I think I saw you at the Varsity. Can't remember. Think the last time I was in the Varsity was when I was in there with the 'zon.

40k a year on average.

`Madonna. Brits. That's all.

[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1424888773' post='2701623'] Much as I love SW's early work, to these ears every cover that I've heard sounds 'cruise ship' - unless its the RHCP version of Higher ground, which I consider to be toss. [/quote] Just a bit! Superstition, as mentioned before... I've grown to hate that song because loads of bands have sucked all the groove out of it. I hate playing it myself.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1424889302' post='2701632'] You have witnessed most of mine live mate! Were you at The Varsity when Andy fell off the stage reaching for his beer and took the tuners off the Les Paul? [/quote] Wasn't there - I think the first time I saw you with Andy was at the Bull and Gate down in sweet old Kentish Town! Some crazy bands on the bill if I remember. Can remember seeing you at the Little Civic too. Can't remember if I actually saw you at the Varsity or not!?

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1424869338' post='2701343'] Watched the episode. How to change a PR coup into a PR disaster in 2 minutes! [/quote] Incredible isn't it? What they did do that fella that handed his notice in and then retracted it was unforgivable. They must have known it was on the cards so the kindest thing would have been to let him go to his employment elsewhere.

[quote name='JAUQO III-X' timestamp='1424659633' post='2698898'] I don't want to say but the top three are long standing USA companies. [/quote] Why is it such a secret?

Watch the US version of undercover bosses with Peavey...

[quote name='JAUQO III-X' timestamp='1424656270' post='2698886'] Ashdown happens to be the fourth selling brand of bass amps in the world. [/quote] Out of interest, who are the top three?

Of course, the guitardist turns around and turns up the amp. Why would we expect any different?

You got a short list yet?

Even if you make a choice on the model, you've got the nightmare choice of colour/design!

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1424293731' post='2694932'] Not sure a demo's been posted yet... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b7UttqFowU"]https://www.youtube....h?v=4b7UttqFowU[/url] It comes with a wireless transmitter and is sounding pretty cool [/quote] I think so too.

You aren't comparing apples with apples - the tiny drivers of the shure vs the beefier dynamic drivers in your audio technicas? Thats like saying a Focus is crap at offroading compared to a Land Rover. The frequency responses are ludicrous also - if the AT goes down to 5 hz, you won't hear it anyway and the frequency curve drop off will be so steep I reckon it will be around 40hz or higher where the ATs really respond in a useful manner. This will be similar with the Shures also. And as far as top end frequency response, 28khz? Good luck hearing up there. Again, they'll be subject to the same frequency drop off. There are plenty of after market cables for the Shures but I would wager they won't give you the results you are looking for out of a low price IEM. A 315 is a slight upgrade over a 215, like you requested and they do have a slightly different sound signature. If you are looking at balanced armature technology that competes with the very best of over ear technology you are looking at 800 quid plus...

Thanks for the kind words mr zed. The only reason that I post so passionately here is because I know how good things can be with IEMs - it's a whole new world - but most people give up on them because they don't give it what it takes. As shown above, a quad with a G2 EW300 is incredibly good - note, a G2 to all intents and purposes is the same as the G3 in performance, except the G3 makes use of both the internal aerial and the monitor cable as an aerial for a little bit better reception. Unless you are on crazy big stages, the real world performance difference is negligible. (Note, G3 is not dual diversity - it just has a single antenna.)

For 60 quid, may aswell give it a shot to see if you can get something working.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1424081555' post='2692245'] so if you use 2, but ones that haven't got very good isolation that should do the trick? I'm trying to find the easiest way to solve the monitoring problem for our singer without spending a load of cash and making setting up a pain in the arse. for instance what's wrong with this? [url="http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Wireless-In-Ear-Monitor-System-by-Gear4music/OUE"]http://www.gear4musi...-Gear4music/OUE[/url] [/quote] Potentially leaky monitors could do the trick to do the ambient thing - but monitors are all about control (you put what you want to hear down them with nothing from the outside world to harm the mix) - so if you go down that route, remember that each gig could be different in terms of volume (for example the guitar amp could be right behind the singer one gig and not the next). I've said it many times in this thread and I'll say it again, you can't really do an IEM solution on the cheap and it be good. If you compromise on aux send (e.g. desk), transmissions (e.g. the wired cable or wireless unit) or in ear monitors, you are already losing the game. I hear many people that have said they have tried IEMs and they are rubbish... but usually its because they have skimped on 1 (or usually all) of the 3 parts. I would suggest some moulded ear plugs and a wedge over IEMs if the cash is tight. As for the monitoring system you posted, I have no experience of that system so can't comment on it's particular performance... but what I will say, my experience of cheaper systems is that they are noisy, lacking in bass, prone to drop outs and produce a generally harsh and fatiguing sound. Even some of the more expensive systems (e.g. the PSM200) - I think are very poor. It may be worth a punt... but be mindful that you would be lucky to get the same sort of quality out of a 60 quid system vs something like an EW300.
