  1. Good call - Paul will sort you out. UE6 would be my only exception for going lower than a quad.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I like it. Theyve needed something like this in their line up for some time!
  5. Man, I was asked to do a lock down collar of The Crunge. I didn't know the song (Im not really a LZ fan... but the timing on that, well, it took me a while to get my head around!) On first listen I was, yeah, ok... easy enough... then I tried playing along with it!
  6. This kinda got me interested as a low cost option... (sounds good from the demo too)... but alas, frequencies not UK legal. Posting here just for interest really. (Yes, design cues lifted straight from Shure!)
  7. Must admit, slightly disappointed there isn't a review from you up there yet...
  8. Not if you remove the source pic. I'll remove from the quote anyway.
  9. No you don't. Direct connect. Although I'd ditch the g4m unit and use a wired connection so you can hear just how much better a direct connection using a Behringer P2 is compared to those wireless units.
  10. Didn't read that you could add another in before completing... so I'd like to offer up Rutger Gunnarsson and fave bass line of his, One Of Us.
  11. Just been through the live stream. Pretty decent that. Interested in what cameras are in use as they are pretty good for ambient light levels.
  12. Googling "Levys MPD2-104" should give you a multitude of your favourite stores to choose from. I have that very book too. The complete scores book was the bible to me though - gave me the foundations in bass too.
  13. 100% - I think that online videos are defo the way to go now if you are going to be learning by yourself... but also want something physical for him to open on Christmas day. This JustinGuitar stuff looks quite good... I'm also hoping that my nephew takes to it and my bro goes down the 1 on 1 tutor route if it's not just a passing fad.
  14. The strap... (Totally appreciate he won't recognise half the folk on there - but he can learn in time)
  15. Hi hive... I'm looking for a guitar book for my 8 year nephew who is getting his first acoustic guitar for Christmas. I've found him a funky as strap... and now looking for a book - but have absolutely no idea what I should be getting. I learned guitar through the full scores Beatles white book... however I don't think that will work for him as my bro has not introduced him to the delights of The Beatles. My nephew is more a die hard Ed Sheeran fan anyway... hence the acoustic want over an electric. So... any recommendations? Many thanks in advance....
  16. Just a bit. We're talking at least a couple of thousand pounds a channel. Interesting choice of frequencies though (if you know, you know)
  17. Moved onto proper wireless - Axient! Not cheap!
