  1. USP of 96khz and probably A and H see themselves as a step above Behringer. Maybe a comparison to the MR18 would be more appropriate?
  2. No, you'd have to combine the outputs of two users into one summing mixer. Use a Insert cable from the U4s into a PM1 for example.
  3. Yup. Didn't demonstrate any mixer focused knowledge in that video either.
  4. His knowledge of mixers and their functionality would clearly be lacking.
  5. Gosh. The Anderton's guy is sooooo annoying. It's like I've been dragged into a transmission of QVC. Great piece of kit, only thing that is a bit of a is the lack of connectivity to the ME personal monitors - which given that the XR18 has the ultranet, is a bit of a disappointment. But everything else, spot on I reckon.
  6. https://reverb.com/uk/item/35930091-ampeg-v9-1979-910-9x10 75kg. Nice.
  7. I find them more isolating than tips still, due to the higher volume of density of material in your ear canal. (e.g. customs tend to have a much larger solid amount of acrylic or silicone in the ear canal compared to tips). The best way to approximate what customs sound like in terms of isolation, is to put your fingers into your ears as deep as you can - it's like that (even to the point where if you talk you can hear it resonate in your head).
  8. This is to go after the touchmix, ui, xr, Mackie market. 96khz is great to see too. Will the XR18 become unseated as weekend warrior mixer of choice?
  9. Now these look interesting - Allen and Heaths new line of CQ mixers. "Allen & Heath has unveiled its new CQ series, a trio of compact digital mixers for musicians and bands, audio engineers, home producers, small venues, and AV installers, that places ease of use and speed of setup firmly at the heart of the user experience. “CQ takes our renowned processing and effects, adds exciting new assistive mixing tools, and packages it all up into our smallest, and most affordable, digital mixer series yet,” says Keith Johnson, Product Manager at Allen & Heath. “Usually at this price point, users are forced to choose between a mid-range analogue mixer, lacking in modern features, or an entry-level digital mixer, where corners have inevitably been cut. With CQ there are no compromises. It’s a fully featured 96kHz mixer with stunning audio quality and intelligent tools that, regardless of your experience, lets you mix smarter, sound better and work faster. Just add sound!” Built around an innovative new 96kHz processing engine, the series comprises the CQ-12T and CQ-18T desktop mixers featuring tactile controls and a seven-inch multi-touch screen, and the portable CQ-20B stage box mixer, all controllable via the companion CQ apps. The processing engine, utilising Allen & Heath’s FPGA technology, brings numerous time-saving tools to the CQ to speed up and simplify common tasks for users of all abilities. Gain Assistant automatically sets preamp gain to the optimal level and monitors and adjusts for any unexpected peaks in the signal. Feedback Assistant identifies and filters out problem frequencies across all outputs via simple one-button operation, with more in-depth control available for challenging acoustical environments. Input channels can be switched between a Quick Input, giving users a source-specific set of controls with single knob control of channel processing, or a Complete Input for full control of all channel processing parameters. Additionally, an Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) is present on all input channels, instantly improving clarity and reducing background noise in speech-based applications. The CQ range also introduces a new suite of high-quality, user-friendly reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for speedy setup, while the FX Assist tool shapes the FX by dynamically responding to the input signal for optimal clarity. The CQ-18T and CQ-20B offer 4 FX engines and the CQ-12T features 2 FX engines. All three CQ mixers benefit from flexible recording and playback options including a multichannel USB audio interface, multitrack SD card playback and recording, simple stereo recording and playback via an external USB drive, plus convenient stereo Bluetooth playback. The CQ series is supported by a pair of free multi-platform apps. The CQ-MixPad app enables remote control of the mixer from anywhere in the venue, while the CQ4You app empowers performers to take control of their personal monitor mix via their mobile devices. The CQ-18T and CQ-20B also benefit from integrated high-performance dual-band Wi-Fi for quick and easy connection of control apps without any additional network equipment. The CQ-18T provides 16 mic/line inputs and 1 stereo input, the smaller CQ-12T includes 10 mic/line inputs and 1 stereo input, and the stage-friendly CQ-20B offers 16 mic/line inputs, two of which can be used as Hi-Z instrument inputs, and 2 stereo inputs. All three models feature 6 independent outputs which can be configured to run up to 3 stereo outputs." Yum. If pricing is right, these look spot on.
  10. 55.6k views in the buoyant IEM Bible thread. There's plenty of interest - mindset change is the hardest, and of course, the user experience is only as good as the sum of the components. If your mixer cant hack it, you haven't got the FoH oomph to put your bass through and your IEMs are rubbish (e.g. the phones you get free with your phone), then yeah, results are going to be variable.
  11. That looks great. Weird monitoring setup… but hey. If that had multichannel record, that would be ridiculous - and I’d be all over it.
  12. I like this one better.
  13. Not a fake. Genuine copy. Or a tribute.
  14. Girl plays Bob Babbitt line and sings over the top. Somebody liked it. Somebody shared it. Seems like not everybody understands what they are listening to. But some* women bass players get likes... cos simps.
  15. I guess nobody actually reads the wealth of information at the front of this thread then? section 2.4....
  16. *cough cough* RTFM. Come Onnnnnnnnn (It's cos it would seem to be deceptively simple... but it still gets ya!)
  17. the other design fault is that if you drop the unit, the battery can pop out. Easy when you know - but annoying when you are under the pressures of the gig and you are faced with the problem for the first time. Even more annoying when you find out that the wearer dropped it and didn’t tell you. Especially annoying when the battery was fresh in and the unit was confirmed as working by me. ”it just stopped working” ”nothing to do with you dropping it then?” Anyway, nothing a bit of knowledge or gaffa can’t fix.
  18. So, who is going to own up to creating the fake OC-2 profile, claiming to be Marcus?
  19. Love posts like those. "Shop delivers on goods that have been paid for shocker!"
  20. * looks in other direction, specifically avoiding eye contact with Beedster *
  21. Supplying Shure PSM200 IEMs deserves a firing.
