You can't pick 'Bluegrass Breakdown' on your car though, can you? :mandosmiley:
Treat as any other piezo transducer. These tend to work best into a very high impedance input. Encountered one of that model paired with a Baggs preamp and it sounded about how you'd expect.
Sad to hear this. I corresponded with Ivan back and forth over many years. He will be missed. A true gentleman and a fine picker.
RIP.
Yes.. good mics are one thing than can last ages if looked after. Most tech these days is practically out-of-date within a very short time, but good mics just keep going. I have a Sennheiser MKH416...
I've never seen these mentioned here, as usually, they are most popular as part of recording rigs for video or broadcast use. The K6 system is based around a power/preamp module which is purchased...
Highly unlikely there ever was any 'neck repair'. It is just a cover story to account for the fact that the neck is nothing like a genuine A5G neck!
That looks like it might be a stripped down, refinished Asian import which has then been 'faked up' with the rather audacious label and poorly-done headstock. Shocking, actually.
Those are not Bluetooth. They are 2.4 GHz wireless.
This is an issue with all instrument mounted mics.
The thing I found was that when using them you need a different playing technique to compensate. Varying volume by picking intensity rather than...
I have had no issue with transmitted physical noise from the pick-guard. I do, however, always use the variable low-cut filters on the console (QSC Touchmix 16) to 'edit out' much below 196Hz. I can...
Is the room treated?
That is one of the most under-rated but important factors of all in getting a good result.
Mic position is next. Try moving the mic(s) around while checking the results. If...
Just get a nice case... then play the heck out of it. I would not take one "up the jungle", but I do take mine with me every time I perform. Would not go anywhere to play without it.
TC Polytune. These are a seriously fine tuner!
Seems to define "That ain't no part of nothin'" in my opinion.
'Hi Z' is the correct technical term as 'Z' is the formula for impedance in electronic calculations.
Orchid DI's are really excellent. Their technical performance is up there with the very best at a fraction of the price.
I've used their stuff for years. Never had a failure.
Yes. It is.
The problem with the Ui16 preamps is the chip they used. There certainly IS a link between the "hiss" level and having phantom power engaged, however... it only manifests as you crank the gain right...
You can certainly go from a good 'acoustic' preamp direct into a high quality full-range powered speaker. The QSC K10's and K8's are ideal for this. It essentially gives you an all-in-one 'acoustic...
The Triton Fethead PHANTOM does work fine with the Ui16. Solves the excess noise issue. I have tested that myself.
Sound reinforcement is a relatively undemanding application, in most respects. Hence, you can get very good sound from an SM57/58 (used correctly). Studio sound, and film/broadcast sound tends to...
Quoting myself from some time back...
" the 'Edwina' is built around the Transound TSB2555a electret 1" capsule (retail price $12) and uses the generic (very simple) Schoeps transformerless FET...
I think one reason the KSM's are popular is because they are very tough, well-engineered and stand up well to outdoor/live use. They are also very consistent. All mics have their own 'sonic...
1) Good condenser mic on a stand (preferred) straight into a QSC Touchmix.
2) Audio Technica ATM-350 (second choice) also straight into the QSC.
4) AKG C411 contact mic (only in really bad/loud...
