might have to dig out my old trumpets and poast pic of them. i have a 'slide trumpet' also called a piccolo trombone that was made in 1916-17. was my grandfathers and he gave it to me.

My interface won't turn on It uses an AC adapter is an ALESES MultiMix6 USB 2.0.

Is it likely the AC adapter or the interface? Feel like crying

I have established the adapter is ****ed and its 10v and apazrently they just do not exist on pkanet earth and cant find parts for this interface **** my life

this (and a digi002 rack) are all that remain of my old setup. probably my favorite of the mics i've owned.



it just sits there now. doubt i'll ever even use it again

Anyone tried the iPhone app ClearTune?

I got it, very pleased with it so far.



As a brag, I sang that perfect B btw

TOLD YOU PEOPLE YOU COULD GET A PERFECT E WITH A PHONE

here you go mang.

Has anyone had any experience with JBL EON315's?

I'm looking for something that will perform well for solo Acoustic Guitar and Vocals, while sometimes pushing them a little harder with a drum machine and electric guitar.

At the moment I have a Yamaha powered mixer, but will eventually match them up with an Allen and Heath non-powered mixer.

The cheapest price in Australia seems to around the $550ea mark, which is super cheap imo and compares well to the US price (which is unusual).

For a comparison the Mackie Thump TH-15a (rated at 400w) is around this price and was going to be my first choice in this price range, but I have since heard/seen quite a few negative reviews.

Cheers

Yeah, I have used the JBL EON series quite a bit, but more often in a stage monitor situation. I have not used that particular model as a main before. I think they would do quite well for what you are looking to do with them. I'm guessing these would be used for smaller bar gig type shows? Regardless, I'd vote JBL over Mackie any day.

+1 also to Allen&Heath. A lot of venues I worked in had the GL series mixer and I enjoyed working with them. Easy to use, sounded good and priced right.

Cheers bud.

Yeah usually small bar and restaurant gigs.

I'd prefer the EV Live series (ELX112p) or the QSC K10's or 12's, but they are up over the 1k each mark.

I know for a fact the EV's sound great, but I am on a super tight budget.

I guess I could get 1 EV for now and add another at a later stage, but I was thinking if the JBL's perform well I can get it all sorted now in one hit.

Yeah I am a bit of an Allen and Heath fan after hearing a couple of different models paired with both EV and Turbosound speakers.

The QSC K10's are very nice... but yes, more costly. Were you looking at a 1 or 2 speaker setup with the EON's?

Any pro audio type rental services in your area? Could rent a couple different model speakers for successive shows and see which you like better.

Yeah 2 x FOH and 1 foldback would be the setup.

I have a Yamaha powered 10" for my monitor which works pretty well.

I have 2x Yamaha passive 12e's for my FOH at the moment, but they just don't cut it.

I could get away with using one of them for my monitor, and having the powered Yamaha + say 1 of either the EV's or QSC's as FOH in the interim.

Probably not ideal, but workable.

No hire shops in close vicinity, but about an hour away. I have an acquaintance who runs an engineer/sound business, so I could try and see if he has some different speakers to try.

He usually runs pretty high end equipment though. (Mostly Turbosound)

Yeah, mismatched FOH speakers just sounds like a sin to me But surely workable. Highly unlikely ANYBODY would ever notice or think twice about it. 98% of the time I have any quip about something audio, I'm usually the only one who notices.

tangent/ Went and saw a movie last weekend and the theatre calibration was totally ****ed. The right channel was almost non existent, which I noticed mostly when music was playing. Being that dialogue is mostly mixed into the center channel, it wasn't affected too much. The LFE channel was WAY hyped. After about 5 minutes I finally had to ask if I was the only one bothered by this..... and yes, per usual, I was. Everyone else I was with hadn't noticed. /tangent

I've never used Turbosound equipment. Was checking out their site and definitely looks like nice stuff. Obviously I can only go so far without actually hearing them but looks pretty good in writing and pictures.

I guess it's the same as true audiophiles that will not listen to music unless it is through a 3 trillion dollar system that meets their exact specifications - real world most people are listening to degraded signals through 2 dollar earphones!

I wish I had your ear for the sound.

That's what I like so much about engineers, and something I wish to develop in myself.

I didn't know much about Turbosound until I met this guy, except I knew they were expensive.

This guy tours with some fairly big bands here in Australia and his primary speaker collection consists of Turbosound and ElectroVoice (as monitors).

Those EONS are only rated at 280w - 220w for low and 60w for high.

Do you think that would do the job for most small bars and restaurants? (the biggest against from the reviews I have read has been their lack of power - everything else gets a thumbs up)

I'm guessing these venues are probably in the neighborhood of 150-200 max capacity? If that's the case, with a pair for FOH, I think those should do the job just fine. Some friends of mine run a bar trivia company using a single, small 150W-200W speaker (a crap brand too), and that works fine for them. Granted, it's different program material than music performance, but either way, a combined total of around 500W in a small venue should be adequate.
