Fool Proof Drummer Monitors (Rolls PM55P Personal Monitor Amp/Limiter)
At some point, your drummer will loose his battery operated monitor signal. I have decided to take my drummer off batteries forever. The Rolls PM55P is the best product I've found for the sheer amount of features and money. The PM55P features an XLR mic in, a pass-through, and monitor and headphone inputs. You also have the optional limiter to get your signal sitting right where you want it. Most importantly... the PM55P features an included power supply ensuring that your drummer will never loose the click or signal again. Of course, this unit is a favorite of drummers, vocalists, and keyboardists, but it’s also a great line tester in diagnosing audio system problems. You'll only make the mistake of falling apart live once to make the change... trust me...

    Hey guys. Okay I’m looking for a keyboard that’s for home, good pads and piano but also serves as an instrument for my son’s lessons. My son also loves messing with synths and being creative, recording etc…I was looking at the dgx670 or ck88 or something like that with built in speakers but then saw this. I know they make a weighted modx but any thoughts on weighted or not? I also realize it’s all preference but I do like the footprint of a 61 or 73. Thanks

    I agree with a lot of your conclusions when you consider vinyl playback on an entry level system. If you were to go to the next level with your TT, cartridge and phono amp, vinyl starts to pull away from CDs. The farther you move up, the greater the benefit you hear in vinyl playback. Digital also improves markedly as you move up the ladder, but you need a very expensive DAC to match even moderately good vinyl playback. But yes, it’s inconvenient.

    It’s a shame TC Helicon is pretty much done. They had some great stuff that always seemed one update away from being perfect. The pitch correction, for example, is pretty good most of the time but then glitches on some intervals and mic plosives. And I wish the doubling effect on my Duplicator could be made “tighter” so it was less obvious and gimmicky. I like that Slap echo on your Mic Mechanic.

    I totally disagree with you about CD’s sounding better because to my ears nothing sounds as good as vinyl. I know on some of the really cheap turntables you can’t tell the difference but if you have an average turntable and quality speakers there is nothing that sounds as good as vinyl. I purchased a set of JBL speakers and my Denon DR395 tuner used for $650.00 and a AudioTechnica LP120 for about $240.00 upgraded the needle. I get a beautiful sound that I like out of this system. I play the CD’s Through the same system with a Autel CD player. A different sound from each and I prefer vinyl. If you can’t hear the difference I understand because my wife can’t hear the difference either. She also has hearing issues.

    I am 68 years old and I started playing vinyl at ten years old so I been doing it for a long time. I like playing it for the pure enjoyment of the my music the way I like to listen to music. I have vintage JBL speakers and a Denon DR 395 tuner with a audiotechnia turn table. Just an old cheap system that plays music nothing special. But it plays music the way I like to hear it. I am not a collector of vinyl, I am a player of vinyl. I am not looking for the perfect fancy system. Vinyl is my preferred way to listen to music however I have a few CD’s I play through the same tuner and speakers which sound great also. If I decide a record I want is to high of a price I by a cd. I also have around two thousand ITunes purchased and I stream on Spotify. Most days I play some vinyl or cd’s , when I am busy and running around I stream. It’s all good. Cheers

    Neither format has a set dynamic range. It's all in the recording. Dynamic range is the difference (in dbs) the softest and loudest passage on the disc or vinyl. Some vinyl can have a much higher dynamic range than a lot of cds do. Some of the horrible cd releases have a dynamic range of 6 dbs. It's all in the production. Both formats are capable of GREAT sound, it's up to the label and the recording quality.
