I agree

Thanks for the comment.👍

No idea

The vid was a couple of years ago. I think they were hosa brand off amazon, but I cannot find them now sadly.

No hum or noise in regular use for a couple of years - its s great splitter.

It has a single input, so you would need to “sum” the stereo source to one mono input first. The stereo output is very “lush”!

They were the same tracks on the same file at the same level. The drums were differently recorded, and obviously were levelled at a mix level by ear. The intention was not for it to be a “scientific” test - more a “flavour”and sound comparison. Thanks as always for your comment though.

Depends on the rack case. The “gator” style ABS have screws that have a threaded hole. Some racks (often the heavier wooden and metal ones) have a square hole on the rack where a nut springed holder is placed and the screw goes into that. The benefit of the second approach is that if something gets cross threaded, it can be replaced. In the non nut version - if cross threaded that hole is now unusable. The drawback of the nut (second) approach is that they can be VERY fiddly to place! Hope that helps!

Not 100% sure what you are after. The 1073OPX has selectable headroom of +18/24/26 (I have it on the 18), but the Avio has no sensitivity as it purely provides a transition from the analog out on any device output into the dante network, where it can be routed to one or more locations, or if the avio is an output adapter, then into some output such as a monitor controller, amp, hardware input etc The converson on the audinate products is excellent. All products with dante will have audinate chips. So any input /output levels or sensitivity is set on the sending/receiving device. Apologies if this is information you already know, and obvious. The workflow of Dante has transformed how I work, so I would strongly recommend. Thanks

Great comment and summary

I tend to agree - I think its the low end. Thanks for the comment.

I take your point. Cheaper than others maybe… thanks for commenting!

Difficult to say without looking in person. Make sure the input gain on the mixer is at a good level, set to 0db (although some people will set at -6), and then have a good signal that is green on the meter and only occasionally peaks into yellow. I assume your in ears are fed through a bus, so just make sure the levels to the buss are good. Are you using cables to a headphone amp, or to a wireless box. The headphone side needs to be active to amplify the line level signal (I know its obvious but just checking), some wireless in ears will also have a gain knob you can turn up. Use good cables. They dont need to be mega expensive - for live stuff I use visiosound or stagg, cheap but good quality. Hope this helps. Also splitter does have ground lift and link buttons - make sure these are off unless you want them on…

We have actually gone over to P-16 personal monitors now, but there was not an issue. I think there can be , and a combiner with a separate antenna is always best if you can afford it. I tried to space them i. The box as much as I could.

That's the conclusion that we have come to, that we need to go with a combiner and antenna - how are the P-16s?@@tmmmusicstudio

Superb. Just superb. Both bands i play with use them. I use them for theatre pit stuff i do, and I have a P-16i and two in the studio too. They are great

I use strong super strength velcro from amazon. There are probably more elegant and technological solutions… its not fallen off yet amzn.eu/d/dBFHnkL

Thank you

I agree - the singer, performance and in the case of instruments , the instrument and tuning are the key aspects, but many people are interested if there is significant difference if you spend more money on expensive gear, and if there is a perceived difference, how big it is. Often you can tell a slight difference, but ultimately such a lot of the difference is ones own taste and opinion. I hope this helps with the reasoning behind the video. I think many people ARE interested in comparisons of equipment from the same source. Thanks

Hi, not sure what you mean by illuminator. The macbook in this vid was a 2014 macbook air 4Gb - old and slow - but it was fine, but currently running it on M1 Macbook Pro 16Gb.

I can't read comments. Thank you for your answer. I got the information about the lighting. I think the machine I'm talking about is using Artnet. The Artnet you are telling me is out of stock and out of production. There are various products in Aliexpress too, so can I use those?

@magicianbenson possibly yes. I have been looking at getting a spare and there are some on ebay. Not sure which country you are in, but here in the UK we have legislation around items being bought on the internet being “fit for purpose” so if it does not work you can return by law. Maybe check you have a returns policy for the item… You may have to change the computer network settings too - fairly sure that was in the video - but another unit may be different…

Yes - ArtNet is a protocol and you can get different brands. They will all work well.

Are you not keen on the sound, operation? Personally I love the sound and the connectivity

@@tmmmusicstudio i didn't like the sound, very 2 dimensional and not what i want out of a 1073. I'm using 1073lb, heritage and BAE now.

Ok, fair viewpoint. I love the sound, and I record a lot of drums, so having 8 channels in one unit is a bonus

Do you mean is the brand link?

@@tmmmusicstudio Yes, case link please

www.studiospares.com/abs-shallow-rack-flight-case-by-trojan-pro-2u-4u-6u.htm Ive just looked and no markings. Its a good few years old but I think it was trojan. Thomann also have done similar ones.

The main thing I wanted to illustrate was the difference of using a cheap in ear set compared to the actual output, to see what the difference was. Musicians who cannot afford expensive in ears kit, will probably employ a wired solution from a headphone or via an output though a headphone amplifier, and the idea was to show the difference that you would actually get employing these units. Your point is a fair point to make though. Thanks

@@tmmmusicstudio I would really have like to hear The comparison stereo to stereo or mono to mono. But I appreciate your effort 👍

My issue is that I want to know What The difference in Sound quality is between a cheat set and an expensive set. Most reviews are about features and distance - not Sound quality 😲

Yep I have looked at that - just a cost issue as it is a few hundred pounds, which I have not got at present! It is a great solution though. The splitter also protects the x32 sockets from damage as well…

The link connection goes to the rack mixer so that 48v phantom (for DI box and drum overhead condenser mic) can be controlled from mixer, and the transformer side split goes to the cable for passing to a FoH PA, or we would also use it for our backup mixer… Thanks

@@tmmmusicstudio thank you - in reading the MS8000 manual, I found that part confusing. What about the warning here: "WARNING! Be careful when using phantom power on linked channels. If two linked channels both have phantom power sources connected to their respective LINK OUT XLR jacks, phantom-powered mics or DI boxes may receive too much current." I don't think we will be using the link function in a traditional in ear mixer setup as we need 1:1 inputs/outputs for all the different instruments. Any information you can provide would be of great help! THNX!

@DavidMacVicar did not see that but seems reasonable if linked, however I am not sure of a practical use of the channel linking. I’ll dig out the manual and take a look - thanks

The only double size module I currently use is a bettermaker compressor. Works fine, no noise. I highly rate midas gear, and I think there is a definite problem with “behringer bashing” in the music world, and now Behringer own Midas, they are subject to that. With any company which uses large manufacturing plants, there will be the odd unit with a quality control problem, but generally Midas gear (and behringer - as I use X32 X18 and P-16s for my live work) is just excellent. Im waiting for a AMS Neve RMX16 reverb, to be delivered, so I will do a vid on that when it arrives.

Maybe you should let AMS Neve know, as their description clearly describes it as such: www.ams-neve.com/outboard/1073-range/1073opx/ Admittedly its not a vintage 1073, but I would dispute whether it deserves the 1073 title. Its probably open for debate, open for opinions, and differing opinions create good dialog, however, in my opinion it sounds great and is a very flexible unit. Thanks for your comment none the less, your opinion is as valid as mine 👍

Here is a excellent review of the 1073 OPX and it particularly discusses the lack of OP transformers. ua-cam.com/video/PFFt-qFN3Sw/v-deo.html

Most (or many) splitters work by having a true wired link and a second transformer link. As long as your mixer or source of phantom power is on the true link, then it passes. So when we play in a venue with a managed PA we give the PA the transformer split, and control the phantom power ourselves. Hope this helps.

Essentially, yes you can as long as they are single devices, but not from one channel “out” to an “in” of the same multi-channel device. Hope that makes sense… I am using a lot of 500 series where you can link (in most units) between channels to create a chain, and then send into DAW. I am about to do a vid of the use of Dante for outboard, from DAW… watch this space. The routing is the main reason I have used Dante.

@@tmmmusicstudio Thank you.

👍

Im planning some more vids. A few more can be seen here: Instagram : @runaway_train_band instagram.com/runaway_train_band?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

www.studiospares.com/racks-and-cases/cases/cases-rack/abs-wheeled-rack-flight-case-by-trojan-pro-6u-2u-8u-2u.htm Gator also make a similar version.

@@tmmmusicstudio Thank you for the link! I were looking for this link in the description :) + and also that that is u6. I last try was to read all the comments ) and finally ) I found ) Thank you a lot. I just bought one.

Ill take a look at them, thanks 👍

@@tmmmusicstudio however i think that they can only fit like those thinner balanced cables. Like example the Canare L2B2AT or something similar. Just a thinner balanced cable

Ill look them up

Its a 6 U case but one of the Units is slightly restricted by the concealed wheels housing and a concealed housing. So that restricted unit is used for cable passes etc

No worries, the splitter is so that a duplicate of the signals can be fed to a front of house desk if playing a larger gig with engineered PA. This allows the band to retain control of in ear mix. Apologies if not clear from vid. A valid question though.

Thanks for the comment. I like the Midas, and im planning to try it on some drums, guitar and bass…

Indeed it does. Very good point. I don’t think this was available at the time I built the rack, but it is something I have looked at, thanks. I also use my split now for a backup mixer - connected with xlr to db25 at the splitter, and then a db25 to mixer pre connected, so I just have to plug in. I also have a separate db25 to xlr for connecting to a managed PA if needed. If the DN4816 is used, if the mixer failed, it would not work…. I always like a backup plan!

But the costs is 4x over the splitter

Can you explain how this makes a splitter unnecessary? I don't understand. Thanks!

@@DavidMacVicar Midas DN4816-O: this takes the ethernet cable out from the Midas and converts it to 16 channels of XLR in a separate rack box.

the Behringer can do that through Ultralink too.

Unfortunately not. Its a fairly cheap unit that provides surge protection only, and the rack ears are fixed. You might be able to mount it on the inside of a very thin rack shelf, as it is only 7 or 8 cm wide. I have it facing outwards as I plug the Artnet light interface and laptop into it at the gig.

@@tmmmusicstudio Thanks a lot for the info!

Just had a look on ebay. Mine is a metal frame which goes along the whole strip, but there are some that look like there are rack ears that could be reversed. Mine is poss 7 years old, so probably not available now
