Members luckj Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've got a pair of excellent in ear monitors but no reciever or base unit. I've been putting this off cause I'm concerned about the isolation. Anyway, I've got to do it so recomend me a good system that doesn't break the bank. The plugs set me back so I can't go for broke on the system. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dravenzouk Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 used PSM 400 I think the PSM400s are going to effected by the frequency auction next year. Not a deal-buster in itself, but something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caseyjf Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 i'm thinking about selling my PSM200 reciever and transmitter. I changed up the configuration of my guitar so that its not playing at my ankles anymore. system works great, just don't know if I need it anymore. PM me if you're interested?

Members mddittman Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I use the Sennheiser G1 300 series... but the PSM 200 is great if you want to add an ambient mic to hear your bandmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jwlussow Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I use the PSM200 with ambient mic. The guitarist dumped the ambient because he got used to the isolation (or he wanted me to deal with the drunks)...either way I love the setup.

Members Weathered Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I posted this in your thread in the HCAF, but I've got a set of PSM200's in a 2 space road rack that ran me $500 out the door - I'm loving them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fishmanrod Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey, what are you guys using for an ambient mic, a clip on condensor or what? Oh, ya, PSM 200 all the way baybee, everyone in my band wears them. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Barisaxman2000 Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've used PSM200's for quite a while now in different configurations, but the band always shared an ambient mic run through a channel on the board, then mixed into the monitor send to taste for each band member. At first we used a boundary mic laying on the floor under the keyboards, which was overkill really. We settled on more or less using the drummers overheads for ambient noise, which worked remarkably well. A condensor off to the side of the stage will have the same effect. Or, as long as you aren't running tight gates on the vocal mics, which we were for a while, you'd be surprised how well vocal mics will open things up. We had 4 vocal mics on stage and after we quit gating them, they picked up plenty of ambient noise to reduce the effect of isolation due to the in-ears.

Members bassred Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 We have a 57 on a stand pointing in a general area over the drums, it's mixed in so that we get a nice 'live' drum sound, and we can typically talk onstage without issues.... I've thought about strapping a mic to the light truss so I can get more audience sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
