Music is the same way for me, the harder I work on something the more I love it.

I'm sketching out some ideas here at the office...  |

After listening to the V6's would you be happy using them playing bass?

and dmilt, I would definitely be happy with the V6's! The quads had more character in the bass area, but the V6's had more clarity overall and balanced more. I think they would've been my choice if I was doing more than just playing bass.

(I'd want to wrap together a standard 1/4 instrument cable with a headphone cable, and I'd like the resulting bundled cable to still be somewhat flexible.) |

Let me know what you end-up with as I want to do the exact same thing. |

On the downside, I just got an email from 1964 ears saying that my ear impressions are too short (don't go past the second bend in the ear) so I have to get them redone. The Audiologist is sick this week so it'll have to be the next. Darn it, I was hoping to have them for a slew of gigs in December.

I was told that the V6 is more of a reference IEM and that the Quads were more directed towards live performance. It probably depends what you intend to do with them but, respectfully speaking, I wonder about your decision to mix FOH with in ears.

However having good quality ears makes it a whole lot easier to reference things and allows me to mix all of my musicians ears easier.

What type of over volume protection do you have when using IEM ?
Does the sound man have a good handle on this or can he kill your ears ?
My ears have been ruined by loud fu%^&*+ bands.
Tinnitus in both ears, daily nightmare and have been wearing hearing aides for 5 years.
Thanks |

The biggest thing I've learned to do is zero out all my mixer controls before plugging in. Even with the limiter, if the guy before me was using non-custom IEMs the mixer's volume is usually set high enough that spikes below the limiter will be loud enough to hurt.
Luckily I'm getting good at being able to get a good mix at a low volume, then turn up the whole picture at the end. Works well for me.

You should have some kind of overall volume control for yourself so you can start low and then turn up once you get a good mix...either on a wireless pack that you're plugging your ears into or on the Aviom box. |
