    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    Again - these are trimmers with digital amp (for going over 0db)., so thats why in almost all of them you don't see volume control from the front. Operating from minus something to +6 or +12dB. 0dB (default setup) is classic and best approach as you change sensitivity on the transmitter and...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    Yeah, I think they would go digital someday, no doubt about that. But still, analog is more reliable at the moment and we don't hear about ground breaking digital technology that will wipe out analog unit in a year or two. We just got fully analog Sennheiser G4s (which are same sound quality as...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    First of all - all the industry-standard "high end" units are analog. They all don't have any classic type volume controls on receiver - Sennheiser G2/G3/G4, Shure SLX/PGX. Shure QLX has digitally controlled volume. So, which ones are you reffering to? - Second, there are no highend/backline...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    I'd disagree. Seeing the block schematic of the unit and also remembering other wireless instrument systems (where almost all does not have volume control on the receiver!) - it looks like it's just a vol. trim pot for whatever "consumer" reason that should maxed out for "thru" signal. I'm not...

    I think even better is maxing the receiver (or solder the pot fixed wayto "remove"it from the circuit) adn just adjust gain on the transmitter

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    Just got the WMS40. Tested in the studio through Motu interface and then through '68 B15-N to check if there are any issues with impedances between interface inputs and 1MEG ampeg inputs. Pros: - great sound, no bass loss - sounds like a very short cable - no high end loss too. - a hair beetter...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    Thanks... I just googled Shure GLXD, and then went to search other digital (like Boss) it seems they all are good for rehearsals etc (not to mention the price!). But wifi and other interferrence could easyli kill your show. it's not one random glitch like it happened just few times with my...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    It's hard to "use your ears" when you considering what to buy online ;) And yes, its what I said 40-20000 is not flat, probably (but we haven't got a chart) BUT... I googled my old trusty Shure PGX wich I bought over 20 years ago, and it says 45-15000. It sounds perfect, same as cable (adds...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    It's almost 5 times (!) more expensive than AKG WSM40. I have never had any experience with digital transmitters/receivers. Any latency? Sound quality? Because it has AD/DA converters...

    Wireless for bass - which one? AKG WMS40?

    For the last 20 years I used Shure PGX which was serving me well with solid sound, but recently got a lot of dropouts due to... I play in forbidden 5G/LTE range. No one does change frequency on these units, so it's goiing to trash. I wanted to buy another one, almost bought AKG WMS40 because its...

    SVT3 non-pro bias adjustment

    Does anyone know to what exact value they should be biased? (And where are the bias points, btw)? The 3PRO is 24mV across the mosfet resistors, but since 3pro is different construction, less power etc. it may be different. I can't find any info over the web. Thanks in advance!

    Ampeg SVT Classic Tube Questions

    CL is not "cheap knock-off" - it's just different design and more polished sound than the raw old SVT. It stood the test of time and is no.1 backline bass amp all over the world for 30 years. That means something. I still have one. I have few old SVTs, but played last show with CL and was really...

    Ampeg SVT Classic Tube Questions

    Guy said that bought SVT-Classic. You're writing about old SVT. Not much in common other than "300W tube power". Anyway, I find Sovteks best current prod. sounding tubes for SVT-CL. Had JJs, had tung-sols, had EH. They are all ok, but Sovtek had something that just sit right. more ooomph and...

    Ampeg V-4B Master Volume/4 Cable Method Question

    So, you bought am Ampeg V4B, which is known for very colorful, thick "that ampeg" sound and want to use only its power section? I have never used any FX loops, all my delays go straight to the amp inputs, it always sound great. I never heard any "improvement" placing them into FX loop. I'd just...

    Ampeg SVT-CL vs SVT-VR 50th sounding the same (and other inquiry...)?

    V4B (the old one) is so good sounding in almost all even extreme positions. It's just JUICE. I tried even different preamp tubes for orange - going for 12A*7 equivalents trying to get rid of that clunky riging top end.
