I hope you guys don't take my comments the wrong way. I love my M700 and in playing all sorts of gigs I don't always play really loud but I do play in a jam/blues band where I often cover a decent size room without PA support. I'm only sharing my experience and am upgrading to the M2500 so there is absolutely no gig that I have to leave Mo home.

Just wrapped up a gig playing upright with no amp, wish I had that more often.

Peter,
It's all good. Ultimately, you have to go with the setup that works for you. I own a Walter Woods Electrocoustic Ultra that puts out 1,200 watts for that very reason. The only difference is it only weighs 7 1/2 pounds. ;<)

Not a slam against anyone, but my philosophy regarding the concept of "really expensive" is: should I spend x dollars on something that most of the time gives me pretty much what I need, or 2x dollars on something that ALWAYS gives me everything I need and more?

Provided that "2x dollars" is within one's financial means (which for me, luckily, it is) this is a no-brainer. YMMV.

I absolutely agree.

THere are a few issues that I'd need to figure out first. I have a rackmount pre, so the form factor of the M2500 isn't the best for what I've got already. I asked Jule about putting the M2500 into the rack a while back but it's just not feasible without a lot of tweaking.

The M700's design it unique because it provides propper ventilation and cooling for the internal components. I can attest to this being a factor in the longevity of both my Walter Woods amps, because they sport an all aluminum chassis that effectively cools the internal circuitry, both of those amps have 20 years of continous use. (knock on wood)

I should have taken a picture.... I do use Monique when a backline is provided and run into the poweramp in or the input if things aren't working for me. Last night I had some pretty great results, you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the Peavey Mark IV sitting on top of an Ampeg 810. I had to google a photo of the amp as the amp was so old the labels on the row of 1/4" jacks was worn out. I think we used one of these in HS jazz band but I'm not sure I've come across one in the past 25 years.

In any case it sounded great.

Just curious, what cabinets will you use with the M2500? 810x's
Click to expand...

A pair of ampeg 210AVs, flatback 8x10, Mesa ph212. I've had some other cabinets in and out lately so I may look for something else too. But the ampeg cabinets never got to the volume I wanted with the Monique settings I prefer so the M2500 is perfect.

I know it sounds like overkill but it really isn't. And I'm not a loud player.

Likely it's not, each of my amps exceed the cabinets they sit on top of. The M700 and a single TC-112 are a great match with the Grace Felix.

Hi,

Here's sort of a non-Monique-specific question. Although, Monique is such a unique piece of equipment, it might be specific. Anyway, I figured the good people in this thread should be able to help me.

I'm currently researching in-ear monitoring. I will be going wired, with the possibility to mix my own signal with a bass-less mix from the monitor-mixer. For this, I would need to send my DI-output to both my personal device and to the board. Will I need a dedicated box to split the DI-signal? Or would a simple Y-split cable suffice, since Monique has an active DI (I assume)?

Thanks!

There are a number of ways to do this, I think the best way is to get your bass signal from the board as it's own direct out or aux send.

But if you want to take it right from the stage and you aren't using the line out to feed an amp you can send the DI to the house and the line out to your device.

Thanks for thinking with me!
However, I'm not sure I can get two channels from the table. That's why I'd rather get my own from the amp.
I should have told I have a Monique 700; can I use the line out and still use it as an integrated amp? Or will plugging something in the line out cut the connection between the preamp and the poweramp? I could try that myself, but maybe someone knows that already.

Sorry for being such a noob about this...

I'd only be guessing. Sorry

I have a Monique 700 as well so maybe I can help.
The connection between the integrated MO pre and the M700 amp is only interupted when you plug into the "Amp In" jack.
You should be able to use the "Amp Out" jack with no loss of functionality of the amp as a whole.
