Def RF venue to combine all your in ears

There's a company that makes a 2-prong to a flat for wall warts to save power strip space, or also I've got 2 6" 3-prong extension cords.

I did the same thing with my Behringer mixer, flipped it around so the cables don't hang out, and like you stated better routing. Love these types of videos! Scott Uhl did a video on combining 2 units for one antenna. But I remember him saying you have to get a different cable for the units you have. I have 2 sennheiser IEM's and 2 sennheiser wireless mic/guitar so I combined them each. so I only have 3 total antennas instead of 6. Also same thing we did with my drummer, he's on wireless instead of always having to setup a wired feed. Makes things easier. And I also added a 3u rack drawer for wireless packs, and we use an APACHE 5800 for our cables.

Ah nice dude! I wonder how that works for different brands using different frequency ranges. I picked different bands for each device to hopefully have stronger signals for each device lol

If you need one more stereo aux mix on the XR16, you can use the headphone out on the mixer. Internally you can route aux 5-6 to that output to make it its own dedicated stereo mix.

With power conditioners I always use a model with IEC C13 outputs. That way I can cram a load of sockets in with no problems. Anything that has a wall wart I just tape an extension to the side wall inside the rack and plug them in there.

Brandon, for vocal fx, I love the TC Helicon VoiceLive Play GTX

When it comes to antenna combiners, look into RF Venue combine 4. You can mix brands of IEM’s, and combine ranges of 470 mhz all the way up to like 950 mhz I believe. I used that for a long time before my band switched to all Sennheiser, but RF Venue makes amazing stuff

Great video. One suggestion - The wireless kit. If you change the cheaper units for the same IEM system that you are using, you could use the Shure antenna combiner. Have you thought about running wired IEM unit to the drums? In terms of mixer, you could upgrade to the XR18 as you mentioned. If you still need more i/o you may need to look at the larger X32 rack, where you could add a stagebox if you need more than 16 inputs. Allen&heath have some great options. The QU-Pac, or QU-SB, older units, but they give you more i/o options. Hope this helps

we used to have the drums wired with its own personal mixer, it was just annoying to have to pack more XLR cables and a mixer and for that when it was just easier to get another IEM set for it. I mean, literally all that gear is on my wish list already....it's just all expensive af and I can't justify the cost yet lol. I've already sunk a lot into this right now, and it's operating fine with what I have. especially difficult when it's only me making these investments because it's my solo project. the band are people that I hire out

This was so informative, thank you for sharing! I already have a wireless sennheiser mic and receiver, and looking to eventually do wireless guitar and wireless in-ears all in the same rack. Do you think they would definitely need an antenna combiner? What’s your experience been with that? Thanks again! 🙌

@BrandonWells 5 ай бұрын

thanks for watching, glad I could help! I think because they're different kinds of units, they wouldn't run on the same antenna system. I could be very wrong tho. the mic/guitar is transmitting, and the in-ears are receiving (or vice versa depending on which end you're looking at first)

Great video! Question - I've been considering the Behringer MS8000 as a splitter though I've seen reviews that say it can be kind of a noisy unit. What's your experience been like?

@BrandonWells 2 ай бұрын

I did read that somewhere before I got mine a few years ago, but I can't remember the use case for why the noise would happen? I haven't really noticed anything. especially in the mix - if there is anything there, I can't hear it
