Title: 2box mixer in live
Post by: fontanna on December 06, 2012, 04:22:14 AM
Hi

In that entry into the mixer connected 2box playing Live ? Do: 2box jack out --- jack in Dibox xlr out --- xlr mixer in, is the right configuration? Because it sounds very bad at concerts, and operators as a link?

I'm using the standard six channel out jacks, with a multicable.
- snare
- bassdrum
- hihat
- toms
- crashes
- ride

The multicable goes into a patchblock and runs to the mixer from the soundengineer. It then sounds better or at least as good as a (high end) miked kit. It all depends on the speakers/amplifyer/mixer etc also. Using a good sub is also recommended.

he means a good SUBwoofer....  a loudspeaker for subbass frequencies , that give the kick drum a good bassy sound ....

another thing is having the deep bass going through a sub means that your other amps and speakers don't have to use their energy trying to drive the bass frequencies (which require more power to create), and they can concentrate on pushing out your mid/high frequency sounds more clearly.
