AMPLESS GUITAR RIG DRIVERS
I typically high-pass the monitor to limit its lows as much as I can stand, which means less conflict with the house system.Ī big plus in my book of using a good stage monitor instead of a bass cabinet is that the former use quality compression drivers for the highs, not those cheap, nasty-sounding piezos. Sure, they dont get the bottom end very well, but as Medford noted, if youre playing behind a system with subs you should be able to get all you need from the them. Otherwise it may well end in a trainwreck if the audience is loud.Ĭlick to expand.Im sure everyone would have their own preference, but in the past Ive used Yamaha SM-series monitors, JBL MR-series and even some old Bose speakers (the ones with eight little 5-1/4 speakers). The thing to remember is that it's not only You and the audience who has to hear the bass, the whole band has to hear you. Jimmy is on the point though, the monitors have to be top notch. He said that he'd never heard a better bass sound there, and never had so good balance in FOH there before. After the sound check he was a bit more optimistic, but the gig itself, that made a believer out of him. I was the regular monitor sound guy there and when I suggested going ampless for the visiting pro FOH guy who only knew me casually, he almost had a fit. An old concerete walled auditorium isn't the best place for bass amps. I have done that in a problematig large place also. Our PA isn't anything fancy for the small gigs either, just old Bose 802's (IIRC) and old Peavey bottoms.
I'll be running SVTDI directly to the console.
