I also like being in the room with the band, big difference from glass partitions and talkback mics on both sides.

Those guys really know what they're doing on the software end; their drivers are rock solid and have always been. Their hardware seems pretty well-built too.busbus wrote:I wouldn't feel bad about the Behringer AD.

You have officially made me want your life. Jealous!

Nice pics Ben. Please to add more.Looks like n-Eight did a great job racking those Yamaha PM-1000 channels for Scott. Scott, are you running all your inputs through that Fireface 400?

There are countless mods for them. I don't really like the capsules in them as they sound harsh, but I gutted mine. You'd possibly be better with a Studio Projects valve mic as the capsules are decent. There's a simple mod you can do to those too to smooth them out in the top-end.
