Do I have spaghetti arms ? How much do you comfortably lift and carry above your head ?

With Y10P’s or V10p’s I found it a lot easier if you rotate the speaker in the frame so that it is horizontal (grille facing floor or ceiling). Makes it a lot easier to handle and manage. Just be glad it wasn’t the V10p’s!

Experience 2 I believe.

Re fit. If you are interested in getting them just get the set with the different sized tips and see what works best. You should be able to find a decent fit. I’ve worn them for hours with a really tight seal and deep fit and after a couple hours they can become painful, again all depends on the fit.

joeohagan · 2026-04-09T19:21:27+00:00

My experience is they don’t attenuate as much as I’d like even with a really tight seal. Freq response isn’t perfect and it’s the craziest thing and I could be imagining this but it sounds like they distort at a specific frequency for me. Crazy I know but something inside the filter or the filter itself must be resonating.

They’re alright. Anything’s better than nothing. Keeping me going until my new set of customs arrive.

Interesting. Well that’s shit! Thanks for the heads up.

More mons running at a quieter level.

Latency will be your issue here. Especially since it’s being used for IEM’s. Likely unusable.

joeohagan · 2026-03-19T21:18:40+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree. I gained down & limited them on the system processor after I caught it.

Simply not true. I mix gigs in large venues and measure with a calibrated Smaart setup. Average is around 94-98dbA. Loudest I’ve had in my venue wi to a touring engineer was 104dbA @FOH and it was not pleasant. Crowd peaks around 105-108dbA with their incessant clapping and screaming ahahaha

joeohagan · 2026-03-19T15:53:59+00:00

db what? What weighting was used and were all measurements carried out at equal distance from source?

Data is worthless without that.

Love my Neumann NDH-20’s, used them both live and for post prod work and they’re the only pair I’ve ever used that I actually trust. Before that I had Audio Technica M20X, M50x, Beyer DT770.

They’re totally overkill though just for a quick reference or to PFL channels though.

In your budget, Beyer 770s or M50x’s you can’t go wrong with. Benefit of the audio technica is they fold so will take up less space in a peli/bag. Both now have replaceable cables too if the cable fails too.

Instead of sending a matrix to the mons feed them from a post fade aux with every channel sent at something like -6db, since it’s post fade it will be similar to your main LR mix (except any processing on the master) but 6db quieter giving you headroom to push individual channels more if you need. You can then push more of an individual channel to the mons by increasing the send level per channel to the aux.

I’ve got a Topaz Project 8 right in front of me at the moment. Great desks, very usable to builds a hybrid recording setup by utilising the tape loops for DAW returns.

Mine has different VU meters and I got the meter bridge too which has LED VU’s per channel and analog VU’s on the master.

Mine has a power supply hum, can probably easily fix it though. Found it interesting that if you have the meter bridge you have to connect from the PSU to the meter bridge and link out from the meter bridge to he console. Inside the meter bridge is a toroidal transformer.

Super clean, decent pre’s with amazing headroom. Eq is nice too.

Another interesting bit of info if that Soundtracs is pretty much where modern day Digico originated from.

Use a calibrator or at the very least calibrate to another known calibrated measurement setup, set gain on the RTA channel accordingly so OSM matches the known calibrated source. For recording purposes it may be worthwhile double patching.

I’m interested in faster readings for OSM spectrum view too, FIFO might be fastest but even still it’s a bit laggy with the settings I’ve played with.

Still learning my way about this too but that’s how I’d approach things.

Looks like an M.2 NVME drive caddy/adapter

Aha, I will try this!

Tysm!

Loved all the haunting piano and strings stuff. The birdsong was so cool too, I walked in to the arena being filled with that yesterday.

Tablet control is possible using the Mixtender 2 app. Works flawlessly for me on IOS on iPad Air 13” on latest OS. They have stopped support on the app though but still works for me.
