Hi ST, 

I've sold my L1 M2 and will be buying a T4s going to 2 S1 Pros.  I'm assuming set up will be pretty much the same as the article except that I'll just run a second TRS cable from the Left output of the T4s to my second S1 Pro and will balance the output from each channel as needed between R/L.  Correct?

Thanks,

Dan

Yes, correct. I have added this picture to the article.

Thanks for confirming ST.   

I'll be trying this set up in a few weeks when I get back from some travel.  I'll post a report of how it sounds in a "normal" gig setting.

I'm betting it sounds great!

Question: I am using the S1 Pro in monitor position as my only sound source for solo acoustic gigs.  I am having a hard time getting my vocal to the front of the mix without causing feedback through the mic.  I have my T4S connected to channel 1 on S1 as the picture shows (S1 volume at 11 o’clock, T4s gain at around 12 o’clock and T4S channel volume at 12 o’clock.  With this I can adjust the main volume on the T4s to approx 10 o’clock.  After that I get feedback.  Is there a simple EQ or comp setting that I can try to bring the vocal out front without relying on volume?  I have found the increasing Zeq hi to 3db helps, results in feedback though.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am going crazy trying to “dial” in the settings.

Do a search on feedback.  I think ST posted a link to an article on fighting feedback a couple of days ago.

Thanks!  That's a lot of info for me to go through.  I appreciate it.

Hi Yodameater

Worth checking out what polar pattern you have on your mic especially if you are running two speakers to the sides of you.

With a single L1 behind you, you can use your body/head to great effect in cutting out direct radiation.

With two speakers to your sides clearly you can't so you have to rely on tech. A tight polar pattern concentrating on the small area facing you from the mic is preferable. If you have a wide collection pattern you will pick up your own sound from the speakers and amplify that - hence feedback.

Cheers
