I need 4 of these on stage together. Should I buy different freq bands (A,B,G,etc) or is it ok to have all A band mics on stage at same time?

It is fine to have them all in the same frequency band. I have 4 running in the same band with no issues.

We have four of these mics all the same band, of course each is set at a different frequency. We have no problem, in fact we are adding two more.

Buy all A freqs as there are plenty of addresses within the band. Only thing I might recommend is going up to the 865 cartridge

What you are suggesting will most likely create feedback and/or damage the unit (any brand). If you are using it as a monitor try to get your input feed from the PA. If you can't get an isolated monitor mix from the PA then plug your mic into the B205D and use it to reinforce you own stage mix. Run the output to the PA but...Don't loop back!

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

Yes. I was in a 50-person open-mic club jam with drums, 4 electric guitars, sax, flute, and 6 of us sang thru the PA system. The guitars' amps are small all-in-one's--no stacks. The SA 2x10 cab was plenty loud and clear, through my TC Electronic 450W amp. Note that my bass guitar has passive pickups; not sure if that makes a difference in volume or not. When we had 14 other people on stage, that was about at the amp's (or the speaker's?) limit; I briefly considered getting the 15" Seismic Audio speaker to add more volume. And I would if we continually had a large ensemble (we usually don't). Yes. I was in a 50-person open-mic club jam with drums, 4 electric guitars, sax, flute, and 6 of us sang thru the PA system.

You can only record to two tracks at a time, either using two microphones or plugging directly into the machine. This unit has two built in condenser microphones which are actually pretty sweet, or you could plug in your own microphones and mic your practice space the best way to capture the entire band. This would allow you to get a live two-track stereo recording of your band which you could then mix to the right and left for the true stereo sound. It would just be a matter of trial and error as far as microphone placement is concerned to get the best sound. Good luck!

Hey, yes it is possible, you can plug up to 4 mics or guitars! Would you be interested in buying mine? I only used it once and then I upgraded to a focusrite. Im selling for 200$ and it works perfect comes in original box and everything! Let me know!

Yes, for the ADAT alone, but only if you dream of picking up the 8-channel mic preamp. If you're questioning about the extra 2 inputs, then I doubt you'll need to spend the extra. For me, the more inputs, the better. Not everyone has the need to mic a drum set or more than two acoustic instruments at once like I do. For me, this is just the beginning, I'm gonna keep looking for a good used 8-channel preamp. The reason I got this is because my old, reliable MOTU 896HD with 8 mic/inst inputs up and died on me.

Hey Shannon! You can use any mic you like with this unit. Peavey makes a mic / stand / clip / cable bundle that we offer for $49. It's a tremendous value! Give us a call and we can arrange a special price for you. 330-546-7076 Thanks!

1x12 is not the best option for live gigging in any size room. It just doesnt push enough air. Now if you're going to mic it into a PA then you're ok, you'll just have a hard time hearing yourself on stage.

I have a Tascam with 2 XLR ins. When I run 2 mics I just plug them both in. If I am only using one mic, then I use this to ensure I don't get a channel of hiss. So this appears to be the opposite of what you want. This is a single in for a double out.

You probably can do what you are asking as long as the two units are receiving the same frequency. The one I bought has a number (sticker) on the PA unit itself and a matching number on the hand held mic. This indicates to me that there are several different frequencies with these units. You would need to request matching units.

I concur with Travis F. You can synch different microphones to the base (see manual) but only one at a time.
929577
You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

Hi. Yes you can. To help you. Please try these sites with videos. WWW.YouTube.com/watch ?v=sjojhmewyoc. Or WWW.YouTube.com/watch?v=Irwbikfiumu. Just a reminder you can only use one band at a time
110832
You can only record two tracks at a time, so a whole band will not be possible unless you record each member at a time. Check the DP-24 and DP-32 for 8 inputs, meaning you can record 8 tracks at a time.
1433763
Yes. Presently I use input #1 for guitar (mono track), input #2 for mic (mono track) and inputs #3 and #4 together as left and right of the same stereo track. SoI can mess with all tracks sdesperately even if I record all at the same time. For 4 separate tracks at the same time all 4 inputs have to go to separate momo tracks.

I did a Google search for "h7 k7 m7 shure" and turned up a Yahoo article that referenced this on the Shure site: http://shure.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3392 ... when I purchased mine, I was thinking that I shouldn't get multiple sets in the same bands, but seeing that article, I'm glad my city isn't listed. There is also a frequency finder link on that page as well.
