    I've been running 12 channels of ULX-D for about 6 years. Absolutely incredible system, and we leverage the Dante features of the quad receivers with a 10G netgear AV switch that connects to a A&H SQ-6 and a recording rig. We've never had a problem with it. I used it with a Midas M32 last year (again with the Dante interface) and the experience was flawless. I'd LOVE to go the the Axient system one day -- but it doesn't make financial sense to make the jump from the ULX-D to the Axient. Thanks for the in-depth review. Keep 'em coming!

    Yes I love the 57beta I got to used it At a corporate gig when I was a guest singer with the Luke O'Neils band in the Royal Marine hotel venue ballroom and it was at the GPS convention, which Luke O'Neil was speaking at and subsequently his own band played in the evening..
    I really enjoyed that gig, was a lovely evening for me.. 57beta was really very punchy with a lot of high quality frequency sparkle detail on my top end.. I particularly liked it on Radioheads Creep which I sang lead on.. I'm currently saving up for a sennheizer e945 which I think might be even more detailed and has so I've heard a good gain level off the mic?
    Anyways thanks once again for a very informative and interesting video..
    Kind regards Vinn 😎 🎸 👍

    Sweeet! Very nice system. I used to be an engineer at Motorola for their wifi monitoring product. I have been looking forward to wifi 6 and the possibility of using your phone as a transceiver. Audiofusion has got a setup using a laptop but I hope someone comes out with a complete dedicated hardware package. It sure would drop the price of going wireless.

      It really sucks that's the world we live in now. My phone can easily do, checked right now, 50 Mbit/s over a consumer router on my LAN. You can easily push 35 stereo .wav streams over that crappy link, if I calculate correctly. No one should need to buy dedicated hardware for in ear monitoring - you have that already in your pocket. (unless it is iphone, then you need adapter xD)

    • @RiloRox
      @RiloRox 6 месяцев назад

      @@ScottUhlMusic its something specific to coax antenna cables. That resistor has to correspond to the impedance of the cable which for audio is usually 75ohms. I personally lack the detailed knowledge. Here is something ive found online:
      When a digital signal travels along a transmission line, some of the energy is reflected back towards the source due to the impedance mismatch between the transmission line and the source. This reflection can cause distortion of the signal and reduce the signal quality, leading to errors in the data transmission. Termination resistors are used to match the impedance of the transmission line with that of the source and prevent signal reflections.
      Hope that helps! But why that reflection and distortion phenomenon occurs exactly is beyond my understanding unfortunately.

    • @RiloRox
      @RiloRox 6 месяцев назад

      Since wordclock is transmitted digitally to ensure synchronized operation cross audiodevices it is important to have that signal be as clean as possible. But usually when i happen to use axients i connect them via dante which then takes the clock from the mixing desk of your choice and does its own magic.
      But i like the fact that the axient comes with the termination resistor built in. Some older devices dont have that.
      Also on another note, i remember a light colleague struggling with operatin the last moving head of the dmx chain, which was doing random stuff. once we plugged in a termination resistor it started doint exactly what was intended.

    The Shure Axient is an excellent system. However, in terms of sound quality alone, the Sennheiser D9000 is unrivaled. It is the only one with linear PCM, while all others use some form of compression. Also, the D9000 can be used in compressed LR mode (which is basically the D6000 series, the D9000 but without the HD mode, just LR).
    Additionally, I don’t understand people who use such a good system like the Axient with trash capsules like the 58. The 58 is a terrible microphone in general, maybe suitable for small gigs, but for anything else, it’s trash.
    Additionally, the D9000 is an extremely expensive system. It costs over 100 000 Euros. First, you purchase the mainframe, into which components are added as needed. Also, it was released in 2010/11 and does not have all the options that the Axient offers...

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  Месяц назад

      I haven’t heard of that sennheiser system, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. However, tone is subjective. The Axient does sound amazing, and the 58 is an industry standard for a reason. I don’t think it’s an awful mic at all, but I do prefer my nexadyne for sure! I love that mic.
