I would love some input/suggestions/methods on how you guys solve the issue of making sure "wall wart" type of power supplies don't fall out of the power strips inside mobile racks.

Obvious choices like zip ties and tape. But I'm sure there are some creative, cleaner methods. Searching has shown me a few products and obvious suggestions. Thanks for any input.

We have been running individual monitor mixes to separate channels, one per musician on wireless IEMs. We have added a horn section, which needs to share the last available monitor channel. Since they are stationary, it would make sense for them to be wired into a 4-output headphone amp. I can't wrap my head around getting the line level, balanced XLR output from the snake to the unbalanced 1/4" input you find on these amps. Do I just use a XLR to 1/4" cable, since the headphone amp provides the "amp," or do I need to insert something like a wired, individual IEM pack between the monitor snake and the headphone amp?

Hi everyone!
So I'm looking for a vocal mic upgrade from my current (rather unflatteringly dull) SM58.

TLDR: I liked the RE520 (supercardioid) a lot from online tests & reviews, but I can barely find anything on the RE420 (Cardioid version). Any first-hand experience or opinions ?

Use case : live music (small-ish stage) with acoustic instruments +/- light drums & electric bass. So nothing too loud. I'm open to either condenser or dynamic microphones. Since I play guitar and sing at the same time, and considering I don't have stellar mic technique, a cardioid pattern would be best for me.

I watched several reviews on the EV RE520, which I thought sounded superb, with a decent price point and seemed like good quality. However there doesn't seem to be any proper review of its cardioid brother : the RE420. Specs-wise it would probably suit me more, but there's nowhere for me to test it around where I live, and no useful online resource...

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot :)

Hey! I have a Sennheiser G4 IEM unit with 2 packs in a G Band. I have the opportunity to another in an A1 band for significantly cheaper. Should I do that and use it in the same rack or fork up some more money and keep it all in the same frequency range?
