I play worship with a guy who plays a Taylor with the "Expression System". They don't have an XLR, what they have is a TRS (stereo 1/4"). Of course this means you have to have a 1/4" to XLR cable to plug into a mic input to the board. Not something most churches keep in the gear drawer.
The plugged-in sound is actually pretty sweet, as long as the person playing controls their dynamics well. If you start playing hard, though, the volume seems to shoot up exponentially, causing some really ugly distortion and peaking.
And that's just on the soundman's face.
btw, on Easter he plugged in and we heard a little "pop" and his output went dead. Seems his battery kind of exploded inside. Lucky for him I had my Legend in my car... |

Looking forward to it. What place is that, Cliff? |

(Actually, it's always been a little "roadhouse"-type bar that books too-loud rock bands on the weekends. The current owner (possibly new) also owns the cigar shop in Denville and he's pushing t'do acoustic acts on Sat. nights with wine & cigars. I get the impression that the bartender/manager is resisting this whole thing 'cause when Rick and I were there last Sat. to drop off flyers and check it out, there was a band that was just WAY too loud (for the size of the room) and not a cigar to be found . . . at least not by the second song . . . which was when I left). We'll see . . .
c'mon up & burn one . . . . |
