Setup and maintenance

  • For Sennheiser EM2050, setting AF out to +18 dBu is recommended unless it risks overloading a mic splitter, in which case it's better to reduce the output level.

In the comment section from the linked youtube video you can read this from the comments: "This Video is showing the Stiff Upper Lip Tour. They were not using the Schaffer as a wireless unit in the 00's. They used it in the 70's and early 80's. Angus used a Sennheiser EM 2050 Wireless on the SUL Tour. It wouldn't even be legal to use the original Schaffer Vega in Germany because of amateur radio laws. On the SUL Tour it was just his SG and Marshall Super Leads Reissues."

"Darkglass is part of every show, 'My current rig is a dual channel Sennheiser EM 2050 wireless into a Radial JX62 switcher feeding a fractal audio Axe-Fx II with a Microtubes B7K Ultra in the FX loop', he tells us. 'The Axe sends two signals to front of house, It sends one direct signal that runs through a tube pre and a sub cab sim, the other is an amp channel with an Ampeg SVT model, the Microtubes B7K ultra and another cab sim. I send a 3rd line direct from my Microtubes 500. We blend the 3 tones and its by far my favorite bass tone I have ever had. We have no actual Cabs on stage so being able to run the microtubes 500 without an ohm load is perfect!'"
