[QUOTE="Lee Brenkman, post: 1367, member: 154"] All of us who have mixed monitors at the "upper middle class" club level have encountered the drummer who does the sound check with ears wide open and then puts in the generic foam plugs for the show and immediately wants "more everything, ESPECIALLY the kick". And I know the horse left the barn years ago on the "stage levels have gotten somewhere between irresponsible and thermonuclear" thing. BUT I was still perplexed to read this, in the "Live" story about Linkin Park in the April 2011 issue of "Mix". "The entire band except guitarist Delson are on JH Audio JH-16 ear montiors, The wedges (12 Adamson M12 underhung and two M12s on stage) and SX18s sidefills are for Delson, who wears generic foarm earplugs with Peltor gun muffs over them." Remember one of the Ten Commandments of Rock, "it's not for volume it's for TONE!" Even if that tone is perceived though earplugs AND gun muffs! [/QUOTE]
