Hello,
As the title of the thread says, I am looking to put together an in ear monitoring system with a buttkicker throne shaker... I don't have a lot of money to spend but i have a couple pieces of gear that I can hopefully use to complete this system. Please keep in mind that I know almost next to nothing as far as technical sound equipment goes... if I were to have a conversation with someone about sound gear, I would probably come off as semi-retarded... i hit things with drum sticks and make sounds come out of them!
So anyways, here's what I have.. I have a small Yamaha 12 channel mixer model number mg12/4, and a rack mountable Sampson S-phone 4 port headphone mixer/amp. Are these suitable pieces of gear for what I have in mind? I have looked at some DJ rack cases to place the mixer on top and the headphone amp in the rack slots, and i guess I need one more slot to place the power amp for the Buttkicker unit... Does anyone recommend a case? I'd like something fairly compact and maybe with wheels since I'll be carrying this to all my gigs.
So I guess when I'm planning out this system, this is what it will consist of:
Yamaha Mixer
Sampson Headphone Amp
In Ear Monitors
Buttkicker Concert Transducer
Power Amp for Buttkicker
Various Cabling
For the In Ears I have seen plenty of threads on this so I will do some research and make a purchase... I can't seem to find a whole lot as far as power amps besides the amps that Buttkicker sells.. I saw some Fischer Amps designed to work with the buttkicker as well.. Does anyone recommend a certain power amp that will work with the Buttkicker that will be reliable enough to be carted to and from 2-4 gigs a week? It looks like the bulk of my money will be spent on this amp and I'd really like suggestions on what would be affordable as well as reliable (I live quite a long ways from our rehearsal space and gigs.. I drive on average 5-600 miles a week as it is and gas is killing me in my truck! I shudder to think about the gas prices coming up this summer) So I'd like something that I won't have to replace very quickly.
Thanks for your time in reading this... I know Bermuda has a lot of experience working with Buttkicker so maybe he has some valuable input for me!
