Here's my super simple, great sounding setup for live streaming.

So, I own and love the Edwina, but it has a serious hazard for the unwary or stupid. The front and back look virtually the same so it is easy in the heat of a hurried setup to put it up backwards. What is treacherous is that it still works. It just sounds a lot worse and at a lower level so it makes you run off checking every thing else before you are finally confronted with your own stupidity.
Before I bought one, I borrowed one from a musician and in the case was a note which said "Screw heads to the front". And I thought "What kind of halfwit needs a reminder like that?" and then of course in a rushed setup, I put it up backwards. I since have added little white dots on the business side of the mike. So the Edwina is a great mike but it works much better when used correctly. I'm surprised everybody doesn't make this mistake...

Sorry if someone posted this already but it looks like Billy Strings now uses the double helix as part of his set up. I am assuming he is using it more for effects but not too sure.

We used the Edwina at Sunday's AGF Open Mic and it sounded really good!

One thing forgot to mention about this photo when I took it - that pile of cables sitting on the couch out of focus are all the cables I was able to eliminate from our live stream setup! So that's two mic cables, a guitar cable, and the cable for the mixer to the Bose. Of course then there's also the two hand mics, one boom mic stand and of course the Bose itself. Not that my setup and gear was all that cumbersome to begin with but this latest stream setup doesn't get much smaller and simpler! Anyway, after I saw the photo I got a chuckle. I didn't place those cables there to include this but I thought it was an interesting thing to point out!

Great demo and great review! Soo clear—-I’m sold! I like the guitar without any reverb (through my iPad anyway). Definitely the clearest-sounding online live feed I’ve heard yet! Thanks for posting!

Methos, I finally got a chance to listen to your Friday night live recording. You sound great. Love the classic sound of your Martin and the mic does a great job without hyping things like a super sensitive condenser mic (C414 for instance) which you mentioned.
Really appreciate you fine playing and great sound. Well done.

Basically, the answer is not good. I tried using the ETL Edwina live through the Bose S1 and no matter what I tried I could not get a decent level of volume without awful feedback. This was performing inside our small home/living room. Regardless of where I placed the S1, screech the moment it was bumped up in volume. So then I tried it outside and I was able to get it up a bit but not enough from the physical distance we need to stand at. I think maybe if I had stood closer to the mic I might have had better luck but since we both use the one mic I wanted to simulate the distance of both of us standing where we normally stand. In the end I gave up rather quickly since we aren't currently playing out anyway. We did play one virtual show on a stage where I took and used the Edwina as our sole source running into the venue's house PA and they said it sounded fine but I have yet to hear that recording so I can't comment personally. If I ever do then I'll comment back. But I can say definitively for me at least that the Bose S1 / ETL Edwina combination does not work for us! |
