Hey guys! been a while since I posted here! When I last posted I was probably in college for audio engineering and only had a pair of JH5s.
Anyways, I was working for Carnival Cruise Lines recently as their Sound Tech and they got me and the production cast some IEMs on their dime. The cast had to all get clear cuz they're on stage but not me. These are my JH7s. Based on a friends pair of Nike Air force ones I saw in 10th grade!
Colours are Tasty Waves II translucent shells, Ripple translucent face plates, and blue artwork. Beautiful!!!
You'll notice they have the Roxanne connectors/cables. Carnival Cruise Lines had a reputation of treating the IEMs pretty rough (some of the cast members have to do 30 second quick changes and rip their IEMs out to yell at stage hands and what not...) so they ended up getting us the Roxanne connectors.
In the picture with the case the ripple color looks much lighter and pink than it does in real life. I reallllllly dig this color and was tempted to do my 16s the same but that's lame! I use these with my iPod classics eq set to "electronic" (gives me a litttle more 64Hz, and gives me some more sparkle... these really aren't that good for iPod use but they are good for mixing monitors live).
Now get ready because I am BEYOND STOKED to show you the artwork I'm getting on my 16s. and if you don't know what it is then you are dead to me
I was in a big debate with myself whether or not to get 13s or 16s.
After a few phone calls with Jerry and Chris I thought I was set on 13s but I've decided last minute to get 16s. As Jerry explained the added low drivers on the 16s aren't for more overall bass, they're for the potential/headroom for more bass without distortion. Which as a monitor mixer I thought would be best. They were pushing for Roxannes but even with my discount that is a lot of money for me this time of year... Chris even mentioned I might enjoy 11s and that they are the most popular model among musicians as they're well balanced with a little more low end head room but I said screw it... I might as well spend the money and get 16s. My last upgrade was a year ago but that was for free, realistically I haven't paid for IEMs in 5 years so I'm doing it.
I'm also very excited that I am sending in my original JH5s for a remold since I'm sending in new impressions for these 16s so I can officially have a gym pair, a backup for work (7s) , and a primary for work (16s). I know you guys may not care but I felt like posting!
