where can I get a mic eliminator...

[NinjaRaf]

...For a cab, like the ones randall uses on their newer cabs? Im converting my 6505 212 into a 212 cab and I want one of these for plugging directly into boards in the studio for practice, and at shows...Thanks.

Like a speaker simulator?

WOW. Those things are WAY more than what I am looking for. Thanks for the info though. Im looking for something more like this...

Couldn't you do that with a direct box that has a cab simulator built in?

Dunno...thats why I am asking. I still want sound coming from the cab, but I also want the ability to not have to use a mic...I dont think the cab sim would work for what I am looking for.

I'd be willing to bet (friendly bet, no money as I am just speculating) that Randall is just mounting something just like that H/K in their cab switch plate.

I sent them an email. You are probably right, but I dont really know how to set it up so that I can get sound out of the cab and have the direct out to a board. I would also really like it to be built into the cab, but if that cant happen, Ill go a different way. Thanks for the input.

In case any one else is interested, you can buy the mic eliminators directly from randall.

Cool! Did they give you an explanation of how they work? That seems like a really cool feature to have on a cab if you gig a lot.

No they didnt say anything about that. The response was pretty short, just prices for the 212 one, and the 412 one, and a number to call to place an order. Ill have to think about it, since its like 80 bucks for the 212. Seems like a cool feature, though.

Learn to mic an speaker... it's way better.

Of course, but in live situations, a lot of people will take consistency every night (especially when on tour) then having to fuss with proper placement of a mic in front of a cab. Usually, you don't have that kind of time.

I agree, but I have my reasons for wanting this. It has 2 xlrs, so I can go direct to the board, and direct to a powered monitor live...no mics, no stands, only cables. Another reason is that the practice space is a studio, and the cabs are in one room, while we are in another. Its just easier this way to go direct to board and then to monitors in the control room for practice reasons. For recording, of course we will be micing our cabs, but for 80 bucks, I see infinite value with these things. PLus, the consistency at shows would be nice too. Decreases setup times...various other small reasons too.

I have a randall cab. The mic eliminators don't sound that good, I have to turn down the treble alot for them to sound good. They barley sound better than my amp direct in. Impulses work really good.

Mic placement does not change night to night. learn how and you'll do it in less than a minute.

Sorry but I just can't agree. learn what a speaker has to offer. the reason it takes you longer is because you really don't know what to expect with the mic in front of the speaker and have to experiment every time.

Thank you.

I understand what you are saying about micing a speaker, but I wasnt asking about that.
