    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    I suggest listening to music that you're familiar with on the speaker. I tune mine as I tune a PA system. And tune at the level you'll use them at. I want to be somewhat confident that my presets sound pretty much the same for me as they do out front. If they don't, blame the FOH engineer...

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    They should work perfectly well for any instrument (that doesn't require more power). I'd tune the EV's, and any other monitor I use for guitar, as I tune a PA: using music, and some times pink noise. Knowing that they sound as similar to a PA as possible, I can tune my presets and be...

    Avoid any amp simulation. Just feed it a very clean bass, guitar or sine wave (playing single low notes) It will reveal that bzzzz. It follows the notes that are played, like a weak distorted signal some octaves above.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    Hm....what does static decay sound like..? Bosch told me, two months ago, that the issue has been fixed in the current production line. I sent mine back to Thomann a month ago, but it seems I'll have to wait 4-5 more weeks for a new one. Not sure what's up...

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    When/if you're sending demonstration files to Thomann, I'd only include obvious sounds :cool: Like only low notes...preferably with top end (overtones) rolled off on the bass. Or deep sine sounds. I sent them THIS file, but their tech department thought maybe it could be resonance...(As if there...

    Make sure they really understand the issue, and not just exchange the returned one for a new unit without confirming that the new one is from an unaffected batch! :expressionless:

    You lucky bastard! 🤓 They are aware of the issue and have addressed it, so I'm pretty sure they must have.

    No, no gating issue. It's a very obvious distortion artifact when playing clean notes in the lower register.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    Meh...Thomann sent me another one with the same issue. So I'm gonna have to send the 2nd one back and get a 3rd one through customs :tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed: The message didn't get through, so they obviously just switched for another unit they had in stock without checking...

    Yeah, that's what I was expecting too. Have to go pretty loud before it disappears. At least without any other sounds/instruments to mask it out.

    Hehe, no :p Just sliding around on a flatwound low E on the guitar.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    No, I mean the distorted additional octaves to every note. I connected the guitar directly to the EV, and only played on the low E string. Should have been completely clean. EV confirmed that they're aware of the issue, and that current production should be without it. I don't think it's a...

    It was very obvious when playing clean sounds in the lower register. Jazz is out of the question 🤓 Here's a recording of the issue on mine: Clean guitar on PXM-12MP

    I'm guessing you mean Dynacord? Electrovoice repair service lists a bosch.com email, the physical address is EVI Audio GmbH in Germany, and the official website for this EVI Audio is dynacord.com :yum: I'll let Thomann sort me out 🤓

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    I'm in Europe, outside the union, so it would be somewhat of a hassle to ship stuff back and forth (taxes, customs). If indeed the newer batch is without this issue, I'm hoping Thomann would just sort me out with a new one :checkeredflag:
