Have you ran into any issues with the antennas just being inside the rack?
Have you considered running them to the front or to an external pedal style antenna?

Hi Zack - thanks for the video. How heavy is this rig? Been going back and forth between a CBI Earsplitter w/ hardwired tales (which I imagine is heavy with a 25' long tail) vs going with ART S8s and a separate snake that I can carry in a plastic bin or a backpack. But then I figured if I had some kind of Art S8 solution, I'd likely also want to get a patchbay to prevent having to fiddle in the back of the rack plugging in 16 channels. So even if I saved some weight by not storing 25' of tails in the rack, I'd still end up with a decent amount of gear in the rack anyway.

Anyhow - if you read this, I'd love to get your take.

Zack what what pieces of the drum do you put into your mix? Kick and snare? Or do you ambient hear the drums? Does Your guitar run in mono into your iem? Is this 6u rack? Nice video brother

Thamks a lot! Quick question, how you labelled the splitter? So we can now what kind of inputs and outputs being plugged on?
