Can you plug a mic straight into it?

Yes. Same thing I linked above.

Haven't seen anything else yet.

Nope. Once again this is a LINE LEVEL input. Guys, just cause it has an xlr, doesn’t mean it’s a mic preamp.

Can you plug a mic straight into it?

My dpa mic feeds into tc helicon mic mechanic box and then onto the input of the rolls personal monitor.

Have just plugged the receiver of a Nux wireless mic straight into the input of the rolls and it works fine. I assume a dynamic wired mic will be no different. It says in the spec that it gives phantom power too

 

[Zasterz]

I assume a dynamic mic will be no different

Yup. I sing through (a slightly different model of) this live. Mic goes in (also passes out to house board in my case.) I guess I linked the PM60 and yours is PM50. Can’t tell what the difference is except the 60 has phantom power? 50 is a tad smaller if you don’t need that?

EDIT: Ok looks like they both have phantom power so I’m a bit confused by the differences between these two similar models. PM60 says it can be used as a standalone mic preamp but PM50 doesn’t say that. Nevertheless, it seems like it would work?

The mic thru takes the signal on to the pa mixing desk. You can adjust your own volume to your head phones without affecting the thru volume.

I also use the input to take a monitor feed from the main desk to also have front of house sound of whole band thru my headphones, and I can mix my own levels of myself and monitor feed of the front of house sound

This item may meet your needs and much more. I have been pondering purchasing one for myself.
It is more than you want but maybe what you need?

It needs to be plugged into your phone for power but you could put that in your breast pocket. while playing. You can hear your play and record at the same time. I find listening to my play after the fact reveals more than listening in real time as I always sound good to my ears! LOL

When doing my gigs I broadcast wireless to my system and can record my preformance to my phone. I thought this system might work well when practicing new and difficult tunes for gigs.

Rode equipment is top notch.

@lig @Tonehole any suggestions ?

@Stephen Howard why not try a Jazzlabs deflector ? Your needs are exactly what these are made for.

I’ve got the Cloudvocal Eversync wireless I’m kit. Have previously had the NUX B7.

Didn’t like the NUX very well. No latency and a very small receiver but some interference issues.

The Eversync has been great so fat.

True it at a rehearsal straight to my IEMs without going to the board. Worked a treat.

Have used on multiple gigs subsequently in some pretty wireless heavy venues without issue.

Recommended. Easy to use, sounds good and quick to set up.

No connectivity issues or latency issues.

Works on the same power bank I use for my iPad, wireless mic setup and now wireless iem kit

They all sit on a tray on my iPad holder so minimal footprint on stage.

Very happy. Inexpensive too. Much smaller body pack than the Shure or Sennheiser wireless iem kits I’ve used.

He specifically said “no wireless.”

 

[Tonehole]

I thought the Rodes might meet the Posters needs, he did not specify why he needed it or what mic he was using.

Depending on the quality of the mic and not going through a mixer he may not like what he hears. He may get a lot of key noise and such.
He gets a whole recording system for a 100£ with the Rode but needs a phone in his pocket.

I use wireless UHF broadcast mics and connect my speakers exclusively by UHF.
This is a much better and much cheaper option than NUXs in MHO.
But I have to be honest I never used a NUX system.

UHF is rock sold in large cavernous venues with pillars and dense crowds. Allows you to hit the floor and move around the dancers with no problems. Play at the back of the hall. Great when playing outdoors in parks, backyards and barns, Churches. So simple to set up. In and out with no intrusion.

I now have 4 Mackie Freeplays, 2 EV8's, and a Mackie Showbox that allows me to set up in any venue in a minimum of time and effort. The Show box allows you to adjust volume to remote speakers if you broadcast to them from the headphone outlet a big plus. All at your fingertips with no sound tech.

I just recently bought a -Mackie ProFX10GO 10-Channel Battery Powered Analog Mixer w/FX/USB/Bluetooth

This unit gives me even more options when booking sidemen, I can now book as a band if I need / or want to take that on. And still I think I can get by without a sound guy. I have enough wireless mics for 6 sideman now.

I play a lot of gigs in different types of venues and genres wireless all the way. Bring my own gear when sitting in with a band or DJ. You never know what they may or may not have.

Yet I understand the desire for hardwire and l still love my old Shure.

 

[Zasterz]

I use Nux B6 at every gig since a couple years ago. No problems yet. The trick is to keep the receiver plugged into a mic cable right next to your playing position. (I usually put it on my music stand.) But anyway, OP isn’t looking for a wireless system, just something to plug his mic in so the can listen on wired earphones.

He specifically said “no wireless.”I’m not sure such a device exists.

Might as well use the clip on sound reflector the but I don’t think he liked that either.

Hm you somehow quoted something I didn’t say! (I said the first sentence not the second inside the quoted text.)

Found this on eBay.
Read that it has a .5-2 millivolt output.
Would something like this work with the item in post #42?

Any headphones with a normal plug will work with the item in post #42. But you cant plug a mic into it so it’s of no use here.

Sorry! Out of the country and using some suboptimal WiFi router.

Couldn’t edit.

Honestly the Eversync is the perfect solution if the op is ok with wireless.

Just can’t think of a non-wireless solution other than maybe a headphone mixer which is more kludgy than the Eversync.

I have an old one - a Rolls that worked pretty well about 30 years ago. 😛

Yup- the various Rolls models have been mentioned 3 times now and I believe that’s his best bet! I use one myself (PM351).

I would go with PM60 since it has an actual mic preamp. But looks like the slightly smaller PM50 that @Merryfisher uses would probably also work. The PM351 that I use is the biggest and lets me also plug my guitar chain into it and control the 3 levels of voice, guitar and monitor mix. I keep it on a music stand in front of me and it feeds my wired IEMs. Since I’m playing guitar anyway I didn’t see the need for wireless IEM. I just have the wire velcroed to my guitar strap. It’s a really smooth setup and both the PM60 and the PM50 are smaller and should be even easier to deal with.

Just the Yamaha personal studio bit of the silent brass comes up for under a hundred quid second hand quite a bit and would do the job with a suitable mic (or possibly the silent brass mute mic instead in the bell) Yamaha STJ Silent Brass Personal Studio at Gear4music

 

[EdJ]

It’s a battery powered box that fits into a pocket or clips on a belt with a line in for mic and line out for headphones, volume control and an option for reverb.

 

[PiccoloPirate]

Battery operated would be a plus.
