Super positive feedback for Chris! Deal with confidence!

Go for the Markbass. I use this and it is very good.

Yes i think thats a must have.

Hi there just have to give some feedback having received my JH Audio J16’s and used them on Saturdays gig. i was truly amazed! Hi fi clarity, and deep rumbly bass which you can adjust on the IEM cable. I was honestly hearing what my band mates were playing as never before! And super comfortable, never really aware of them other than the cable. one thing to watch for is volume, as initially i was running mine too loud. Zero distortion and lack of dynamic range toward the end of the set. Just lovely, clear music snd no ringing ears the next morning. Bliss. thanks to EBS Freak, and a shout out to Paul at Custom In Ears who was amazing. Very patient, and helped with my choice. if you thinking of going this route, and saving whats left of your hearing, dont hesitate - you wont regret it. now to solve my personal mixer……ME1 methinks……….. finding it a faff to get the keyboard player to alter my mix, so need to do this myself. loving this journey…….

Cheers, good solutions thanks which i will take on board. custom fits first, and will see about getting the talk back mic. Do you put the drum overhead on a standard mic boom? mike

EBSFreak what is your experience and opinion of the ambient in ear monitors, like these…. http://www.custom-inearmonitors.co.uk/iems/jh-audio-ambient-fr-custom-in-ear-monitors.html I am based in sussex do you have any thoughts on the best folks to work with to demo and order? i used the ZS10’s for the first time at our NYE gig. Currently from the A&H SQ desk wired to my small A& H mixer and wired to me. Using this set up to make sure its for me before deciding upon my final kit selection. it was a revelation as you said it would be, although i noticed treble distortion after around an hour ( a 3 set evening!), perhaps my ears shutting down? Or the cheapy in ears? However this did not change my opinion-at all, i am defo going this route and about to start sourcing my custom in ears. Hi fi clarity, and no deafness at all-or ringing ears at the end of the night. the whole band was playing at lower volumes leading me to think that i have been edging my volume up over the duration of gigs. I have been thinking this was others and i was compensating but i think not now! My bad. all the usual issues as communicated - ambient noise, not being able to chat easily with bandmembers or hear when they change the set list which led to a super pregnant pause when we played ‘I Wish’ out of order as i start it. Lol. All of these can be solved i think and if not i would still use in- ears. Wish i had discovered it years ago. Not intending to go wireless either as i am not Flea! thanks again

great advice thanks

Cool, so not very good then. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks. What do you think of ACS custom iem?

Thanks very much, i really appreciate you taking the time. cheers

Sorry, the other question i had was about the Backbeat haptic device. Is wiring one of these into the set up fairly easy?

Hi there. i would appreciate more advice if you have time? Perhaps a chat or continue on email? i bought the ZK Z10 pros, which i used for the first time (wired) into a small mixer, with the mix controlled by the Allen & Heath digital desk that the band uses. I got on very well with it, much better than i thought i might. The ZS10 are very good value really and the sound was good. the reason i am going down this path is to try and reduce the overall volumes on stage, hear what others are doing more clearly! And also to protect my hearing. I wear hearing aids, with alot of loss at higher frequencies for need to take that seriously. the ZS10s having a super bass response, and i think they have a dynamic driver in conjunction with balanced armatures. going forward i have a pm1 on the way, and plan to invest in moulded in- ears. Budget is not an issue, but could do with your advice on two things please. - the best in ears to get - adding in a digital mixer to my set up to allow me to set the mix, not just the volume. i have found your advice brilliant so far, and want to thank you for that. best, Mike

Hi Nick, sounds good. I will give you a call…. best, Mike
