The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread - a guide to help every musician

[TimR]

I don't think your brain would notice ears being out of phase as that happens all the time with sounds arriving at one ear before the other.

Thanks Tim. Makes sense! 

 

If it makes an "in principle" difference, I guess it would be best practice to be using the silver TS to TRS adapters as standard rather than the gold TRS to TRS adapters? And this is a more general point?

 

Those plugging their 1/4" stereo jacks from their wireless IEMs (eg Swiff WX520) into a single balanced mono aux-out jack will just have to take what they get!
