DrVet Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I am looking for a Wireless In-Ear-Monitoring system to gig with. Often I had encountered the problem of not being able to move and hear myself all over the stage since not all the floor monitors had bass from the mix, and it was very frustrating for me since I could literally jump of the stage and play with my Wireless guitar system. What are the very best options am I looking at, besides the SHURE PSM-200 - SCL2? Any suggestions? tnx, F.

jimijimmi Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 i use the Senhieser iem300 (i believe its called that anyways??) with ACS T2 moulded ears.. i absolutely love them!!! altho,its hard not to get dependant on them... i just bought 2 sets of the T-BONE iem100 systems from Thomann for my brother (guitar) and our Singer..and they too are amazing..and i believe there is a half price kinda deal on at the mo, they rrp at 300euro ish but i got them both for 300euro.. great systems..

farmer61 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Don't know what I use, but they are fantastic, we only put the vocals through them but I reckon my vocal performance improves by 25% with in ear over standard monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Forgive my ignorance but I am really interested in looking at an IEM system and just checked out the T-Bone system at Thomann. How does that integrate with an existing PA and desk?

Aside from that, it should be pretty simple - just route whatever mix of channels you want to your desired AUX, plug in the wireless transmitter to that output and it'll send the signal to your receiver so you can hear it in your earphones.

rmshaw37 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 just wondering if i'm the only person to try them and not like them?? i felt i just lost all the atmosphere, even if everything is going through them! and if something is missing, you lose your cue! plus i move around that much on stage, plus the headbanging, they never stay in, no matter how well moulded or how much tape i use! personal opinion is its fine if its a big budget thing where you stay pretty still, otherwise, dont bother!

There is at least one system around where the receiver has an input for a lavelier mic that you can mix in for some ambience. As for plugs coming out & losing the bass in the phones as a result I have been through various things with the Shure plugs I use. The most recent & successful is to change the tips for etymotic (christmas tree) plugs that seem to stay put well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crez5150 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 You can have as many receivers as you want as they are only receiving a signal.... so they only have to cope with one frequency (as opposed transmitting several 'mixes') I've been using IEM for a number of years now and it's my preferred monitoring solution..... yes it is obviously different to stage monitors but a dedicated ambient mic off stage will help with this. Don't expect to get used to using them straight away... give it say a months trial.... As for the ear pieces falling out.... you do have to get decent moulds custom made to avoid this generally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 +1 for IEM. My setup isn't wireless (yet!) but it's really made a difference to how much I enjoy playing at gigs. A good way to get used to playing with IEMs is to practice through them at home to get used to the general feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Can you give any rough idea of total costs for a good system including wireless receiver and moulded ear plugs?

acidbass Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looking into buying an IEM system sometime soon too - is it worth going for a cheaper wireless transmitter/bodypack (that Thomann one for example) and forking out for a good pair of earphones, either custom moulds or Shure SCLs?
