An in-ear monitoring device delivers a precise, high quality monitor mix directly to the artists ears. Giving the artist control of the volume is a positive step to long term hearing health and protection against voice fatigue.
Other benefits include freedom of movement for the artist (wireless in-ear systems), better audio quality and easier transportation compared to conventional stage monitors and improved front-of house sound (spill & colouration are eliminated).
It is almost impossible to make in-ear monitors feedback so once again hearing health is promoted and soundchecks are shorter, happier events.
Less expensive Hardwire systems are a good solution for drummers, keyboard players or anyone not requiring the freedom of movement that wireless systems provide.
