    Xvive U4 for Personal Practice

    Hey all, New to IEMs but after reading some reviews I went with the Xvive U4. Using some BASN monitors. I checked the BASNs by plugging them into the headphone jack in my amp head (Peavy Minimax). Sound was normal, I was able to adjust volume on the amp head itself. I have the U4 plugged...

    IEM Belt Pack Question

    I wear my IEM receiver on my belt under my untucked shirt. I move around a lot and my shirt tends to drag over the pack and change my volume. Same thing happens if I put it in my back pocket, it moves around and the volume changes. Anyone got a quick fix for this? I use a Shure P3RA...

    Band on-stage communication when using IEMs?

    The classic country/Americana band I'm in is dipping its toe in the IEM waters. Two gigs ago our steel player and I used Rolls personal mixers to mix the monitor feed from the PA with our own mics and instruments. It was my first experience with IEMs and I loved it. The bandleader had to ask me...

    In Ear Monitors Vs Headphones for practice and computer interface sound at home

    So i have started practicing more and jamming at home Quietly out of respect for family and small sleeping kids. I found an interface for my Ipad and need a decent set of hearing devices that can generate a great clear sound and the tone of my Bass. 1) Are IEM or studio headphones better? 2)...

    IEM/ mix advice

    Our band went IEM/ampless about a year ago and I've struggled with it ever since. I break it down into 2 key areas of issue. 1. Tone. I think I have finally addressed this from a FOH perspective (I'm using the Amplifire Bass Box and getting good tones there using a couple of IRs I got)...

    Bergantino Forte with IEMS

    Hi folks, I am looking at upgrading my stage head. I use IEMs and currently use a TC RH750. The problem is when I connect the headphones to my in ear monitor the speaker output cuts off. Hence it is in ears or stage speaker but not both. My question is does this also happen with the...

    Quality IEM in the $500-1,500 range?

    Sorry if this belongs in a different forum, like accessories or something. It’s about in ear monitors. I have been researching and wanting to invest in a nice setup for awhile, but every thread I’ve found here is, “best on a budget,” or, “as cheap as humanly possible,” or, “for around $200.” My...

    Who's using Westone Am Pro IEMS? Whatcha got to say?

    We've been 'using' an IEM unit on stage now for a couple years with mixed levels of buy in. I have a pack that's pedalboard mounted, but mostly go without because I found that the 'isolation' made it really hard for me to read the room, which made me feel like we're not going over...and not feed...

    IEMs don’t stick to diy ear mold! Help!

    I made custom ear molds for my KZ iems (watched every YouTube vid), the custom molds work great! But the iems just fall out of them! No one else seems to have this problem! Can I glue the plastic iems to the silicon molds? What would I use?

    Yikes - Custom IEMs hurt - Is it normal?

    I just received my custom molded IEMs. First surprise is that they are hard plastic, not semi-flexible silicone like my custom earplugs. Once I have them in, the hurt. Just plain hurt. If I sit still they are tolerable for say 30 minutes. When I then twist them to remove them it hurts...

    When you're shopping for replacement IEM cables these days...

    ...only the finest snake oil will do. Those are Hong Kong dollars. For reference, $4800 is about US$610, $13,800 is about US$1760, and $18,000 gets you around 2300 shiny US dollars. Needless to say, you can buy a whole lot of earbud for that much coin...

    Anyone on here use Best-Ears out of NC?

    My band just recently built our first IEM setup and we decided to go the custom molded route for the ears. After some research, we settled on Best-Ears out of North Carolina. My ears came in this week and I am only a few weeks away from getting to use them for the first time. Just wanted to see...

    Best IEMs for bass?

    I've decided to splash out and get really good moulded IEMs as I'm tired of the cheap ones I have that keep moving and change the bass dynamic in my ears. When I say splash out I'm still aiming to stay below four figures. Thinking around the £700-£800 mark. So much choice. I'd appreciate...

    EQing IEMs

    Used IEMS during last night's gig. There is a learning curve but for the most part it was a great experience. Everyone souned good in my IEMs except the guitar player. He has a lot low end in his Friedman. I was wondering afterwards if I could EQ his guitar line in my IEMs... I asked the sound...

    IEMs - need to boost my bass

    As the title suggests, I'm not getting enough volume from my balanced output from the amp, into my IEM amplifier. Im using Invalid Link Removed with a Invalid Link Removed. The idea being that one channel would come from the mixing desk (this works fine) and the other input from the balanced...

    IEMs comparable to 64 Audio A4

    64 Audio is having a 20% off sale this weekend. I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger and get the A4 custom molds. The sale will take them from $900 to $720. So what is comparable or better in that price range? Just looking for opinions on what else is out there before I do it. Thanks.

    Equalizer for In Ear Monitors? (IEMs)

Lately, I've been getting some (what I think is called RF interference) coming through my IEMs. It seems to be tied to stages that are lit with Neon lights, though I'm not sure. I've tried troubleshooting (changing frequencies, etc)...

    Help me understand something about volume pots

    What is the difference between using a volume knob and having a limiter? For example: I set my line-in volume on my IEMs to 3 o'clock. A sudden spike in volume (feedback or some such) comes from the FOH board and hits my IEMs. Would it be possible for the volume spike to blow my ears out? If...
