In ear signal only in one ear

[Pokerdweebz]

Hey guys, our drummer recently purchased a 6 channel wireless in ear monitor system. I have not been at our space to check it our or mess with it, but he said that he only gets signal from one of the ears. What could be causing this? The only thing I could think of would being using a mono cable instead of TRS or vice versa, but I really don't know that much. Help please

Has he tried multiple sets of ear buds?

Has he tried multiple sets of ear buds?

I'm pretty sure he said he did, but I can't say 100%. We have practice tonight so we'll know for sure when everyone else tries theirs.

Hard to say without knowing the model/specs and what's being fed to the iem system.

Maybe a mono aux send and iem requires 2 inputs/LR.

Does the mixer require a stereo or mono INPUT?

If it requires a stereo in--- to get a stereo out, be sure the channels are not panned to one side. (And use a stereo cord between the units as you mentioned).

It could be as simple as a bad connector on his IEM.
