Conventional monitoring is achieved with bulky, heavy floor wedges placed onstage. In-ear-monitoring provides a more pleasant and precise way of monitoring:
SOUND QUALITY: When you’re in-ear you can enjoy a clear mix at lower volume (which will reduce the risk of hearing loss) high-fidelity sound and less disruptions from outside noise. Also, your audience will enjoy a better sounding show by eliminating feedback and loud stage noise, often resulting from booming floor wedges that pick up sound from on-stage microphones.
MOBILITY: Floor wedges are stationary and their sound is focused in only one place and direction. In-Ear monitors rest comfortably in your ears and allow you to go anywhere, on or off-stage, and hear yourself clearly.
PORTABILITY: Floor wedges are heavy and bulky while the entire monitoring system can fit in a case that you can easily lift with one hand. The in-ears themselves would fit in your pocket and can be used for personal listening while traveling or wherever you like. |
