in-ear monitor or stage monitor???
« on: April 05, 2010, 12:01:21 AM »
the reason why i made this topic because of my vocalist (first) because during our first practice, she can't hear herself singing so of the errors she committed for sure is her struggle of staying in-tune. i can hear her (but not clear) singing because she is a meter near me and i'm bashing the skins and plates.

and if in-ear wins, can somebody tell me the most reliable and most affordable in-ear monitor-with-transmitter unit out there, how much will it cost and where can we buy it? thanks and have a good day.
Lasapin mo ang ambience ng gig. Kung masaya, mag enjoy ka lang.
Sulitin mo ang set nyo. Have fun playing.

you can consider these 2 options:



MIPRO MI-808R + MI-808T   http://www.mipro.com.tw/link/2_3.htm

if you are curious about the quality & integrity of the R.F., it would be good for you to know that this is the system used for the recent International PYPRO OLYMPICS at the Mall of Asia.  During the event, audio was transmitted to the 4 fireworks barges which was 300m from shore and also to speakers as far as the ESPLANADE ONE 1.6 Km. away for the remote speakers distributed around the MOA shoreline

+ 100  8-)

when we speak of mipro,  we always attribute to it the breakthrough in wireless technology which is 'act'; which stands for 'automatic channel targeting'. mipro developed and patented this innovative infrared technology in 2001.  it changed the way we look at wireless mics and is perhaps the greatest advancement ever made to it.  

bravo mipro!

Lowriderthug,

I must also mention that before you get into IEM systems, you have to be sure you can manage it well.   It's not any simpler than managing wedges.  

The best way to so this is to use the same type of IEM earbuds that the artist is using in order to know what he is hearing and in any case, what he asks to be louder and what to cut back, in short, you have to treat his IEM as an independent mix unlike the others.  like with the bassy instruments like the Kick or the bass, you have to be able to make sure you don't put in so much that it would muddy up the whole mix.  maybe even applying a Hi-pass filter to cut out a lot of the un-needed low end......anyway.......


2 things to make you perform better when doing monitors....

1) a controlled sound level on stage, work as a band, just turn up you amps for you to hear yourself, not the audience.......

2) a good pair of wedges, pay very particular attention to the vocal reproduction when choosing a wedge.  not all 2-way wedges are created equal

3) if you are the guy doing the monitor mix, have a good pair of headphones....not those bassy DJ headphones!

4) keep the AUX at PRE-FADER :)


Hope this helps.   There is a lot more to it but this will get you started.

just another thing and I use it as a rule.......a band with good monitors and plays easily is half the battle, you just have to bring them out in the FOH speakers...but a band that is lost and going each others' way will always be a [gooey brown stuff] mix.

Stage monitors often taken for granted and would always be 2nd or 3rd priority in investing in a sound system....it should be as important as your FOH speakers.


you have to remember that it is also that bands that could recommend you to other event producers and organizers, so treat them well.

Thanks sir!

yesterday, we are able to testdrive our new pair of B3 u12a,

if you will look closely, nanjan si Mayor Jun Chipeco(white) at Timmy Chipeco(black shirt) nasa front row, at ibang mga politicians.




at dahil sa pagmamadali hindi na namin naikabit sa EQ at Limiter, direct from aux send ang nanyari,  it did perform well
, happy na ang mga singers, :)

stage noise naman ang susunod na iddeal namin.


Im still looking forward to this MIPRO MI-808R + MI-808T, kasi ung worship leader namin keeps on asking me,.


how much for this item mga bossing. salamat. :)

Here is a breakdown of the prices:

MI-808R + MI-808T =46,995 retail

that does not come with earbuds, you can use off-the-shelf earbuds available around or we suggest you choose between the JTS-IEM 1 (single driver) or IEM-6 (dual driver)
