Alternative to IEM's on stage?


Recommended Posts

I bought Westone AM30 IEMs as my very first foray and love them as they let in enough ambient stage noise to avoid feeling isolated, but I still get the benefits of IEMs.

Each of the musicians has their own wireless transmitter and a crappy little pair of ear buds with a 3.5mm mini-plug for the transmitter.

Replace with Westone ambients, life should start to improve from there.

 

For extra credit, get a 3.5mm male to 1 or 2 x XLR male cable, depending if they are giving you stereo or not.  Plugging that into your wireless thingie would be your feed from FOH, which you would add to a second mixer using the split approach above.  All the changes are at your end, there are no changes at their end.   At a minimum, you will be able to adjust the relative levels between your playing and everything else, while participating a bit more in the ambience of the moment.

 

Edit: the reason I suggest this approach is that I use it frequently in similar situations where they have their system and you have yours.
