In-Ear Monitors
This technology is very popular in professional shows and is an excellent solution for Church monitor problems. It consists of a transmitter and earphones with wireless belt pack receivers for all or some of the musicians and singers. This method can completely eliminate the sight and sound problems associated with floor monitors. There are no feedback problems, and no monitor sound gets into the room. It also ensures that each person hears exactly what they want with excellent sound quality.
In order to be fully effective, each person should have their own complete monitor system consisting of a radio transmitter, belt pack receiver and earphones. This way they can be provided with exactly the right mix for them. If the keyboard player needs more keyboard on their monitor, you simply adjust their mix without affecting anyone else's.
Although these systems can be a bit more expensive than a floor monitor system, they are coming down in price. By the time you add up all the floor monitor speakers, cables, amplifiers, jacks and wiring, there may not be as much of a cost difference as you might have thought. When you consider the fact that they can solve your monitor problems, and make everyone happy, they become a serious contender.
As with all professional sound equipment, we are constantly testing new products. At the present time, we consider the Shure P2TRE2 and Galaxy AS-1000 to be the best in terms of cost / performance.
Shure P2TRE2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor
The
Shure
P2TRE2 is a relatively low cost Wireless (or wired) Personal
In-Ear Monitor system. It operates in the UHF band and provides
good quality, reliable, interference and dropout free sound. The
system consists of a radio transmitter with two separate inputs,
a belt pack receiver and earphones. One input on the transmitter
can be used for a general monitor mix, and the other input can add
more of the individual user's instrument or vocal. The belt pack
has its own volume control and the earphones come with several different
ear tips to ensure that they are comfortable for everyone. Although
you can operate as many receivers as you wish on one transmitter,
this defeats the possibility of giving each person what they want.
Galaxy AS-1000 Wireless In-Ear Monitor
The ANY SPOT AS-1000 is the latest monitor from Galaxy Audio. The ANY SPOT is easy to use. Simply plug the ANY SPOT into a 'monitor out' jack on a mixing console, create the desired mix, and it's ready to deliver quality sound. The ANY SPOT has 64 selectable UHF frequencies to help locate the best and clearest one to transmit signal. The transmitter (AS-1000T) is selectable to either mono or stereo.
The ANY SPOT AS-1000 features a true diversity receiver. This means fewer dropouts than a non-diversity system. In the rare event of a dropout, our 'Auto-Mute' feature kicks in. Auto-Mute prevents intermittent static from going into the users ears.
The ANY SPOT is also a great assistive listening system. The AS-1000T will transmit to numerous receivers. Simply patch the program signal to the transmitter and give each parishioner or attendee a receiver so all can hear clearly.
