So was chatting to singer yesterday about upgrading our PA a bit and to my surprise he is really k en on tying IEMs.
I'd be well up for this but assumed I'd ge no traction from the band.
So my question is, what's the bare minimum you can get going with. Our current.mixer is a 4 channel behringer one so mixer is obviously order of the day.
Ideally we want a mix each so 4 aux sends and I reckon to accommodate upgrades in the future 8 mic pre's. Is it common to be able to individually EQ on the aux sends?
For the actual IEMs I was thinking use our own ear buds to start hooked up to headphone amps running wired into the PA with individuals then buying their own wireless packs or moulded plugs if they want them. This also gives the option of anyone wanting a edge adding that in future too.
Mixing from phones would be great but I expect out of our price range.
So whacarvoeoples though on a reasonable expectation of vet?

Custom buds are the best but the Shures are pretty good especially if you tape them in at the back
A band I know quite well has been using the XR18 and they love it. I'll be getting one soon to replace my A&H Mix Wizard.
If a used one turned up I'd be all over it!
A proper IEM system will be significantly more costly but significantly better, but either way both from an ear-protection point of view and a playing live point of view, I wouldn't gig without IEM now. I can hear my singing and my playing so much better than ever before. The downside being it is very "warts and all" because I can hear my mistakes much more prominently now!
