WTB: In-Ear Monitor System

Shangalang1

Hi guys! Looking at options for IEM systems. 

I am going to use Read Audio (https://www.read-audio.com/contact - awesome people!) for some moulded plugs but need a system to run it with. I have been recommended a Shure PSM300 or the MEI1000. Just seeing what's else is recommended and maybe grab something on here it it's a good deal. It will need to have the sender and receiver and necessary power supply. 

I am not sure if this is in the right section so mods please move if necessary.

First question - do you need wireless?

Second question - are you sure that you need wireless?

You'll have to spend a lot more money to get anywhere near the quality and reliability of a copper wire.

Wireless is not a deal-breaker but it would be nice to have the flexibilty. It's mainly for click track in bigger productions rather than monitoring perfectly!

I started with one of these;

Built in limiter to help protect your ears and stereo operation (provided that you have a stereo aux mix available).  Getting your in ear mix right is the key.  You need to hear the bits that are important to your performance along with just enough of rest.  I have some custom moulds (single driver) but I much prefer my generic Shure 535s which are multi driver.

All of my band use the Xvive U4 and have never had any problems whatsoever, pretty reasonable price too

That looks the bollocks but too extreme for me I think!

I feel guilty enough turning up with a 2x12!
