Why More Musicians Are Ditching Floor Monitors For IEMs
While the audience focuses on the main Front of House (FOH) mix, a live performance relies just as heavily on monitor mixes for the musicians on stage. This video breaks down how monitor mixes work, the limitations of traditional floor wedges, and why switching to In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) drastically improves both performance quality and overall sound.
In-ear monitors improve every aspect of a live show - from performance to sound quality. Join me as Bertram Zimmermann from Sennheiser tells us the 7 benefits of using IEMs on stage!
Thank you to Sennheiser for making this video possible.
A consistent soundcheck is the best way to lower the anxiety of a live show.
This checklist provides a repeatable system for setting gain structure and performing a thorough line check before the band starts playing.
It includes a workflow for different soundcheck orders and quick solutions for common problems like feedback so you can move from guessing to knowing that your PA system is ready for the first song.
