What are IEMs, In Ear Monitoring, and what are they for?
Does the IEM have any disadvantages? We have to take into account that spatial perception is different, since when moving or turning on stage, the location of the sound inside the IEM does not vary and in some cases it can cause some disorientation. It is not a disadvantage when you get used to your brain, it becomes an advantage to be able to move without risk of losing concentration.
Although it is true that at the beginning, the isolation of sound can cause insecurity in the musician but, as in everything, it requires a prior adaptation that can last few days. Some musicians decide to use only one In Ear but this does not protect hearing and can be harmful. Our advice is that you get to adapt to your In Ear gradually, be clear about how you should adjust them and learn to handle the volume control at all times. If you get this, you won't be able to live without them. They will be a guarantee for your voice and your ears. An assurance that you will not have hearing problems associated with noise, which are the cause of many musicians abandoning their careers before their time.
Depending on the type of system, the isolation can range between 15 and 40 dB, the effect of which can be improved with ambient ventilation with a suitable filter, or simply by placing ambient microphones on stage to add ambient sound to the mix. of the micro IE monitor. The high price of customized IEM systems with individual adapters can also influence the purchase of such a system.
Important: The successful change to an IEM system can only work if the person in charge of the sound (technician or sound engineer) takes into account the needs of the musician, which is not always easy to achieve, but being clear about what we want and need and above all, having full control over our In Ear, this will be very easy to fix. The IEMs change the way the musician interacts with the sound, it is an important change, suddenly the sound and what you hear will be different, but it will allow you not to have to shout or strain your ears to withstand high volumes of unnecessary noise. This change is very individual, each musician experiences it in a different way.
Take the impression of your ears
In order to ensure optimum wearing comfort, almost all of our products are custom fit in ear. This means that we must have the impression of your ears.
Ear's impression must be carried out by a professional, the best place is a Hearing Center in your city. In these centers they are used to carrying out this type of work and have the necessary machinery and technology for it. Once we receive the impressions, we carry out a control task and perfect the molds to ensure that they are perfectly sealed. All our products receive a tightness and attenuation test using calibrated digital measurement equipment.
Otoplastic leak tests:
Otoplastic leak tests Otoplastics (custom hearing protection) can only work efficiently if they completely close off the ear canal. This is why leak testing is important. But how often should a leak test be performed? And how does that really work?
In this video you can see how proper measurements should be taken.
