-What are the advantages of using EarSonics in ear monitors?

- Reduced risk of hearing damage.
- less vocal fatigue, better mixing, better live performances thanks to the précision that EarSonics^® in-ear monitors provide.
- Improved and consistent sound quality at a low cost. (you will have to pay more for the same quality in floor wedges).
- eliminated problems of feedback.
- Reduced cartage costs for touring bands.
- Freedom of movement on stage (when used with a wireless system) , with the same quality and présicion of sound in every places of stage.

-What is the difference between a "dual driver" and a "single driver" monitor?

The EarSonics^® single driver EM1 model have one driver/speaker in each earpiece. This one driver/speaker reproduces the full range of frequencies. It result a natural sound witht flat response and frequence range from 40hz to 16khz

With the EarSonics^® dual and triple driver (EM2 PRO/EM3 PRO) models, the incoming signal is split by a crossover that is built into each monitor. The crossover splits the frequencies so that each driver receives only those frequencies it is designed to reproduce. This allows each driver to be specifically selected for the best performance in a specific frequency range. It result a extended sound with more deep bass and more sharpness in high frequences. The frequences range is from 20 hz to 18khz.

-How should the audiologist take the ear impressions?

We are manufacturing a full shell earpiece. We require the ear impression to be a full ear impression, including the helix portion of your ear. The impression should go past the second bend of your ear canal and your jaw should be open during the impression. Contact your local hearing local or audiologist, and send us your ear impressions (see the contact section).

-Will I feel too isolated?

Isolation from competing stage volumes is necessary to hear the signal coming through an in-ear monitor clearly and at a safe loudness level. Your brain perceives loudness based on signal/noise ratios. For example, if you are driving your car at high speeds with the windows down, you cannot hear your car stereo clearly. When you stop, the volume appears to be much louder bust has never changed. The improved signal/noise ratio has changed and your perception of loudness along with it. In ear monitors work the same way. If you feel too isolated from the audience/room, we suggest you use ambient mics to control the amount of house sound into your overall mix. Porting the in-ear monitor to let ambient sound leak in will result in turning the in-ear monitor to unsafe loudness levels in most cases and is not recommended.

-Do I need any other equipment to make them work?

Yes, you need a personal monitor system (wireless or hardwired) or a headphone amplifier (a headphone out of a small mixer will work). The wireless systems like Shure or Sennheiser models will give you the quality of sound you are looking for.
