Rated one of the best of the less expensive IEM systems.I have a Carvin EM900, but haven't used it yet (band on hiatus).
LOL so why am I even responding? Carvin occasionally puts things on sale, so if you sign up for their mailing list, you sometimes get coupon codes for discounts. I got the EM900 for $343 during their Memorial Day sale.
If you are getting your monitor mix from the board, then get an IEM that lets you switch stereo to 2 channel mono and run your guitar into one channel and the rest of the band thru the other. Then you can adjust your guitar level as needed in your mix and not under the control of someone els.I already have Sleek Audio dual driver custom molds and this is my first time looking to the In-Ear monitoring. Also don't buy 600 hertz stuff right? Because it's being taken over?
That depends on the board... Pretty much all the digital mixers out there allow for individual mixes.If you are getting your monitor mix from the board, then get an IEM that lets you switch stereo to 2 channel mono and run your guitar into one channel and the rest of the band thru the other.

Our board does have individual monitor mix (thank god) but with such a variation in dynamics and different instruments playing in each song plus room differences, I sometimes I'm glad I can turn just me up or down in my ears a bit.That depends on the board...

I bought the Shure PSM300 a couple months ago. I already have the Sennheiser ew 300 iem G3. What's your questions? I'd be happy to answer them if I can.Anyone use Shure PSM300? Or 600?
Great! Differences between those two? Battery life, sound and drop outs being of most concern. ThxI bought the Shure PSM300 a couple months ago. I already have the Sennheiser ew 300 iem G3. What's your questions? I'd be happy to answer them if I can.
Ok, I have had no dropouts with the Sennheiser but sometimes I get weird noises when I walk around, I have had some dropouts with the Shure and sometimes they can have a slight noise when it happens which throws off your concentration while playing. Battery life is long on the Sennheiser and short on the Shure, I can't give you any specific hourly rate because I just rehearse until they die and for gigs I always use new batteries. Both units sound good but I like the more open sound of the Shure. The sennheiser has a loud hiss that I don't like at all. The Shure has about half the hiss of the Sennheiser. The Shure is simple and straight forward while the Sennheiser is a little complex. I can do a channel scan on the Shure really easy and that seems to keep the dropouts to a minimum. I'm currently using the Shure even though it has some drawbacks, I like the sound and less hiss is nice.Great! Differences between those two? Battery life, sound and drop outs being of most concern.

There is an inherent noise floor with any IEM system... and with all "live audio" you need to gain stage your IEM system too... Not enough input level and you'll get more "hiss" the more you turn up the receiver. Too much and you'll have very little control over the receiver volume. Use the level meters to determine transmitter input levels.Ok, I have had no dropouts with the Sennheiser but sometimes I get weird noises when I walk around, I have had some dropouts with the Shure and sometimes they can have a slight noise when it happens which throws off your concentration while playing.

Setting limiter levels helps too.. One could easily make the PSM200 "pump" if not tweaked properly.
I've used Carvin EM900, PSM200 and the Senn G3, with the G3 being for about a year now and about 80 gigs. Configured correctly.. the G3 is the hands down winner. I paid $720 for the G3 NIB.
I use 2800 mAh rechargeable AA's in the G3 receiver, and have managed up to 14 hrs use out.
It's been flawless.
highly recommended.
Each to their own.. Whatever works for you.. I have no issues with my G3 and my 1964 A8's buds.. AWESOME audio, and I like being untethered..Agree with this.
I ended up selling my G3 though. I just prefer wired in ears. The clarity with wired vs. wireless is so drastic to me, I go wired.

Same here at church.. either OFF the Aviom or the Behringer P16M - depending on which worship center I'm inI use a long 1/8" extension cable. I also run wired into the Fractal lol.
In the act I'm in now... we do not move at all.
