How "fat" a discount on a set of UE900 and can you ship to the UK?
They're currently £329 and I'm considering A/Bing them with my shure SE535.....
Hey Damien!
I'm only 'really' able to help people out starting at the 11's. I work with the fitted Monitors, and not the earbud style ones. Sorry about that! That's a pretty solid price, though.
Travis ....
How bout an introductory "In Ears for Dummies" ....
I'd love to go that route, especially for home practicing .... But truthfully, I'm over 50 years old ( a bit of a technology dunce ), and I don't know where to begin ....
THANKS !
Woohoo!
Alright so, hmm..where to start about In Ear Monitors...
What we do at UE is take a mold of your ear, send that mold out to California, and 3D print a pair of in ears that are custom fit for your ears.
We offer a bunch of different models all designed for different things.
For example, the UE11's have 4 drivers, and a 3 way crossover. We tweak them to work best with bassists, DJ's, and drummers. These monitors...you guessed it..are bass heavy and actually include a subwoofer!
We have the UE7, which is focused on singers. We also have the UE-18, which are designed for Engineers and mixing. Before I get into the Axe stuff, here's a quick breakdown comparing the models:
UE4: 2 drivers, 2 way crossover, best for people who are just trying to get their feet wet with In Ears. Retail: $399
UE5: 2 drivers, 2 way crossover, best for budget live musicians. Retail $600
UE7: 3 drivers, 3 way crossover. Vocalists, for $850.
UE11: 4 Drivers, 3 way crossover. Subwoofer people! $1150.
UE18: 6 Drivers, 3 way crossover. Touring Musicians, mix engineers, all the good stuff. $1350
UERM 3 Drivers, 3 Crossovers. Designed for mix engineers. $999
We also make the UE1 and the UEPRM. The UE1 is a single in ear,, while the UEPRM conforms to the problems within your own hearing and adjusts accordingly for an ideal frequency response.
A lot of people ask me if they are "noise canceling." I hate this term. In Ears have a noise reduction of 17/18 dB passively. Ask anyone who's used them onstage and (with little engineering) it's the perfect blend of room and noise reduction.
I would prefer to not discuss pricing in detail over the forum, but rather a PM. I will say though, I can do the best for you guys with a bulk order of 7's and lower models, or a single pair starting at the 11's.
I'd be happy to discuss which pair would work best for you and your particular use for them. I'm not a "salesman" and don't work off commission so I won't be pushing you to get the best pair we have if you wanna listen to youtube-ripped mp3's all day. In general, it seems that a lot of people grab a pair of the 18's. I've worked with a few bassists who end up going from the 11's to the 18's and vice versa.
R.D, based off of your one post, the first question I would ask you would be your budget. As I mentioned, I'm starting to work with the Axe FX and UE to act as the middle man between the two. I personally LOVE working with the 18's because I can mix, track some guitar, and lock in tones depending on my setup. I'm starting to figure out how I want my FOH sounds to sound in the UE's, along with my cab sounds...crazy.
Thanks guys, feel free to ask more questions! As for the guys who PM'd me, I will be getting back to you too!
Thanks again,
Travis
