In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) for Musicians
Transitioning from traditional floor wedges to IEMs can be a daunting experience for many musicians, often leading to feelings of isolation. Dr. Heche and Dr. Beck tackle this issue head-on, discussing personalized mixes, ambient microphones, and the benefits of click tracks, all aimed at creating a more comfortable and safe auditory environment. Drawing from Dr. Heches’ experiences performing in New York, we delve into the practical benefits of IEMs for musicians at all levels, from students to seasoned professionals, emphasizing how these devices can help prevent hearing damage even in the loudest of stage environments.
