In-Ear Monitors

[soft]

wats this thing plugged to?

it is an earphone. some people use it with a wireless recevier, some people use it connect it to a headphone amp or mixer headphone out.

basically, it is to route signal to your ears for monitoring. instead of using speakers, you use earphone. :smt020

BebopTang,

Oucchh.... that must have hurt real bad! I never heard you mention that to me.

Hey, did I inform you of the upcoming workshop on Basic Drum Miking & In-Ear Monitoring on the 19th Nov? If i did not, here's the details:


By the way, I found the Ludwig spare parts Catalog.

Hey silly question of the day on the way. Where can one get one of them audiologist ear test that you were talking about. Havn't quite have one of these done on me ears, should give 'em a check. Thks !

I went to NUH ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Department.

To get it done cheaply, go to a Polyclinic, tell the doctor you have ringing in your ear (who doesn't? And they can't verify that there), ask them for a referal to the ENT at NUH, or Tan Tock Seng, or SGH, whichever you prefer. With the referal, you pay a subsidised rate and not a private specialist rate :wink:

There are also private clinics that conduct this test. You can Google for audiologist singapore and see what you get...

y pay so much for such stuff?

the panasonic plug-in-ear type also can be used right?

[beboptang]

You can ask Rimshot, who's on this thread...

Another aspect to in-ears to think about is the type of mould you are buying: 1. the soft rubbery mould (e.g., Sensophonics, Etymotic); and 2. the hard plastic mould (e.g., Ultimate ears)

I've been using Ultimate Ears (UE-10 Pros - hard plastic) for about a year now, patched into a Mackie desk where I can control the console mix across the band and vox. I used to have Etymotic ER-15 moulded filters (soft rubber) which cut 15DB off the noise across the whole spectrum.

The soft ones are definately more comfortable over longer periods of playing, but tend to go mouldy and gradually spoil over the years. So far, the UE's have been really durable and have been the best sounding in-ear electronics I have used.

Just something to think about if you're contemplating making the investment. In any case, to me, whichever you get, the investment is worth it... you really can't put a price on losing your hearing. Hope this helps.

So, to sum it up, if you want a custom earmold, you would have to go to either NUH or a polyclinic, get the mold, and send it to Sensaphonics in the US?
