RE: In Ear Monitors.



for what its worth-
 
ive owned 3 pairs of IEMS -
first pair was ultimate ears e-10 tripple drivers - custom molds - sounded awesome untill i stepped on one of them after it fell out during a performance - $1000 down the shitter
then i got the guitar center special...the non molded ultimate ears ...ue-5's i think (around $200).....horrible fit...mediocre sound......
so i had my molds taken by an audiologist ($70) and sent them to sensaphonics along with my ue-5's....and they installed the IEMS into the molds.....worked great untill i dropped them in the snow somewhere during load out......note to self....clear molds are not the best idea if you are clumbsy like me
 
if you go the route of doing your own ear impressions...take careful note in the position of your jaw when you let the material settle-
the volume of your aural cavity changes drasitcally based on the position of your jaw....so if you plan on singing with them in, you will want to open your mouth slightly...maybe an inch to 1.5 inches of space between your teeth -
if you're not singing...then mimic the facial expression of you playing your instrument...and keep still
 
all in all, IEMS violate my new rule of owning very expensive small things....as they are too easy to loose or destroy...so now i use regualr ol headphones for mixing and performing
 
goodluck
