    UE IPX Connector - Fits ACS?

    Hi, I've got a pair of ACS T1s which are around 2 years old - these use the Linum T2 3mm diameter connector, which I understand is the basis of the new UE IPX connector system. (https://www.acscustom.com/uk/products/accessories/linum-cable) Does anyone know if the UE IPX plugs will fit the...

    Anyone heard the 2010 ACS T1?

    I'm planning on ordering a pair in the next couple of weeks - I have the T2 so qualify for a 15% discount :)   I'll probably post a quick review / pics when I get them, but I think there are already a couple if you search...

    question about my JH 16 pro isolation level

    This is a fairly common question. If you search you'll find references to the Sensaphonics Seal Test http://www.sensaphonics.com/test/index.html

    Can custom Westone earplugs double as a nice IEM?

    ACS have a pair of earphones that are designed to fit in place of the ER-9/15/25 filters. http://www.hearingprotection.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=115   Just be careful that you don't wear out the earmoulds because as you change filters more often the filter...

    Livewires for the young

    I think i remember reading somewhere that most peoples' ears slow down growing at about age 16. So you might be OK. The ears and nose are the only parts of the body that never stop growing, so that's why anyone is going to need refits every 5 years or so. In some cases the IEM companies...

    Looking for ear plugs

    Well, you could start with the Etymotic ER-20 earplugs. They have a flat response so they won't change the sound of the music too much. Pick your own colour, but I have no idea how far they'll stick out of your ears. If you've got the cash, you could consider going for the custom-fit...

    Wireless Personal Monitor System

    The conductor is not likely to be moving around much, so you could probably get away with a wired system. This does involve running more cables from the mixing desk to the conductor's location, but it is usually cheaper and better sound quality. Shure makes wired versions of some of their...

    IEM musicians

    If you're just starting out, probably go for some musicians earplugs (eg Etymotic ER-20 for universal or ER-15/25 for custom fit). I figure that you use a guitar amp which may be miked during gigs. Setting up an in-ear-monitor system is a bit expensive if you want it to be wireless (and even...

    Ear Protection

    If you're singing, you might find that you will experience the 'occlusion effect' with the ER-20 earplugs. It makes your voice sound louder in your ears because they are partially blocked. If it bothers you, see an audiologist and get some Etymotic ER-15 (blocks 15dB) or ER-9 (blocks 9dB) and...

    Questions about IEMs and Earphones.

    Also came across this on the ACS website - they're not the ER6, so I guess they're a bit of an unknown quantity, but you could be the first to try them and give us a review T15™ Modular Monitors

    Questions about IEMs and Earphones.

    If you have Etymotic ER-9/15/25 style earplugs, I saw somewhere an adaptor to fit the Etymotic ER6 earphones into them. Haven't seen any reviews of that combo though. Sorry I can't find the link right now, might try later.

    Looking for IEMs in Melbourne AUS

    Depending on what you want (and where you are) there are places like Welcome to audiophile (Fitzroy North) and Audiolifestyle (Fitzroy) - both have a small selection of IEMs and a storefront so you can see what you're getting. OTOH, some 'mainstream' stores like JB Hi-Fi are starting to carry a...
