Jack Kontney commented on Bill Evans's group Monitor Beach"HI MIke,
Key IEM factors for the the engineer are reference flat response and high isolation. You need to start with accuracy to have a fighting chance to keep your artists happy, and isolation lowers the noise floor to let you monitor at safer…"

Claxton's discussion Recommendations for IEM setups in the group Monitor Beach"If it's all about sound quality, the PSM900 is getting great notices from the users I've spoken with. It's quiet, it's musical, and it's got the frequencies that were lacking in previous Shure offerings."
Jack Kontney replied to FILIPE GONÇALVES's discussion IEM versus WEDGE MON in the group Monitor Beach"Wearing only one earpiece is distinctly dangerous, Filipe. It forces the artist to turn up by at least 6 dB. I strongly recommend you go either all-ears or all-wedge."

Jack Kontney replied to Martin Frey's discussion Wearing ear plugs while mixing at FOH?"Props for mentioning the La Cerra piece, Bill. I know a couple others who have mixed through them at FOH successfully. Those earphone-mounted mics stay stable up to 140 dB impacts, and reproduction is pretty damned close to reality. Plus you get…"
Jack Kontney replied to vanderborght's discussion smelly mikes"There's some new stuff our called Microphome. One pump of foam onto your palm, spread it on the grille, and you're done. Kills germs, deodorizes, melts lipstick, and leaves a light cherry scent. The foam clings to the grille so it stays…"

Hello campers. Great to see a new space open up for pro audio lifers. Like most of you, I'm working for myself these days. I handle some of the marketing for Sensaphonics and dabble in PR and other writing projects for a few other manufacturers.
Would love the hear from old friends. Drop a comment!

- Nothing much to say,the boss could not work the ambient mics so that was that.
As for me, I recently told Michael that in terms of fit nothing even comes close to his molds.
However I do think that they are very slightly colored on the high end.
I prefer as flat as possible.
My artist does not use them so I don't.
