Good evening Drummerworld,
I have a few questions out there for drummers who are on in-ears in a live environment. I have googled and found ancient threads on this board and others with links to products that are no longer sold or otherwise out of date or unclear information. Without further ado...
1. Do most reputable clubs have a wireless system now or do I need to also purchase a receiver pack, transmitter, etc.?
1.5. If I have my own receiver pack, will it work via radio with any transmitter or are most/all brands' transmissions proprietary-only?
2. One of my main concerns is peak limiting, of course for feedback/dropped mic/singer shouting at the audience purposes. Do I need some kind of small in-line limiter, or do most/all receivers have them built in?
2.5. If I had an in-line limiter, in theory I could then just plug into the headphone out of any stage wedge (if it had one), in the event a club doesn't have a wireless system... right?
3. What has your general experience with IEM's been?
Thanks,
Eric
