[QUOTE="Jason Dermer, post: 19347, member: 234"] Re: Audience Mics for In-Ears Does your singer use a mic stand? I have done well in the past with various mics attached to the stand. The best result was probably an omni lavalier with beltpack attached right to the stand, with a bit of foam at the element to prevent thumping. Yes, it is mono, but it seemed to give him a sense of space, generally relative to where he was. I have also done pairs of 56s clamped on to the stand, but it was a bit obtrusive and he found the reverse imaging when he turned around to face the band disconcerting. Doesn't one of the major players in IEMs offer buds with some built in ambients with a separate volume control on the pack? To answer Jay, I have found that with some artists, a ducker, keyed by an instrument only mix with slow attack and release times, and only about 5-10db of reduction, to be helpful. The trick is taking the time to make it sound natural to the artist, any pumping in the ears will quickly result in "pullouts" or complaints. [/QUOTE]
