[QUOTE="Gary Fitzpatrick, post: 3280, member: 1224"] One of the bands which I'm working with is looking into going down the IEM route and i'm looking a little advice. First a bit of background. They are a four piece irish folk band. Four girls... [LIST] [*]girl 1: Vocals, guitar, keys [*]girl 2: vocals [*]girl 3: Vocals , Fiddle [*]girl 4: vocals, guitar, mandolin [/LIST]The guitars, fiddle and mandolin all have pickups installed. They are not particulary active onstage so I think a wired set-up would be fine...the instruments are all hardwired so one more wire isnt going to make a ton of a difference. I was thinking of using small bodypacks such as these for each of the performers.
