[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 15887, member: 158"] Re: only one in ear in actually, this one is all about psycho-acoustics. if you take one in-ear driver out, the perceived level drop in the ear that still has the driver in is 6 DB. this is huge. and of course, the tendency is just to turn the driver up to compensate. which will lead to bad things... keep in mind, this is regardless of the ambient noise levels. if you do this trick on a dead silent stage, the same thing happens. do it on a loud one, and you're gonna turn it up even louder to compensate... just this morning [i play in a church band] i had my left ear driver fail. bad cable. anyway, i took that one out on the fly, and sure enough, the level in my right ear that had been fine before all but disappeared. i turned it up a bit to get through the next couple songs and then got a new wireset going at the break. but i could still feel the difference in my ear from going that loud for just 15 minutes... short version. one ear = bad. don't do it. 'nuff said. brian [/QUOTE]
