Re: only one in ear in


Hey Guys,

I think we can all agree, that when it comes to hearing damage, most of the artists using IEM and indeed wedges have it to a certain degree. And that maybe 4 wedges and ridiculous sidefills, with the possibility of feedback will damage a lead singers ears more than a one-in, one-out IEM situation.

I however agree that it is very frustrating, especially after building a nice balanced mix for the artist, based on wearing two ears, with some nice stereo separation on guitars, keys, reverbs, ambients etc only for him/her to pull one out. And more unfortunately, it means that for us to correctly and accurately do our jobs, we too, have to pull an ear out, turn up the pack, and attempt to put together something audible, yet damaging.

But i'd say my local wedge does as much damage, if not more...
