I recognise The Steamtown Brew Co. I play there often.

What’s the latency like? Noticed on G4M’s website they never listed this? My band uses IEMs just for a click track, sick of using long cables, so was gunna pick these up just for the click send, so obviously need something low latency!

[@shakyblues2099]

We haven't noticed any latency. There is a bit of background noise on these because they're cheap, but nothing offensive.

I bought these just to get a feel for in ears, and it worked okey. The headphones themselves that i got with this was actually really good (now after i have a more expensive system, i still use the ones from this.). I just wonder, is this stereo? It works with stereo if i plug my phone into the sender, and then transmit that to the reciever. However when i plug into a mixer, as there is only 1 cable input, you would need some sort of splitter? Or is this just mono, and for some reason it works with stereo when playing from spotify😅 also i struggled with audio overload, meaning the volume dropped and completly cutout if everybody wad singing😅 got through it tho, and i actually liked it for my first time. I also had to pull the wire into the reciever out just a little to get mono signal in both ears? Plugging it all the way in only gave audio in one ear😅 i didn't quite understand this system, but last night before our new gig, i needed cables for my guitar and the guy said they had just gotten in a few sennheizer xsw systems, which is a new 5-600dollar system from sennheizer. The audio quality was miles better and i also was able to pan stuff in stereo which was sooo cool. Only problem is battery life.. supposed to have 5 hours, but after 3 hoyrs it was blinking red😅 so a bit scary, otherwise it worked flawelessly

This is the budget system. When using the headphone output of the mixer, it is stereo, but as mentioned, that just gives you the front of house mix in your ears. We have recently bought a mixer with a dedicated aux/monitor send, where we can actually now send a monitor mix separately. But, as with most mixers, the signal is mono... so we got around this by using a single mono male jack to 2 mono female jacks adaptor, then a short two mono jacks to one stereo jack lead into the transmitter. This means we get mono in both ears now effectively. It's been working well for us in rehearsal, but everyone is different, and our singer has decided to go back to having a monitor wedge for gigs, rather than the in-ears. Me and the drummer are both still on these in-ears, but out of the headphone socket again as the aux send is now feeding the floor wedge. Still works well though, no distortion or interference and just hearing the front of house mix is fine for us. I also agree that the buds they supply are surprisingly good. Good luck with your system 👍

Don't buy these monitors. They are terrible. The sound quality is crap. They are not worth the money.

[@shakyblues2099]

They are not the greatest that's true.
