A $100 Wireless In Ear Monitor System & Other DIY IEM Setups

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you guys for checking out the video, and hope you found it useful! If you are looking to spend a little more money, I made another video about a very simple and extremely portable IEM system that I use most of the time I travel for gigs or whenever I don't want to take my Sennheisers out of the rack.

Hello Scott,is the ammoon t/r system mono? Is it a problem to run mono iem system ?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

@@christianpucciarelli It will be a mono system using this method

[@christianpucciarelli]

@@ScottUhlMusic I guess it works good anyway ?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

@@christianpucciarelli It works great! But you have to realize this is a wireless IEM "hack"... this isn't a normal way to use IEM's. If you are truly interested in IEM's and you have to get stereo, and you are super picky about your tone, this isn't the video for you. Gotta shell out the money if you want that! This is a trick to save money.

[@modusartsgroup]

I am using a BOSS WL-50 transmitter + receiver set FROM my guitar INTO my Digitech RP360 effects processor/amp simulator. And then a BOSS WL-20L transmitter + receiver set FROM my Digitech RP360 and finally INTO my Behringer Powerplay P2. The BOSS WL-50 and WL-20L work seamlessly and without interfering with each other. You just have to remember to "pair" each set's transmitter to the proper receiver before each session. Coming OUT of the Digitech RP360's stereo 1/8" output jack via a high quality 10' long, 1/8" to 1/8" patch cable, I then use a high quality 1/8" female to 1/4" male adapter going into a high quality 1/4" female to 1/4" female line connector, with the WL-20L transmitter 1/4" plug going INTO the opposite end of the 1/4" female to 1/4" female line connector. The WL-20L receiver is then plugged directly INTO the Behringher Powerplay 2 with, of course, a pair of high quality studio headphones coming OUT of the the Behringher Powerplay 2. (The pocket clip on the Behringer Powerplay P2 is super-convenient.) This is how I practice at home. All together this cost significantly more than $100 but I chose to go this route because of the versatility of all of this gear if I want to set up differently, for instance, using the BOSS WL-20L and the WL-50 to go wireless with two instruments simultaneously (me and a collaborator) or even to go wireless with one instrument and, by way of a XLR to 1/4" male converter, one mic. Haven't tried that yet but I COULD without paying $300 for a BOSS wireless mic receiver/transmitter set. (Which I probably will do anyway because I'm sick. SICK, I TELL YOU! This is what Sweetwater can do to a person. Guard your Souls, friends....)

Do you have to use the headphone amp or can you just use a quarter inch adapter on the receiver and adapt the quarter inch to eighth inch headphone Jack?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

As long as you have a way to turn up or down the volume of whatever the wireless receiver is plugged into (so you can control volume of your IEM mix), you can use whatever you would like 👍

[@yairidy90]

I've tried this and it works great in my garage. Will try at a gig next week. I went with the lekato wireless that runs on UHF frequency so it wouldn't conflict with my NU-X B5RC that runs on 2.4ghz. only difference I can tell going wireless is it almost seems like there is a noise gate or something. I don't hear the first click of the click track but I do when hardwired with a cable. Weird. Small price to pay for being able to move around and not trip on any cords.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

The comment about cords around your feet hit home. Im even picky enough to clean around my spot on the worship stage I play on. Cords, Mic stands, monitors. Got to move it all every week. Don't know how it's always in the way.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah, it’s such a pet peeve of mine. I just like being able to move around without being tethered, which is why I’m just always wireless

This isn’t really a “traditional” IEM system. If you are looking for high quality, look into an actual IEM system. This is a hack to get by

[@strugs1]

Hi - great video. This is exactly the kind of solution I was looking for, but I have one question. My planned setup is a little different than yours or probably most others, as I do not plan to use my band's mixer as my in ear feed. Mostly because I am only using this for band practice - not gigs. For our practices, the only things that run into the PA are the vocals and keyboards. Guitars, drums and bass are all separate. What I am using currently is a Zoom H2N recorder. I set it up a few feet away from me and it's condenser mic picks up all the instruments and I use its headphone jack output to connect to my Shure ear buds. It works great, but I would like to get rid of the headphone cable by adding the Behringer P1 and the Amoon wireless system to my setup. So my question is - can I simply plug the Amoon 1/4 jack into a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter coming out of the Zoom mic's headphone out? The issue I am worried about is that the headphone out is stereo, whereas the 1/4 jack is obviously mono. Thanks again - your video was great - easy to follow and your solution is very creative and can save people a lot of money.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad you liked the video. To answer your question, yes it would work. I’m not sure how the stereo to mono would work, as sometimes when you do that you will get only the left or right side. You could also use the adapter out of the P1 as well if you wanted to do that. Also at that point, a cable might just be better. But either way, using a 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter should work no problem. 👍 the mono might be the only problem if you have any

[@strugs1]

@@ScottUhlMusic AH ok - so you're saying that if i use the adapter, it might only send a sound signal to either my left or right headphone? Maybe this would be counteracted by using the P2 in mono made....

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I haven’t used the Zoom before this way, so I’m not 100%, but I’m pretty sure you would be ok 👍 There’s always the Amazon returns if it doesn’t work :)

[@MattiHaflert]

Thank for the video! When practicing with the band I can image i'd just insert the wireless receiver in the P.A. But when we play live the distance between stage and FOH might be a few meters. How will this affect the signal? Of should I be able to connect the transmitter somewhere onstage? Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Range always depends on the conditions of the venue. And with cheaper wireless gear you often do get less range. I believe these will be good for 50-100ft in good conditions. So it will depend on the show and the wireless environment at the show. Remember, this is an IEM “hack” to save money. It won’t work in every single scenario. If you need a full on IEM system, you can still get some for pretty cheap now 👍

[@fabricioamansi]

Hi the amnoon transmitter can not be use as a voice in ear? thanks ( for singers)

1) you can, but I don’t recommend using a ton of cheap wireless all at once. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpjaammojpmHd8Usi=m7nhnk-wsvTfgaQD 2) this isn’t really how IEMs are meant to be used, and you can get pretty afffordable stuff now without this hack.

Great video. Im looking for a budget wireless monitoring system to send click track to headphones... Im looking at the BOYA XM6 (Rode Wireless GoII alternative) wireless lavalier system to use as a wireless pack to send my headphones mix to the receiver. But seeing some of your other reviews, maybe I should stay away from 2.4ghz? Hope you can have a look, as its seems like an easy stereo option with the line-in/out option. 5ms claimed latency is also is to consider. Im also just a 1 man band type with the occasional guest musician, so moving far distances is not a priority, Not sure if distance helps the 2.4ghz stability, but im typically never further than 10ft from my setup. Thank you, Just subbed, great content! Cheers

Thanks! I just looked at it, and yeah with it being on 2.4, that’s the worst part. 2.4 does still work, I’ve just had a lot of bad luck with it. So I would suggest looking into this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6qqhIWvibyVnqc It’s actually cheaper 👍 And 5ms of latency is definitely nothing to worry about if you do decide to get the BOYA instead.

Hi, interesting idea! I have a Zoom L-12 digital mixer which has 5 monitor outputs with built in headphone amplifiers, so up to to 5 musicians can have individual in ear monitor mixes. Would it be possible to use a plug and play wireless guitar system to have wireless in ear monitors with my mixer? I could plug the transmitter into the mixer, but how would I plug my in ears into the receiver, since they're both male jack connections?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

This basically can replace anything that can be replaced with a cable. So yeah, it should work if I understand correctly 👍

[@sendalunar2974]

Thank you very much! I have a question. Would you recommend using the headphone out into the wireless transmitter or using the DI out of my amp? Considering I just need to hear myself. Thank you very much!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You’ll need a headphone amp no matter what to adjust the volume. Whatever it’s coming out of. Just always watch your ears, since this is a DIY hack and not a normal IEM setup 👍 Always test it on low low volume first

Hi Scott, great videos and very useful info here on your channel.. Can you recommend an updated option instead of ammoon - 5.8ghz to use it in yhe same combination as a cheap IEM sistem with the Behringer P2? What about the SWIFF AUDIO WS-50 or Lekato ws-70? Thanks in advance.

Yes, either the Swiff Audio or the Lekato ones will work great too. I have a lot of them listed in the description... all of them will work great with this setup. Cheers!

Not sure if anyone mentioned it here yet but Pro Co. offer a similar system to the Xvive in the more stable 5.8 ghz range for a similar price

I have a Headrush Looperboard and want to connect my Looperboard, guitar, and IEM together wirelessly just for practice without disturbing the wife. Is that possible with a single set of Transmitter and Receiver with all the bells and whistles that are provided by the Headrush or would I need 2 sets to make it work? I'm new to all this so sorry for sounding like a noob

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can use this setup for sure to run a direct out of the Looperboard to your headphone amp that your IEM's are connected to (like this video). For sure. If you want the guitar to be wireless as well, you'll need another set of wireless. Cheers!

Hi, thank for this video, it's exactly what i'm trying to do! I already have KZ in ear earbuds, guitar wireless CUCAVE 5.8 (ammoon rebranded). I want to use the "line out" output of my guitare amp (that do not mute the amp speaker) to send signal to this in-ear setup. Does the Powerplay P2 really amplify the signal for this kind of earbuds or is it more a level adjustment that lower the signal? And do you know if the Donner EM1 or EM2 can be used live plugged in a powerbank? Thanks

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I did a comparison video for the Behringer and the Donner one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5qahqRjadxgb6c but yes, the P2 definitely amplifies the signal quite a bit so that shouldn’t be a problem 👍

Hi, thanks for presenting this solution. I'm searching a wireless setup for silently practicing with my electric violin at home, running it through my amp. As non-DIY Setup I thought of a Line6 G10 for violin>amp & Xvive U4 for amp>in-ear, which would end up at ~400$. Line6 G10 only because it's highly recommended in violin forums, since I heard that not all transmitters work that great with piezo pickups, since they got a high impedance. If I instead try this budget solution, could I use 2x ammoon transmitter for violin>amp & amp>in-ear or are there interferences to be expected? Would you recommend these transmitters for piezo pickups?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I do not believe the G10 works with piezo pickups, but I could be wrong. You could go with 2 Ammoon ones. Use the black one for the violin and the red-ish one for the IEM system 👍

Love your work Scott Should I use a different band for in ears to the guitar wireless.? For example 2.4ghz for IEM and 5.8ghz or UHF for guitar.

If you only have 2 wireless going on stage, you should be ok either way... but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to do it that way if you can 👍

[@DespairQuietlyPlease]

Hi Scott Love your channel. Thanks for taking the time. I'm setting up a new home studio. Like you I detest cables so I'd like to go wireless monitoring/recording. I have a decent budget up £1000 ($1500) Input 1 Guitar to amp (wireless) Input 2 Guitar Amp to mixer/interface (wireless) Input 3 Bass to amp/pedal board (wireless) Input 4 Bass amp to mixer/interface (wireless) Input 5 Mic to interface/mixer (wired) Output Mixer/interface to wireless IEM (wireless) So I make that 5 lots of paired units with as close to zero latency as possible. Do you think the setup you mention in this video with the Behringer pack would work or could you recommend another? The idea is to have everything connected permanently to make workflow as straightforward as possible...just pick up, play and monitor with zero sound being emitted beyond the in ears. Thanks again

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I think that should be fine. If you start compounding wireless that’s where you can start getting latency, especially with cheaper ones. I’m assuming bass and guitar amps are separate. Buffer size might be an issue, but I think it would work 👍

[@ianc6741]

Hi, thanks for this. Will there be an interference issue if 3 sets of these are run altogether (1set for Bass player, 1 set for lead guitarist, 1 set for rhythm guitarist)? Thanks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

If you use that many of a cheap wireless system all on the same frequency, it’s possible. Get one on 900mhz, one on 5.8ghz and one in 2.4ghz would be my advice 👍

I'll check on this fornmy band but do you know if those wireless systems can run with multiple receivers so we can have the same mix for more than one band member?

You cannot do that with this system. This is an IEM hack and the wireless cannot send simultaneously to multiple receivers. However, this one is a great price and can do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnuvkK1_Z8mliLM

Hello, thanks a lot for this video. Regarding the wireless device what do you suggest ? Mono or stereo ? Because I use the system with the jack (mono) and I don’t need to pull completely the jack inside the amplifier. If I do that I don’t have a signal in my ears.

Hi Scott. I am very new to this audio game. I have a question. We have a Soundcraft UI24R DIGITAL Mixer that we use at our church. We have the Behringer 1 and 2 that we bought for the preacher's in-ear monitor. The Mike that he uses is wireless. How would we adapt the system using either the Behringer P1 or P2. Could we plug in that transmitter into our P1 OR P2 and somehow have it connected to our Soundcraft UI24R wirelessly?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Are you wanting him to be able to hear his microphone in in ear monitors? Is that what you are using the P2 for? I’ve never used in ear monitors for speaking stuff, but that is possible to do. You just need to send the signal out of an AUX send on whichever digital mixer you are using. I did a video on that here for the behringer x32: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLNd5uhhrmJhpo

[@town944folk]

Thanks for the quick reply Scott. Yes that is correct. He says he cannot hear his voice through the three stage monitors and four speakers we have on stage. He wants to hear his own voice that's correct. He tends to move around when preaching so using a cable from the aux to connect to the Behringer is not ideal

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Ok cool, then yeah you need to use the aux send like I do in that video. It should be very similar on the soundcraft 👍

Thanks Scott. Will let you know how it goes

[@TeamZulueta]

Hi Scott. Thanks for this video. We have a band for our church and currently running P1s with xlr cables for our IEM. If we convert 5 or 6 IEMs with the ammoon wireless rig, will there be any interferance from running 5 of them?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Almost guaranteed yes. Cheap wireless are meant when you use 2-3, maybe 4 wireless at once. You sometimes can get away with 5 or more, but when you start using more wireless, you have to spend money on the nicer ones that can use more at one time.

[@TeamZulueta]

@@ScottUhlMusic thank you for your quick reply. Maybe the interferance will be minimized or eliminated if i extend the output from the mixer with an xlr cable then plugin the female xlr to female 1/4 inch then plug in the transmitter to separate the transmitters. Probably that would work? :)

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Man, any hack CAN work. But with cheap wireless, the more wireless you run at once the less of a chance that they will work. You won’t know unless you try, but IMO that’s too many cheap wireless on stage

I would look into these. They are pretty affordable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnuvkK1_Z8mliLM And use this trick of one transmitter and 2 receivers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2ino6Cgo5upqbM

Thank you for your input. We already have bought a setup for wired IEMs. Probably will just get the vocalists for this setup. Thanks again!

[@fafajeymz7202]

But you've got a mono signal?.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yes, my personal wireless in ear monitor hack system is mono. I give you options on cheaper stereo wired option in the video however. Keep in mind this is an IEM “hack” video to save money. Meaning you will have to make sacrifices on certain things in order to save money (such as only the option of mono). If you want a solid wireless IEM system that’s in stereo, look into the Sennheiser Ew300 series or the Shure PSM 300. If you want to go really cheap, Galaxy Audio makes some cheap ones as well, but I can’t vouch for them as I haven’t used them.

[@drewbehringer]

@@ScottUhlMusic So I’ve been trying this same thing running out of the headphone jack of my Boss RC-300 but I can only get sound out of my left earphones. Since the Ammoon only sends a mono signal, is this the only option, or can I get it to come out of both earphones?

[@shanedutoit9101]

Bought the P2 on your recommendation and it works nicely, so thanks very much for that. Was looking for an affordable solution to very annoyiong cable problems. I already had a 2.4Ghz Getaria for my bass so though I would try it with that before buying another for the IEM's. Has a little bit of static noise or interference so I will be purchasing a more expensive 5Ghz set to hopefully sort that problem out. Sidenote, I ony have a couple of phones/tablets in my studio using wifi, other than that there are no wireless signals in the room at the same time.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

5.8 should be better, but… just remember this stuff is cheap for a reason, and this is a DIY hack for and IEM system. It works for sure, and I’ve giggled with it… but if you want a really good one, you’ll need to spend the money.
