In-ear monitoring systems have made a major impact in the way live music is presented. Custom–fit IEMs are the preferred choice, yet off-the-shelf universal-fit models are an ideal solution when unexpected guest players show up, or performers leave their customs on a plane, hotel room/etc. Besides being less costly, universals are a great backup option in case the artist’s custom version gets run over by a forklift. We decided to look at some current offerings in universal-fit earpieces that will be displayed at this month’s NAMM Show. URLs are provided should you require more information.
