The sound will come from your mixer wirelessly to the receivers (normally worn on the belt), and from there to the musician’s IEMs or earphones.

The transmitter with the Xvive U4R4 set is surprisingly small and has a 90 ft range. With 5 hours of battery life, you are ready for your set with these in-ears.

Why Buy IEMs?

In-ear monitors or IEMs are a great investment for any solo act or band, especially those who perform in lively or loud environments, such as anyone performing outdoors, wedding bands, rock bands, etc.

Having a direct mix directly into your ears helps you to play in time with other musicians, at the correct volume, and also to really focus on the music you play, without distractions.

Which IEMs to Buy?

You should balance this purchase with your budget, how many receivers you need, and how feature-rich you need your IEM system to be. For example, do you need a stereo signal for your act, or for all the musicians in your band?

If Mono is okay for you, or you only need one or two receivers, (you can always add more later), then a budget set is all you need.

Remember, the audio will only be as good as the transmitter and receiver you have, plus the quality of the IEMs (earphones) you are using.

Conclusion

Having IEMs on stage is a real game changer for musicians when performing live (especially for drummers and singers), and if you are running a band with frequent gigs, it is an excellent investment.

Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy your upcoming gigs with your new IEMs!
