blog.rfvenue.com: Bar none, in-ear monitoring is the most temperamental component of a wireless audio rig. Countless times, we’ve heard customers say, “our wireless microphones and intercoms operate great, but our in-ears drop out all the time.”
We reached out to four of the best, and we do mean the very best, monitor engineers in the live sound industry and asked them why IEMs fail, and how to make them work.

This article shares a lot of valid points when it comes to IEMs. Although the technology has improved dramatically over the years there are still many kinks that have yet to be ironed out before it is a standard protocol. Before this summer I had never even seen this technology in the entertainment field, but I was working on an event and one of the forms of communication was IEMs. Before that, I had only seen in the movies and on FBI agents. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bluetooth technology continued to improve and that became the method of connection. I recently got a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the range that they have allows me up to 100 feet. Now imagine if you had repeaters around the theater space and could have a wireless monitor anywhere you walked. I think this technology has a long way to go before it comes to the norm but judging by the improvements shown in this article it leads me to believe they are not far off.
