I mentioned the Aviom system since I was vaguely familiar with it from my days playing in the church band/orchestra. Thanks for the correction of the name.... I was one letter off.


Due to the number of individual musicians playing, they really needed to expand it but didn't want to spend the money.

I think such a system would likely work well in a studio environment and have seen a few cases of it being used on stages with traveling bands.

I'm a big proponent of controlling the stage volume and using wedges.

I think the big advantage of the in ear isolation monitoring is ...well 2 things actually.....

1. controllable volume levels to prevent hearing damage
2. no latency from the actual physical distance involved with big "made for TV" stages. At 20 feet from the sound source the delay becomes noticeable. At 50 feet, it's a killer to try to stay in time. At 100 feet, no-way. In ear solves that.
