I’ve been using the Shure PSM 400 in-ear monitor system for a few months now and love it compared with the traditional floor wedge system.

The Pros:

• No more destructive levels chipping away at your hearing. Comfortable monitor levels are fed directly into your ear while the surrounding noise is isolated.
• When using MixMode you can send a main mix AND your own level to the body pack. Then by using the pan knob you can adjust your level in relation to the mix for accurate monitoring the way YOU want it
• While playing out with the band setup is effortless compared with traditional monitors. Simply plug the transmitter into the appropriate sends (and/or direct out depending on config) and you’re ready to go!

The Cons:

• The only real complaint I have is that every now and then you’ll get a real quick cut in the audio feed. It has never affected my playing because it happens so quickly but it can be distracting
