IEM-STEREO Wired In Ear Monitoring System Manual

 

QUICK START GUIDE

 

  1. Insert 9V battery into the battery compartment or power using 9VDC 100mA adapter.The battery life indicator LEDs indicate how much battery is left.
    - Green = Above 50%
    - Red = Below 50%.
  2. Plug in XLR cables from the output of your sound board to the XLR inputs on your IEM-STEREO unit. You can choose to plug into just the left XLR input for a mono mix, or plug into both the left and right XLR inputs for a stereo mix. Alternatively you can plug into both XLR inputs for mono-mix mode, to control two different mixes.
  3. Select Mono or Stereo Input using the MODE switch located on the top of the unit.
    - Stereo Mode: Adjusts the balance between the left and right Channels.
    - Mono-Mix Mode: Adjusts the volume ratio between the left and right channels.
    Mode Switch.
    - In Stereo Mode: The systems sends the left input to the left headphone, and the right input to the right headphone. In Mona-Mix Mode: The left and right inputs are mixed and output to both headphones.
  4. The "pan" control will adjust the volume ratio between the channels.
  5. Plug in your favorite in ear monitor earbuds or headphones to the headphone jack.
    - Tip= Left Signal
    - Ring= Right Signal
    - Sleeve= Ground.
  6. Volume Control adjusts the level of the headphone output.
  7. Once all connections have been made, make sure your to remove IEM buds or headphones from your ears and power on using the power button located on the bottom of the unit.

 

STEREO MODE

Depress the mode button for stereo selection on your IEM system. Connect two XLR cables between your IEM system and the mixbus or auxiliary of your sound board. This will send the Left and Right input signals to their corresponding headphone output channels. In Stereo Mode the pan control will adjust the stereo balance.

 

MONO MODE

Press the mode button down for mono selection on your IEM system. When connecting to a mono source, you can connect to either the Left or the Right input. With the mono mode active, the pan control should be turned to the corresponding side (i.e. if your source is connected to the Left input, turn the pan control all the way to the Left side).This will send the signal equally to both headphone channels.

 

MONO - MIX MODE

Mono Mode can also be used as an easy way to create a custom monitor mix such as having the band in one channel and your instrument in another. To setup Mono-Mix Mode, press the mode button down, for mono mode selection. Then connect the mix of the band to the left input on your IEM-STEREO and connect the direct output of your channel/instrument to the right. Now the pan control will attenuate the level of either the band mix or your own channel by moving it to the right or left

 



 

 


Frequently Asked Questions

• A 9VDC 100mA power adapter
What's the difference between Stereo and Mono-Mix modes?
Stereo Mode: Sends left/right inputs to corresponding headphone channels, pan control adjusts stereo balance
Mono-Mix Mode: Lets you blend two different sources (like band mix + your instrument) using the pan control
Can I use just one input for monitoring?

What's the headphone output configuration?
The 1/4" TRS headphone jack uses standard wiring:
• Tip = Left Signal
• Ring = Right Signal
• Sleeve = Ground
How do I set up a custom mix with my instrument separate from the band?

1. Connect band mix to left input
2. Connect your instrument to right input
3. Use pan control to balance between band and your instrument
How do I know if I should use Stereo or Mono mode?
• Use Stereo Mode if you want true stereo monitoring from a stereo source
• Use Mono Mode for a single source sent equally to both ears
• Use Mono-Mix Mode to blend two different mono sources (like band + instrument)
