Transitioning from floor monitors to in-ear monitors (IEMs) requires some adjustments: 1. Musicians need to find the right fitting IEMs, either custom-made or using memory foam buds, to ensure they stay in place during a performance. 2. Learning how to mix their own sound will allow musicians to prioritize the sounds they need to hear and remove unnecessary noise that could damage their hearing. 3. It is recommended to always wear both IEM earpieces to allow the ears to adjust properly to the mix volume and prevent interference during a performance.

DJ Rama. For those who have a budget, getting a custom-made pair will ensure that their monitors will t
their ears nicely even as they move around the stage. But for those who can't get these pairs, nding
monitors that have the right weight and customizing these with memory foam buds can also be a good
alternative. Before buying a pair, it would be good to test the t and the feel to make sure that the
earpieces won't fall in the middle of a performance.
Learn how to mix.
DJ Rama. Musicians and vocalists have different preferences when it comes to what they want to hear on
their feed. IEMs are also bene cial when it comes to removing unnecessary noise, which can eventually
damage hearing. To make the most out of these monitors, technicians can teach people on stage to do
their own mix, especially for big teams. This will allow them to hear themselves well and to prioritize the
other sounds they nd useful for their work.

Always wear both ears.

mix or because they want to hear the crowd. While this can be bene cial for a few minutes, experts
recommend wearing both earpieces when performing to allow the ears to get comfortable to the right mix
volume. DJ Rama.
