Got me wireless equipment. MEI1000 in a handy carry case too. Easy enough to set up. Sound qulity is excellent, Took a while to find the frequency and mono modes but, Its great so far for rehearsing with and you dont have to turn it down becuase of neighbour concerns. The range is fantastic, I was way outside the back yard with the unit in my front room and I didn't loose anything.
One big drawback, the in-ear sleaves are very uncomfortable. My ear canal is very very narrow and I will probably have to get a custom made sleave. Apart from that I'm looking forward to using it at the gig this weekend and my fellow partner can try his too.
Will let you know how it goes.

Hi
There was a post in Chit-Chat June 2009 about IEMs which is worth re-visiting.

Guys,
I got me wireless in-ear monitor and I have to say I'm very impressed. The range is superb I was getting over 30 yards, easy to set up and very neat.
Couple of drawbacks
The ear plugs are very uncomfortable, I have very narrow ear canals and so I'm probably going to have to get custom plugs.
Batterys in receiver dont last too long, I know I was testing/playing around with it alot (about 2-3 hours left on), but I had to replace the batteries before doing a 2.5 hour gig.
Otherwise I'm happy with the purchase.

Bit of a bummer alreight, batteries came with the unit so I'm not sure how much power was in them. Alos was using the kit at full capacity, i.e full vol, power so again will need to tune this a bit. It can use re-chargables I'm sure. I'll see how long this set last for - Duracell that goes on and on and on.. so they say. and then come back to ye.

batteries at gigs can lead to difficulties id caught unprepared.
Is there no way you can get an extended life [battery] pack, something that can be attached to a belt for example?

Well, such extension packs are used by video cameramen [and women] all over the world. Essentially what they do is extend the life of any battery powered unit, video camera, or anything that runs on batteries that might be too far away from a wall socket. They are simple devices consisting of additional batteries in a handy holdall, which is usually strapped to one's waist or jacket.
I was just wondering if such a contraption might also be adaptable to work with wireless ear monitors. If it did, then a smaller, more discrete unit would do.

Some just call it a battery pack I imagine. Maybe extension pack is the more professional term for it? And you're quite right of course, Pat. My little CD (mp3) player from Sony has one that takes 2 AA cells in addition to the 2 "bubblegum" flat internal batteries. Yea, I know, things have moved on from CD mp3 players. And so does my mini-disc player. So it's reasonable to expect that a wireless receiver or transmitter, especially the latter, might allow for one. Just my 2d as usual,  JohnG. |

John, you're right [as usual ;d ], it is a battery pack. I have been calling them extension pack for donkey years but battery packs is the proper name  |

What a relief, I was thinking of a 50meter extension lead with a 9volt transformer hanging from your belt !!!

Haha....my use of "extension" was in extending the life of the unit needing power. Pure logic, really |
