Musicians – Why Do I Need "Live-Sound" Monitors?
Interact With The Audience & Fellow Musicians Without Taking Off The Monitors
Whether you're on stage or in the studio, when the music stops, you can hear the audience or your partners directly, interact and communicate with them without having to take off your in-ear monitors.
Return To The Live Ensemble Of The Band
In-ear monitoring monitors are great for suppressing noise and allowing you to hear the exact mix you want. But it can also isolate you from the rest of the band, becoming isolated and obsessed with "your mix." Live sound monitors allow you to bring the ambient into the mix and get back to the live ensemble of the band.
Avoid Hearing Damage
In-ear monitoring monitors protect your hearing by preventing too much stage sound from entering your ears. Sometimes, to hear the live sound, some performers wear only one in-ear monitor on stage. The Live-Sound filter brings the live sound into the monitor, allowing you to choose whether you want to listen to just the mix, or the mix plus the live sound, avoiding the situation where you have one ear unprotected.
Maintain Music Quality
Whether it's a universal or custom in-ear monitor, the music's low-frequency response is significantly reduced if it doesn't have a good seal. The Live-Sound filter is specially designed to maintain frequency integrity. It provides you with live sound reduced by precisely 17dB, and it also keeps the monitors' low-frequency response intact to produce the best music quality. This makes the ACS Live-Sound Series ideal for live performances on stage.
Reduce Wear & Tear On The Monitors
If you can't hear your surroundings or other musicians clearly, you will have to remove one ear's monitor. Then you have to put it back on to protect your hearing and monitor your mix. This is tedious and causes a lot of wear and tear on the cable and the monitors. If you use Live-Sound monitors, you can hear everything clearly by simply lowering the volume or unplugging, and you'll be able to hear everything.
Hear Your Own Natural Acoustic Voice
Wearing in-ear monitors that completely block your ear canal gives you low noise interference when listening to music, but it also makes your voice rumble in your head (this is called the occlusion effect). The Live-Sound filters have a unique two-way conduction feature that allows this sound to escape from your ear canal, eliminating the blockage, so when you speak or sing, you can instantly hear your natural voice.
Reducing Fatigue and Increase Comfort
In-ear monitors completely seal your ear canal, allowing you to listen to music unaffected by outside noise. Inside a sealed ear canal, these air vibrations can exert excessive pressure on your eardrums, which can cause fatigue and discomfort. The Live-Sound filter relieves this pressure, reducing the strain on your eardrums and making you more comfortable during a rehearsal or live performance.
Non-Musicians – Why Do I Need "Live-Sound" Monitors?
Listen To The Same Music As The Musicians Do
Music lovers who want to listen to the same high-fidelity music as their favorite musicians do. Since the live monitoring earphones were initially developed for professional musicians and performing artists, they are ideal for music lovers.
The sound from the Live-Sound monitors gives you the relaxed feeling of listening to music in an open-air environment. Compared to the ACS Classic series, the bass is more expansive, while the midrange recedes a bit but still has the same inviting, rich, warm vocals. Also, the high-frequencies have good detail and a transparent soundstage.
Stay Safe Exercising
If you like to jog around city streets listening to music. Wearing Live-Sound Monitors, you can turn up the volume of the music just loud enough to block out ambient sounds. That way, when surrounding sounds suddenly become louder (such as a car horn), you'll be able to hear them and stay out of harm's way.
Stay Aware Of Your Surroundings
Many people enjoy listening to music at work; unfortunately, wearing a proper in-ear monitor will isolate you from the sounds of your surroundings and leave you completely disconnected from your environment.
With a Live-Sound monitor, you can adjust the volume of the music to blend in with the ambient sound, allowing you to listen to the music while maintaining an awareness of your surroundings. For example, you can hear the phone ringing or the sound of someone calling your name. That way, you won't miss important calls, and you can respond immediately when your boss calls you.
