I normally have a rule about just buying gear that I like and not buying gear for a particular project and once again I have proven to myself why I should stick to that rule. ๐ In summer 2024 my main band decided to go entirely IEM. In autumn 2024 I was fired by that very band. In that time I did somewhere between 5-10 gigs with it. As such, my over ยฃ1000 of IEM rack has sat unused for the past year. I have held on to it for a while now but none of my current bands show any interest in going IEM and to be honest I have a hearing defect in one ear caused by a botched surgery when I was a kid that makes wearing headphones a little uncomfortable so that suits me just fine. I don't do things by halves and I put a lot of research into this before I bought it. Obviously you can spend car or even house money on the kinds of IEM systems that the pros use on big tours and this isn't that, but then it's not some budget Aliexpress dongle either. Think RCF pa speakers that sit in the goldilocks zone between Mackie and L'Acoustics. It's a nice prosumer system that works exceptionally well in a very neat 2u rack. I do have some IEMs but they are not the kind of thing that I would be comfortable selling (and expecially buying) second hand because they have been inside of me. For the record I was using this system with the very decent Shure SE215 but it's a standard output that will work pretty much anything out there. As it stands this is a stereo system so youi can have different mixes in each ear, but it can also be run mono. Anyone who has ever seen my gear will tell you that I am super-annoying with organisation and neatness. This rack has strain relief buit into the cables, everything is cable tied down to the shelf. The input loom coils up into the back of the rack. The power cables are tidied away. You get to a gig, take the lids of the rack, plug it into the wall and plug it into the mixer. 60 seconds, tops. When you do it will light up and you'll have a few spare sockets to plug the rest of your stuff into.
Please note this is not the (c. ยฃ500 new) 'EW 100' series, this is the full-fat 'EW' series.
I'm selling the whole rack as a complete system for ยฃ650. If you wanted just the IEM system (transmitter, receiver, power supply and rack ears) with none of the accessories that would be ยฃ550. I would however encourage anyone new to IEM to go for the whole system as if you do that then it's a turn key solution with all of the hard work done for you. Add headphones of your choice and go. Even if you're not in a brightly lit pop punk band and you turn the light bars off!
