Like wedge-based monitoring, each in-ear mix is very personal, but unlike with wedges, the only way to hear something is if it’s sent to that mix. Stereo generally works better than mono. By leaving the listener’s inputs centered and panning other vocals or instruments, it’s easier to hear all the elements of the mix at a lower volume and this is crucial to hearing conservation over time. This is easily demonstrated by listening to a track in mono and then…

Building a floor monitor wedge is something that many of us attempt (or at least want to attempt) at one time or another. There is great satisfaction in designing and building a wedge. I design loudspeakers for a company, but really enjoy taking other manufacturer’s boxes apart to examine the inner construction and see how they actually put glue to wood to make the design work. Even though some wedges are surprisingly simple in design and work just fine, other…
