In-Ear Monitor System
Provides personalized mixes to performers using earpieces. Typical settings may include individual volume controls and mix balances.
Floor Wedge Monitor
Loudspeaker placed on stage directed towards performers. Typical settings might include EQ adjustments to avoid feedback and match the acoustics of the stage.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
Enhances and manipulates audio signals. Typical settings could be compressors, limiters, or reverb levels to ensure clarity and prevent peaks.
Ambient Microphones
Captures crowd and room sound for the performers' monitors. Typical settings might involve placement and volume levels to create a natural listening experience.
Monitor Mix Engineer

Feedback Suppression
Reduces or eliminates the howling sound of feedback. Typical methods include notch filters, sound check procedures, and monitor placement adjustments.
Power Amplifier
Boosts the low-level audio signal to a level suitable for loudspeakers. Typical settings include gain adjustments and sometimes built-in DSP.
Wireless Frequency Coordination
Ensures reliable wireless transmission. Typical settings include selecting clear frequencies and setting appropriate squelch levels to avoid interference.
Side Fill Speakers
Provide a wider sound coverage on stage for performers. Typical settings involve alignment with main monitors and level adjustments to blend with the stage mix.
Cue System
Allows performers to communicate and receive cues without audience awareness. Typical settings include discrete channels and volume adjustments.
Ambience Processing
Enhances or creates a sense of space in the monitor mix. Typical settings include adjusting reverb time and level to match the natural room.
