Wireless In-Ear Systems

Hey all. Thanks for all your input on my other questions. They are a lot of help. Got another for you...

My pastor wants me to look into wireless in ear monitors. We are looking at getting ideas for about 5 people (Leader plus up to four vocalists). Planning on using with Aviom.

Has anybody tried the Galaxy Audio AS-1100 or AS-1500 monitors? What are your suggestions?

As for the budget, it is up in the air, but the less expensive the better. Our vocalists will be within 50' of the transmitter.

PS - What are some good dealers that you recommend?

The answer will be pivotal on the following:
1: what other wireless devices are present
2: what are their frequencies
3: how congested is the RF environment in your area?

I personally have used the Nady (noisy), Shure PSM200, PSM400, Sennheiser, AKG and MiPro.
MiPro gets my vote for cost/performance.
I have not yet tried the Audio-Technica M2 or M3.

CMChamp,

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. Currently, we have 1 old Shure wireless mic (like a P-88 or something like that) and we have 1 Shure ULX system.

2. Not sure on the old system, but the ULX is either556.375 or 663.025 (Group 1, channel 1, not sure on the band)

3. Congestion, I have no idea. Shure's website says that we have 2 tv stations a few miles away in the sub 500 MHz range (476-482 and 494-500).

Thanks again.

I used the Sennheiser Frequency Finder, you've got quite a bit of open DTV space presently, but who knows what may or may not transpire when White Space broadband devices go on line.
So, you're not using a lot of wireless devices there at North Avenue in Toluck.
Your desire to go with wireless IEM's is for freedom of movement, I take it?
Did I understand correctly that each vocalist has their own Aviom mixer and you're wanting each to have their own wireless IEM?

Well, we do not have Aviom yet, but that is the plan for each member to have one. My pastor's vision is to have them spread across the stage. I already have the prices for the Aviom, now I am just looking for in-ear.

I honestly don't use wireless unless there is no way around it. You will find the Galaxy Audio wireless systems to be quite lacking. I don't even bother to use anything less than Shure's PSM600 or Sennheiser's 300 series. Of course when you use either one of these with an Aviom system you are going to end up with a really high noise floor. A realistic budget for decent Wireless systems for IEM's is about 800-1000 a piece.

Thanks

Thanks for you input. I am still learning terminology, what do you mean by high noise floor? Thanks.

Noise floor is basically the sound you don't want, usually hiss. If that sound gets up to -40 dBu then you will probably hear it competing with your signal especially if it is a highly dynamic signal. The lower you can get the noise floor the greater your useful dynamic range will be.
