Another In-Ear monitor question from newbie T_T

[dydwlsxod]

Hi there !
I hope everyone is doing well
I have a in-ear monitor system question (again...) and forgive me for absent of my knowledge of them (tears)
Our church has a worship band of
worship leader playing acoustic guitar
2 female singers
2 male singers
first and second electric guitar players
1 bass player
1 drum player
first and second piano player.
and unfortunately our stage is pretty small for all of us with wedge monitors.
So we decided to get in-ear monitors for singers XD YAY!
So we need to set up 5 in-ear monitors with minimum budget...
So I think wireless is out of our option (tears)
Can anyone recommend wired in-ear monitors for singers?
or any alternatives?
Thank in advance !

How about starting with a hybrid approach? Start with the band on IEM and use wedges for the vocalists:

We will probably start with this approach due to cost, if nothing else. We can put off expensive wirless gear for the vocalists (or watching a few of them trip with wired solutions ) until later.

For a wired in-ear system you would feed the Aux output you are currently sending to the wedge amp to a headphone amp, something like THIS would work very nicely. But for less $, THIS would work. It shoud be on stage near the people who are going to be listenting to it so that they can adjust the volume, etc. Each headphone amp would provide the same mix to the number of outputs it has.

Then you would get some cables of the needed length with 1/4" stereo plug on one end and 3.5mm jacks on the other end. You can chose from the 100's of in-ear headsets available or ask people to bring their own. Plan to spend a minimum of $100 for the worst level in-ears you would want to use.

Wired isn't bad if the people using them do not move around much.

That's what we're doing and it's mostly working. We've got different mixes going back to 6 headphone monitors. the main problem is to tweak the mix, we have to change in on the soundboard.

We really need to get a tablet and get Air Fader working for us, so they can adjust thier own mixes.
