What is the Ambient Option and Do I Need it?
When some people start using In-Ear Monitors they worry about feeling isolated from the audience. Some people think they can even try using only 1 in-ear. This is a bad idea. A very bad idea. I understand that you don’t want to be cut off from the audience and I understand that in-ears sometimes have a reputation for making an artist feel isolated. But let’s just say that your fears are based more on a myth rather than a reality. It is true that in-ears will block -26db of ambient noise, but that’s far from going into an isolation chamber. And there are still plenty of ways to get ambient sound into your mix.
Ambient Sounds When On Stage
In all honesty, your stage setup will generally have enough bleed from the mics on stage to pick up the audience and stage noise. You’ll still hear your fans singing back to you and you’ll still be able to play off of their energy. But if that’s not enough, many engineers use at least 2 or 3 audience mics that are blended into the in-ear mix. Since musicians tend to move around, good engineers will pan those in stereo as left, center and right so you can tell where the audience is in relation to your stage position. Another trick is to turn those audience mics up between songs to give you more interaction with the audience. As an aside, it is important to turn them back down during the song in order to clean up the mix. Too much ambient noise can muddy up the mix make it get a bit lost.
Ultimate Ears Ambient Sound Option
If that’s still not enough, you can order any of your in-ears to come with the built-in ambient feature. This is basically a controlled hole in the shell of the in-ear that allows the user to adjust how much ambient bleed they want to hear. If the hole is fully plugged, the in-ears operate normally. If you want it open, you can remove the plug and the stage noise and crowd noise will reach your eardrum through a -12db filter along with the critical in-ear mix.
