    in-ear monitors

    Now I know that this is not strictly a topic that belongs on a "home recording' forum, but I will bring it up anyway. In-ear monitoring at live concerts - does anyone know of any cheap systems that are capable of handling 5 musicians listening at once? The band I engineer currently do not have...
