I've used a bunch of wireless setups over the past 30ish years. Really happy with my current kit. Basically all Cloudvocal - the Prime wireless mic and the new Eversync wireless IEM kit.
First gig with the EverSync was a private party in a museum a couple of weeks ago. 200+ guests.
I'm definitely going with IEMs from this point forward.
Used it on a test run at rehearsal earlier in the week. Just ran my Prime mic directly to the EverSync IEM box and it worked just fine.
For the gig we had a great sound tech. The other horn player/vocalist had IEMs as did the bass player and me. Both of our go-to sound techs are trying to get the rest of the band to go IEMs. I hope eventually they do. It's nice to not have floor wedges all over the stage and the overall sound imo is better when everyone has their own mix via IEMs.
The tech set up two mics to give us the band mix and then gave us what we wanted in our individual mixes.
I asked for vocals, the other sax and keys for my mix along with the stage mic ambient audio.
Worked a treat. Used the system with my own 64 Audio CIEMs.
Was really nice to be able to hear myself so cleanly. I think once I get used to them it'll get even better.
Very happy with the end results.
What a change from the days when I used to haul around a 12 space rack on wheels with wireless receiver, preamp, EQ, power conditioner, and a nice Lexicon LXP-15 processor.
Now I can just run the Prime with EQ and effects and now have wireless monitoring with EverSync.
One of the really nice things about the Cloudvocal gear is that I run both the Prime receiver with effects/eq and the EverSync transmitter via usb power bank. No need to plug in to a power outlet. I also run my iPad from the same power bank.
Setup is a breeze. Sounds great. Light and easy to transport. You have control over your gain/eq/efx and IEM volume right where you stand.
For more casual gigs we don't hire a sound guy and our mixers can be controlled from iPads (both the guitarist and I have QSC Touchmix units).
Yeah baby!
Earlier in the thread someone mentioned playing through your own PA. I have a pair of Mackie SRM Flex column PAs. They are fine for small venues but for a room of 100+ I don't think they have enough juice - particularly on the bottom end.
Luckily my guitar player now has a pair of amazing QSC KC12 column array speakers. They can flat out rock a big room.
A side benefit if the column style PAs - they reject feedback much better than regular cabinet speaker/monitors.
