I use this as an in-ear amp at band rehearsals and it does the job just fine as the actual sounds depend on a multitude of other equipment, so it's hard to really weigh in on that.

Just to have it in their backpack with a cheap set of in ears (for example KZ ES4), if the venue is too noisy/loud/not enough monitors/not working monitors - you can save your day for a ±50eur and hear everything loud and clear.When I connect the PM1 to the 1/4" balanced aux send on my mixer (using 1/4" TSR to XLR cable) I only get sound out of the left headphone. Every part of the PM1 is designed to withstand the rigors of the road, from the smooth volume pot to the overbuilt metal chassis and belt clip.

The one thing that does let this unit down slightly though is the battery compartment, it's very small, so small in fact that once you put a standard 9v battery in the unit, it's very difficult to take it back out again tho change it.

Mackie DL32R stereo IEM feeds a Presonus HP60 headphone amp which feeds back to performers via individual stage snakes. This allows you to achieve the desired stereo image and tailor the monitoring experience to your preferences. Music Tribe with respect to the Software shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Music Tribe. Use as a belt-mounted volume control connected to a headphone amp/output, if you're using this on stage. You will have to crank the gain sends, you will lose a bit of clarity, but as a backup set or even for those who just want a quick and easy solution they do the job.
