In Episode 282, Sean and Andy pick up where they left off last time, answering some follow-up questions they’ve received on gain staging for monitor mixes, other tips and tricks for clean and clear in-ear monitors, as well as how to make the most “bang for your buck” improvements to wireless microphones and monitors. This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.

If you’re going to the NAMM, be sure to find Sean and Andy and say hi! More events will be announced on the Discord and Facebook groups as it gets closer, but if you’re there on Saturday, January 25, they’ll be doing a meet-and-greet and helping give away a CQ mixer at Allen & Heath’s booth at 11 am Pacific!
