Re: Canford Headphone Limiter (In Ear Monitoring revisited)

[Dan Ash <Daniel.Ash@Verizon.net>]

I'm another skeptic of in-ear monitors - so I don't speak from 
experience here...  I would point out that compressors in general, if 
improperly used, are prime feedback offenders.

I don't care for headphones much either, but they've got to be much more 
easily removed in the event of feedback.

Maybe a 2-stage expander->limiter would provide a predictable level in 
an in-ear system.

Hi Buzap,

I think that the most sensible solution is to have a built-in limiter on 
the bodypack. I think that a lot of them actually do have that feature.

For instance even the most basic Shure wireless bodypack model has a 
limiter:
