ASI Audio 3DME In-Ear Monitor

Description

Step into the future of stage monitoring with the all-new 3DME Gen 2. This groundbreaking in-ear system revolutionises your on-stage sound like never before.

Immerse yourself in the ambience of the venue with the 3DME’s one-of-a-kind built-in microphones. These clever mics capture the natural reverb and audience energy, blending it seamlessly into your monitor mix for a vibrant, spacious sound.

The 3DME App unlocks a world of customisation at your fingertips. Override sound techs and shape your own sound with the monitor bypass, while still accessing vital processing like the smooth limiter and intuitive 7-band EQ.

Gen 2 enhances the 3DME experience. Squealing feedback won’t pierce your ears on startup thanks to the new suppressor, and a single charge fuels a marathon 8-hour performance. The improved CROS mode also opens up monitoring for single-sided deafness.

On the road or on stage, the 3DME Gen 2 takes in-ear monitoring into uncharted territory. Plug in to feel the vibrant ambience around you, shape your precise mix, and enjoy the freedom of all-night monitoring power. The future of IEMs is here.

3DME Gen 2: What’s new

NEW Monitor Processing Bypass Option

The Monitor input signal now bypasses both the EQ and the limiter when enabled. A-list Front of House Engineers asked, and we listened. Now you can control the in-ear monitor audio exclusive of the 3DME App control.

NEW and Improved CROS Function

CROS connection will remove sound entirely from the disfavored ear, instead of just taking the microphone signal across and leaving the disfavored ear with its regular signal; important for those with a problem like Meniere’s Disease, where sound is distorted and uncomfortable in one ear, not just weak.

NEW Start-Up Squeal Suppressor Protects from Feedback

On/Off switch on options page and default set to Off. This is to give the option for anyone who experiences minor feedback if they have the body pack turned on before inserting the earpieces into their ears. Very rarely, a quiet, unharmful feedback squeal can be heard if the end user has their finger covering the ambient microphone when inserting the earpiece.

NEW Limiter Threshold Expansion, Now Starts at 76 dB-SPL – 104 dB-SPL

A-list Monitor Engineers and FOH engineers asked for an expanded Limiter Threshold – once again, we listened. Now the Lowest Limiter Threshold setting starts at 76 dB-SPL, which may be useful for some people with especially sensitive hearing or for related uses.

NEW Improved Rechargeable Battery Life

Now optimised for 8-hour performance use on one single charge
