Finally! There is now a digital signal processor that has been designed specifically for in ear monitor applications. New from dbx Professional Products, comes the IEM, In-Ear-Monitor Processor which is the ideal tool for fine-tuning mix monitoring for In-Ear monitoring devices. Not only does the IEM provide the legendary dbx effects in the digital domain, such as 4-band stereo compression, PeakStop? limiting and 5-band parametric EQ, but the IEM also includes stereo adjust, dbx proprietary Type IV? conversion system, and for good measure, we have even raised the playing field by including custom reverb algorithms using the industry standard Lexicon? technology. The IEM from dbx Professional Products is a unit that is certain to take In-Ear Monitor processing to the next level.

From the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more than 25 years, dbx? Professional Products now offers a bulletproof product that caters to the scrutinizing needs of performers who utilize In-Ear Monitorin devices.

The IEM was designed with the simple purpose and vision of enhancing the sonic quality of all In-Ear monitor applications, while providing the necessary audio level protection that artists and engineers require. The design team at dbx has achieved this vision by building a unit that offers effects including: 4-band stereo compressor with gating and limiting, 5-Band Parametric EQ, PeakStop? limiting, Stereo adjust and Lexicon? reverbs. In addition to methodically designing a utilitarian unit that includes an intuitive user front panel which provides instant access to all effects within the IEM at the push of a button, as well as a large custom display which clearly shows all operational information of the unit in a logical manner.
