Hear
Back | Personal Monitor Mixer System
Hear Technologies
has designed a new personal monitor mixer system called the
Hear Back. It changes the way monitor mixing is accomplished
on stage or auditorium; as well as, in the studio. Imagine getting
your mix exactly the way you want it. With the Hear Back, you
save time and get the sound just right, the first time. This
affordable system is perfect for headphones, wired and wireless
in-ear monitors, and/or conventional floor monitors.
A basic Hear Back system consists of a Hub and personal Mixers
connected using standard CAT5E cables. A single Hub supplies
signal and power to a maximum of eight Mixers. That’s
one for you and everybody in the band. If that’s not enough,
the Hubs can be daisy-chained using the HearBus In and Out for
virtually unlimited system size. The Hear Back Hub can accept
analog input signals from audio mixers, auxiliary, matrix, monitor,
and/or direct outputs.
The
ADAT input can come from digital audio workstations, digital
recorders, or digital mixers. For front of house or remotely
located digital mixers, we also have the Extreme Extender
ADAT In/Out that converts ADAT optical, which has very limited
distance, to the HearBus for transmission of up to 500 feet.

Hear
Back Applications:
Hear Back is perfect for onstage or in the studio. With this
Personal Monitor Mixer System, each performer is assured a perfect
mix with every performance. With fast and easy set up, Hear
Back offers expandable and inexpensive solutions to control
your mix. With the use of wired or wireless ear monitors, you
can achieve better sound quality at much lower volumes. Even
with loudspeakers, a superior monitor mix leads to a quieter
mix onstage, allowing the engineer to create a better front
of house mix.
Hear Back
gives the talent control over their cue mix allowing them
to get exactly the mix they want while the engineer spends
time engineering the session. The Hear Back has been installed
in many professional studios in America, Australia and Germany.
