the t.bone IEM 100-R - 863 Mhz

I've had one of these for a few years and gigged with it many times. It's hard to criticise these when they work so well and cost so little compared with other brands.

It is easy to use. I tend to clip it onto the pocket of my jeans where it feels secure and is easy to get at. It's compact but not fiddly. Changing channels is easy if you have to. I run mine with rechargeable batteries but I always make sure they are freshly charged before a gig and have some spare single-use batteries with me just in case.

The sound is OK , even through the supplied earphones though I use mine with a cheap pair of Sennheisers instead, but I still use the t.bone ones for something else. The only problem is occasionally the sound can drop out for a second. It's alarming the first few times it happens but you can get used to it. I don't know why it happens; maybe it is when the batteries are starting to go flat or when they are being used at the limits of range. The sound is certainly clear enough and there is no buzzy interference. If the sound man can give you a good mix then everything is fine.

In the market of in ear monitor systems I think you are going to have to go a long way to find a product that is as reliable as this for the most amazing competitive price. This is the upgraded model (I have the old model also) and it has yet to ever let me down. With changeable frequencies, you will never have to go without due to someone or something else being on the same frequency. A light weight pack with a good clip which makes for easy wearing. A very uncomplicated simple knob to ensure the right volume feed to your earphones. The new digital display is easy to read and the battery indicator lets you know whether the batteries are full, half way drained or about to give up the ghost. You will never have to change batteries half way through a performance as the easy to read display clearly tells you the amount of life left in the pack. An extremely good range on the system so you should never experience any drop outs. Go grab a bargain, because that is exactly what this is!!!!!
