AKG Wireless Monitoring Via iPhone
AKG has developed a free iPhone app for monitoring its DMS 700, WMS 4000/4500 and IVM 4 wireless mic/in-ear systems. Using an iPhone, AKG’s HiQnet HUB 4000Q and a generic wireless router, users can browse the entire wireless system, monitor each device and its parameters, or check the radio frequency connection of each wireless device—from anywhere in the venue within WiFi range. Based on Harman’s advanced HiQnet protocol, the application can be used side by side with Harman Pro System Architect.

Sensaphonics 3MAX Triple-Driver Earphones
Said to be the first—and only—triple-driver in-ear monitoring unit with the long-wearing comfort of soft-gel silicone earpieces, the new Sensaphonics 3MAX custom earphone also features a field-replaceable cable. Combining a proprietary twin-driver bass system with a precision high-frequency driver, the 3MAX delivers accurate audio for IEM users with higher sound pressure levels and more bass headroom than any previous model. The 3MAX custom earphone sells for $1,050 and is now available.
