Most regular analogue IEM system could do similar, in stereo if desired,
without the latency.


If you're going to put the live feed into the mix, latency on the headphone
is critical for tracking. 5ms is enough to cause weird comb filtering on
the vocals in the phones.


How ya going to get 5ms latency ( or 1ms for that matter) in an analogue
wireless link ?


With analogue links, latency is not an issue, but then you get a whole bunch
of other problems in return.

Whatever happened to those infrared headphone links? I still have one
around somewhere that uses a 1 MHz carrier and an IR LED. Fidelity is
just so-so but would be fine for tracking.
