Shure E2,3,5: sound quality, isolation?
Does anyone have experience comparing Shure E2, E3 and E5 in-ear monitors?
I am using these for location recording (amplified rock/folk music in small venues), so I need both isolation and good sound. I am experimenting with keeping these on for the whole show, so I can detect any mic problems. Right now I'm using the E2's, but I'm not happy with the high end response. Would the E3 be much better or do I need to go to the E5? Also, has anyone tried to improve the isolation, either using custom ear molds? There are also these "triple flange" things that fit on the E3 and E5's. Thanks for any pointers, Richard |

Better IEM sealing usually pays off mostly in the bass department. |

Right. I should clarify. I'm not running the house sound. I just want a good monitor of what is going on the recording. Take over a bathroom or an unused dressing room. Or set up in a corner of the green room. No headphones will give you a good enough sense of imaging to allow you to place mikes properly. Not even through the Headwise box. The Etymotics are okay if there's no other solution, but a pair of speakers is so amazingly easier to work with. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
