Stage Monitor Engineer (IEM)
Sound Engineering
Type
A monitor engineer mixes the sound the musicians listen to onstage during a performance. Typically the musicians will be provided an individual mix with either speaker monitors or in-ear monitor systems (IEMS). The monitor engineer will tailor the mixes for each musician onstage, providing them with their desired amount of instruments and vocals. There is no template for the mix as each musician will have their preferences to what instruments they need to hear and the overall sound of the mix.
The monitor engineer is also typically responsible for maintaining and repair of the monitor system and microphones. The monitor engineer will supervise the set up of the monitor system and set up stage wiring. The monitor engineer will EQ the monitor system (ring out wedges) on a daily basis.
