Best IEMS for Keys
Below, a selection of industry professionals share why their chosen Cosmic Ears In-Ear Monitors are best for Keys players.
Howard Eastwood (Keys with Tom Grennan)
“As a keys player who uses a large variety of samples/patches ranging from pianos/synths/bass synths/organs/mellotrons/electric pianos etc, I needed a versatile and great all round IEM to accommodate all kinds of different sounds, frequencies, and pitches. My Cosmic Ears C6A IEM’s do exactly that, which is why they are a great choice for keys players.”
How well do Cosmic Ears custom IEMs reproduce the full range of keyboard instruments?
Our Cosmic Ears IEMs can accurately reproduce the full frequency range of keyboard instruments, from deep organ pedals to bright piano highs. Most of our keys customers opt for our C4A and above models, which are particularly effective for keyboardists who need to monitor the full 88-key range with full clarity.
How do I create and maintain stereo imaging for keyboard patches with my Cosmic Ears IEMs?
Ensure your keyboard outputs are properly configured as stereo in your monitor mix. Some keyboardists prefer to have specific sounds (like pads or string sections) panned to create width while keeping main piano sounds centred for better positional stability in the mix.
How long does it take to adjust to playing keyboards with custom IEMs?
This depends on the person, of course, but feedback from our Cosmic Ears keys customers says they adapt within 1-3 rehearsals. The adjustment is typically easier for keyboardists than for some other instrumentalists because keyboards already produce an electric output rather than acoustic sound.
