4 Popular Dual Wireless In-Ear Monitor Systems (Every Budget)

What are the best popular dual wireless in-ear monitor systems for every budget?

In-ear monitors are crucial for most bands and musicians. Unfortunately, many in-ear systems come with a relatively hefty price. That’s why many people are deciding to purchase dual systems instead. Dual in-ear monitor systems come with two or more receivers per transmitter. Thus, getting an overall better bang for the buck. After extensive research, testing, and help from a few musician friends; We formulated a list of the top 4 dual wireless in-ear monitor systems in every budget range. However, if you’re only looking for a pair of IEM earbuds without the system, see our top 6 affordable earbuds here.

Before we get started, a few things to keep in mind…

• Each system comes with at least two separate receivers: Part that you plug your earbuds into that typically attaches to your belt or pocket.
• The transmitter is the unit that’s set up in the vicinity of the stage: Not carried with you
• You are able to purchase earbuds separately if you prefer

1. Audio2000’S AWM6309U

First up, the Audio2000’S AWM6309U is a great bang for the buck dual in-ear monitor system. You are able to use it in either mono or stereo mode. With its built-in limiter, most distortion is eradicated for smooth sound quality. What I like about this unit is its frequency agility capabilities over 25 MHz Bandwidth. It also has 100 preprogrammed frequencies channels available. In other words, it’s relatively easy to find an available open channel that won’t get interference. For those who purchase this system, I highly recommend you to flip the switch on the back labeled “RF switch” to H. In short, the RF signal is even stronger when the switch on the back is turned to high. 

What surprised me the most about this system is the sound quality in comparison to its price. Keep in mind, this unit being much cheaper is not going to sound as good as a top-tier system. However, for their much lower price, these in-ears sound fantastic. They are relatively clear with decent clarity. They will undoubtedly get the job done and give you a pleasurable experience during the show. The transmitter is rack-mountable for added convenience and protection. Both receivers take 2 AA batteries. Overall, the Audio2000’S AWM6309U is an affordable dual wireless in-ear monitor solution that performs much better than its price. We highly recommend it for those on a tight budget. 

Features

• Built-in limiter to eradicate a fair amount of distortion
• Mono mode or stereo mode

2. Shure PSM300

Next up, the Shure PSM300 is one of the top-tier professional dual wireless in-ear monitor systems on the list. As a matter of fact, it may even be the most professional dual system on the entire market, as well. But there’s a catch. It comes with a pretty hefty price tag. First and foremost, this system its incredibly reliable. You won’t be having any drop out issues due to interference. With its automatic frequency scan, it automatically selects the clearest and most available channel. The transmitter is made of robust metal for added durability and longevity. Not to forget, it’s rackmountable, as well. 

In terms of its sound quality and audio clarity, you would be more than pleased with the Shure PSM300 for many reasons. For one, it’s a hybrid system getting the best of both UHF and digital transmission. It has little to no latency of a standard UHF combined with 24-bit digital clean audio. Another thing you will appreciate is the ear-buds coming with the purchase. They work incredibly well at isolating sound from the outside environment, enhancing the overall audio clarity. Not to forget, the bass sound is very deep and clear without distortion. 

The overall setup and sync for Shure PSM300 are pretty easy. First, you open the receiver (bodypack) at the back and hold the scan button until the channels start changing. Eventually, the channels will stop changing once they find the clearest and most available channel. After that, place the open-back receiver in front of the transmitter where the red sync windows are facing each other. Finally, press the sync button on the transmitter and wait a few seconds. Overall, the Shure PSM300 is a professional dual in-ear monitor system that will serve you and you’re band very well. We highly recommend it.

3. Xtuga RW2080

The Xtuga RW2080 is a good dual in-ear monitor system for groups that need many receivers. You can buy this system with 2,4,6,8, or 10 receivers that all can have their own channel. Both transmitter and receiver are made of metal for added durability and longevity. It has excellent reliability, with 275 selectable channels to choose from. However, some channels are more transparent than others.

Unfortunately, the sound quality of the Xtuga RW2080 is not the best. I had to find the clearest frequency before getting the sound to work at its best. However, once the correct channel is found, the sound quality does its job. It does not perform well when the volume is extremely loud but just fine at a moderate to low volume for the price.

Overall, the Xtuga RW2080 is a sound in-ear monitor system that is best used for those who need anywhere between 2-10 receivers. It will get the job done.

Pros

• All metal build
• Rackmountable
• Able to purchase this system with 2,4,6,8, or 10 receivers
• Able to purchase additional receivers separately

Cons

• Bad sound quality at high volume and unclear channel
• Does not use stereo

4. Galaxy Audio AS-1400-2

Lastly, the Galaxy Audio AS-1400 UHF is another great dual in-ear monitor system that comes with a rackmount kit. The receiver takes 2AA batteries providing 7 hours of continuous use. Both the transmitter and receiver have an excellent build quality that is designed for longevity. It gives you the option to either use it in stereo, mono, or mixed mono. In stereo transmission, you can pan the instruments in whichever way you please.

The sound quality for this system is very good, with overall clarity for the low and high end. However, the ear-buds are not up to par with the quality of the actual system. It may be better to purchase an additional set of ear monitors. With 275 channels to choose from, the Galaxy Audio AS-1400 UHF is entirely reliable.

Features

• Comes with rackmount kit
• XLR on the back of the transmitter
