Loud Profile in my IEM only

  • I've had something similar when I switched between bass and pedal steel onstage - the bass (according to bandmates) was too loud when it felt "right" in the IEMs. Later, I upgraded to better IEMs and realized the problem was a general lack of low end (and a poor seal) in the original IEMs. Being that IEMs have their own frequency response (like any system) and don't really let you hear the interaction with the room, you may need to do some trial-and-error adjusting.

    My issue is only that one profile, though.
