Product Description

Whether you are using floor wedges, an in-ear system, or a pair of headphones to monitor your audio, the new Stage-Buddy from SM Pro Audio represents the next generation in personal monitoring control. Featuring onboard EQ, signal limiting, and a quality reverb, the Stage-Buddy provides a much-needed personal monitoring solution suitable for monitoring voice, guitar, or any line level or microphone signal.

Personal audio monitoring has for the main part been limited in use due to both the prohibitive expense of available systems coupled with their excessively complex operation for untrained users. With the release of Stage-Buddy personal monitoring is now accessible to the masses. The Stage-Buddy is not only affordable, but provides a much needed solution in a simple to use package. The Stage-Buddy heralds a new era in personal monitoring.

The Stage-Buddy system is an expandable monitoring solution comprised in its simplest form of one Master unit and four (4) Remote Stage-Buddy units. Remote units can be connected either directly to the Master unit or daisy chained (up to 8 units) to each other in succession using readily available standard Cat5 network cable. Bi-directional audio transmission and power is supplied to each remote unit directly from the Master unit making an extremely simple and elegant solution for distributing personal monitoring to end-users.

The Master unit is a 1RU 19" rack-mountable hardware chassis that houses both the main audio connections for the system in addition to 4 x Cat5 distribution outlets for connection to the Remote units. Power/signal LED's on the front panel provide display current audio activity whilst a handy split output pair is also provided to allow simple expandability of the system and offer further possibilities to audio engineers.

Each Remote unit is a little wonder in itself! With a host of features packed into a compact monitoring unit, the Remote offers quality personal microphone pre amplification, EQ, Reverb, limiting, and a powerful pristine headphone amplifier. The special and ingenious "More Me" control is a standout. What could be easier than simply turning up the More Me knob when wanting to listen to a little more of your own voice or instrument through a pair of headphones or monitoring amplifier?

How about a little reverb on your voice, or would you prefer wind back the top end a little? Simply dial in on the front panel of the Stage-Buddy Remote. Dial in some reverb, dial in More Me, and your done.

With the Stage-Buddy there is no longer a need for complex monitor mixing, multi channel inputs, or complex monitoring configurations. Simply sending a stereo master mix feed from the front of house mix to the Stage-Buddy Master unit allows Remote users the ability to dial up their monitoring preferences without fuss.

Monitoring options abound with the Stage-Buddy system. Whether you connect headphones, powered stage monitors, or In Ear monitoring systems, the Stage-Buddy has all options covered. It is simply perfect for a wide variety of application environments from recording studios, broadcast facilities, live band venues, home studios, through to orchestra pits.

Consider personal monitoring for an entire orchestra. With the Stage-Buddy system, up to 16 units can be connected to a single Master unit. Each member of the orchestra could quickly control his or her own desired level and settings. Several Master units could also be cascaded to offer 128, 256, or even more Stage-Buddy Remote systems all running concurrently.

All housed in an external chassis, the Stage-Buddy is shielded from any stray electrical interference. Robust connectors are provided for all inputs and outputs.

The solution is now here... personal monitoring - personal control.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
