Sensaphonics 3DME Gen 2 Active Ambient In-Ear Monitor Earphones

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Clearly hear your mix and the ambient sound of the room! With full-bandwidth MEMS microphones on each side, 3DME in-ears let you hear exactly what you need.

This unique universal-fit in-ear monitoring system featuring Active Ambient technology has been updated with enhanced features. 3DME Gen 2 boasts seven-band stereo EQ and adjustable limiter to customize the sound and dial in safety using the free Sensaphonics 3DME app via Bluetooth. Its isolating ambient IEMs use embedded binaural mics and Sensaphonics' patented Active Ambient technology to capture stage sound under user control via the system's compact body pack mixer. Among the Gen 2 upgrades are eight-hour usage from USB-rechargeable batteries; improved high frequency response and available 76 dB limiter threshold, plus processing bypass capability for the monitor feed (for standard mixing by the monitor engineer).

Used with a monitor feed, 3DME brings stage sound and off-mic conversation back into the performance experience, all with both IEMs safely in place. Used separately, 3DME functions as high fidelity earplugs with variable level and custom EQ.

All 3DME products are compatible with wireless personal monitor systems and portable digital devices via the included stereo jumper cable.

The system includes 3 main components:

- 3DME Active Ambient Earphones: Universal-fit, dual driver in-ear monitors (IEMs) with embedded binaural microphones capture the ambient sound around you with full 3D directionality and three sizes of eartips to isolate your ears and deliver superb sound.
- 3DME Bodypack Mixer/Amplifier: Connects and combines your sound source with the ambient read more mic feed to add 3D stage mic level to your monitor mix. The bodypack also houses powerful limiter and EQ functions. (When used without a direct monitor mix, you can still hear and control your customized ambient feed with full 3D directionality.) Note: The Power switch is on the bottom.
- Sensaphonics Smartphone App: Program the bodypack and tailor your sound mix, levels, mic level, EQ and sound limiting, save custom presets, and performs an Audio Seal Test for proper IEM fit.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I use 3DME buds with a Sennheiser IEM system. The sound quality is awesome. My favorite feature is the ability to mix in ambient room sound using the built-in mics. I’ll set my mixer’s monitor send to only include my vocal mic, then blend in the rest of the band as much as I want. This gives a more realistic overall sound. The only complaint I have is that the wire clip for the belt pack often comes off. Therefore I’ve started putting the belt pack in my pocket. Not a huge deal, but somewhat annoying. Keep in mind that the 3DME belt pack doesn’t replace your IEM’s belt pack, so you’ll be wearing two packs. The 3DME system includes a jumper cable to connect the two.
