February 4, 2000Shure Incorporated today unveiled its PSM 400 Personal
Monitor System and the P4M Personal Monitor Mixer at Winter NAMM 2000.
Shure's PSM 400 and P4M are two ground-breaking and affordable products
that make it possible for working musicians to gain control of what they
hear on stage by creating personal, in-ear monitor mixes.
The PSM 400 provides an alternative to traditional floor wedge monitoring and
shares the hallmarks of Shure's family of high quality, professional PSM systems
used by touring artists worldwide. A short list of performers who have adopted
Shure PSMs include Beck, Roger Daltrey of The Who, Korn, Christina Aguilera, The
Judds, Barenaked Ladies, Tom Jones, and Sheryl Crow.
The new system, like its predecessors, offers: a personal mix free of unwanted
stage sounds; individual volume and balance controls; a freedom of movement that
releases performers from standing in only one spot on stage; and an ease of portability
far greater than bulky floor wedge monitors. Furthermore, the PSM series, when
used properly, can aid performers in hearing conservation. These many benefits
are further enhanced by the P4M mixer, which brings complete control of the in-ear
mix right to the stage.
"Personal monitors have been so incredibly successful that you rarely
spot a touring performer going onstage without being plugged into earphones, "
said Steve Johnson, Vice President of Marketing for Shure Incorporated. "As
the market leader, we knew it was time to create a more affordable version for
the working musician."
The release of the PSM 400 and P4M Mixer is anticipated this spring and are
offered both as personal performance packs and as individual components. The PSM
400 Wireless Personal Performance Pack includes a receiver, transmitter, E1 earphone,
and P4M Mixer. The hardwired version consists of a body-pack monitor, E1 earphone,
and P4M mixer. Individual components include: PSM 400 Wireless Receiver, PSM 400
Wireless Transmitter, PSM 400 Hardwired Personal Monitor, P4M Personal Monitor
Mixer, and E1 Single Low Mass/High Energy™ Driver Earphone.
