• Universal: a one-size-fits-all earpiece, and

• Custom: a personalized earpiece custom-made from an impression of the individual's ear

The main benefit is comfort. Each monitor is customized for the individual ear, preventing soreness and fatigue. Microsonic Music™ has more than 43' years of experience fitting earpieces, and offers the best fit in the industry. Microsonic Music™ earmold technicians have collaborated with our engineers to provide the best possible fit and sound quality that anyone can offer.

Q5. What type of listeners would prefer the EPIC™ JC series?

Jazz, classical, acoustic musicians, drummers and keyboard players because the EPIC™ JC series is ideal for more perceptive listeners and players who require a flat response and full range. 

For listeners who need more bass, Microsonic Music™ has unleashed the EPIC™ X series monitors, which have a wonderfully large, yet natural-feeling bass response. The strong low frequency presence of the EPIC™ X is crafted especially for musicans who yearn to hear more bass and drums in the mix. Electric guitarists will also appreciate the powerful low end of the EPIC™ X, as will any listener who hungers for the amazing bottom end clarity that the EPIC™ X offers.

Q7. Do Microsonic Music™ monitors protect your hearing? How do they accomplish this?

Yes, they do protect your hearing. On stage, sound decibel levels are often very loud, and can cause hearing loss. A music monitor will isolate the listener from this dangerous sound, and allow the performer to monitor it at safer levels. The EPIC™ series are intended to reduce ambient sound by 20-25 dB. The stage noise and / or surrounding sounds will be reduced, therefore permitting monitoring at lower levels, and ultimately protecting your hearing.

Q8. What systems or equipment can be used with EPIC™ Microsonic Music™ monitors?

The EPIC™ series are compatible with all wired and wireless equipment that provides a standard headphone jack. This includes CD players, keyboard instruments, guitar processors, wireless belt packs, home stereos, MP3 players, mixing boards, iPods, multi-track recorders etc.
