•  "the hardest thing with the PSM900 is knowing if they're actually switched on. They're so clean and so crisp that they almost feel as if they have a gate on them. There's complete isolation and just… nothing!"

Andrew Dobbins, Tour Manager of Passion Pit

•  "We had the chance to try PSM 900 prototypes on the Daltrey tour. Roger and I both think they sound incredible, and they have been absolutely flawless for us. 

 Simon Higgs, Monitor Engineer for The Who

•  "It sounds fantastic, and it’s clearly been designed to make life easy for monitor engineers"

 Monty Carlo, Monitor Mixer for Slash

• "I am very impressed by the new PSM900 system. The sound quality is superb, and the whole package is very well built. The thing that really sets it apart from everything else on the market though is the new 'CUEMODE' system on it. Using a beltpack in 'CUE' mode I can dial in to any performers monitor mix and listen to exactly what they are hearing. If I stand next to them I can even experience the same RF patterns as they are. It is a real game changer. After our first gig with PSM900 IEM, the band came off stage with multiple members stating it was the best on stage sound they have ever had. I am completely sold, they are on our rider from this point on!"

Simon Ryder, Soul II Soul Monitor Engineer

• "The on stage sound had cleared up so much by going to IEMs that I was able to 'finesse' my mix in a way that I have never been able to before. It was almost like mixing them in the studio"

Brandon Knights, Soul II Soul FOH Engineer
