Soul II Soul

"I am very impressed by the new PSM 900 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 PSM 900 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

Article on the Shure Blog: Soul II Soul turn to Shure PSM 900 In Ear Monitoring for 'best on stage sound ever!'


Passion Pit

"the hardest thing with the PSM 900 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

Ben Harper

"The Finest In-Ear Monitoring System I Have Ever Used."

-- Ben Harper

The Who

"We had the chance to try PSM 900 prototypes on the (autumn 2009) Daltrey tour. Roger and I both think they sound incredible, and they have been absolutely flawless for us. So we were keen to use them for the Super Bowl."

-- Simon Higgs,
Monitor Engineer for The Who

Teenage Cancer Trust

"We’d already heard demonstrations of Shure’s PSM 900, and it was immediately obvious from the sound quality that we had to showcase them at the Teenage Cancer Trust shows,"

-- Liam Halpin,
Entec’s Audio Technical Manager and Crew Chief for TCT

Press release on shure.co.uk: Shure chosen for Teenage Cancer Trust's 10th Anniversary live extravaganza


Commendation for Innovation Award

"A combination of technology in this in-ear wireless monitoring system allows the user to save significant time in setting up on-stage mixes. The Judges felt the Cue mode and RF mute were useful features that combined to make a flexible system.."

-- Plasa Awards Judges

Press release on shure.co.uk: PSM 900 wins commendation for innovation


KC & The Sunshine Band

"I got a demo from my Shure rep and took them out to a show, which was a great opportunity to compare apples to apples against our other systems. Sonically, it’s crisp and clear, and it has more output than the brand we had been using. I love having that extra headroom available. And that’s without even considering all the features on the technical side. When you put things side by side, sometimes the purchase decision becomes really obvious."

-- Chad Griswold,
Monitor Engineer for KC & The Sunshine Band

Slash

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

PSM 1000: UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE NEW HIGH END IN-EAR MONITORING SYSTEM

 

Ethernet

 

Tuning Bandwidth

 

Compatibility

 

Diversity

 

Power Supply

 

Scan & Sync

 

Ethernet Port for Shure Network Connectivity
Most efficient setup and control: PSM transmitters can be controlled either by Wireless Workbench 6.0 software, an Axient Spectrum Manager or by another PSM 1000 unit via single Ethernet port connection.
  UP to 80 MHz Tuning Bandwidth
Highest RF spectrum flexibility: Up to 80 MHz tuning bandwidth and a frequency choice of eight band versions provide users ultimate flexibility and performance in today’s crowded and unpredictable RF environments.
  Backwards Compatibility
Reduced investment costs: The PSM 1000 system is audio and frequency sync compatible with PSM 900 in the same range to facilitate streamlined inventory management.
  Bodypack Receiver with Two Antenna Diversity
The best in audio and RF performance: The P10R bodypack employs two antenna diversity reception, providing rock-solid coverage from two antennas for the best in audio and RF performance.
 

Internal Power Supply – No more external power supply unit
Efficient, universal power supply with industry standard IEC connectors and
daisy-chain capability for comfortable, easy setup and handling.

  Full Range Scan & Sync Capabilities
Most efficient setup and control: Streamlining pre-show setup tasks, the P10R bodypack receiver scans the full range and IR syncs scan data to the P10T transmitter. The P10T then assigns compatible frequencies to additional transmitters over the network or transfers scan data to Wireless Workbench 6.0.
 

PSM 900 AND PSM 1000 FEATURES

 

RF Filtering

 

RF Mute Switch

 

Linearity

 

RF Gain Control

 

 

 

CueMode*

 

Companding

 

Group Scan &Sync

 

Rechargeability

 

Front End RF Filtering – Higher signal quality
Higher signal quality: The same advanced filtering found in industry-leading UHF-R wireless systems, significantly reduces RF interference for a cleaner, stronger RF signal, fewer dropouts, and less audible artifacts.
  RF Mute Switch
The "Do Not Disturb" RF button: Ideal for festivals and multi-venue events, the front-panel RF mute switch on the P9T and P10T transmitter enable or disable RF transmission, allowing setup operation without disrupting the RF environment.
  Exceptional Transmitter Linearity
Up to 40 compatible channels: The P9T and P10T transmitter vastly reduce frequency intermodulation, allowing up to 20 compatible channels for the P9T and 40 compatible channels for the P10T to operate simultaneously in one frequency band.
  Active RF Gain Control
Avoid RF Signal Overload: RF signal overload can cause dropouts if the receiver comes too close to the transmitting antenna. Active RF gain control detects any spikes in RF signal and seamlessly reduces RF sensitivity to protect against RF overload.
 

CueMode*
Instantly listen to any stage mix: This feature allows for auditioning of up to 20 different mixes on a single bodypack at the touch of a button. Simply hear what the performer hears, without the need for any additional equipment.
*= patent pending
  Audio Reference Companding
Sounds like wired: Patented Shure Audio Reference Companding provides the purest in-ear sound.
 

Group Scan and Sync
Find channels easily and immediately. Scan the RF environment and identify the group with the most free frequencies.
By using the sync-function, these frequencies can be transferred to the transmitter via IR within seconds

  Rechargeability
Low operating costs and extended battery life: The P10R and the P9RA work with an 8-Up battery charger (SBC800). This compact unit charges eight SB900 batteries to full capacity within two hours, with status LEDs to indicate power levels.
