Fischer Amps In-Ear Monitor BP Reviews

a classic, the best don't buy the sweeper ripoffs that don't sound like this one only downside is the battery level control via the led

A Great Little Amp For Stage Use - Wired

First of all, I'm a drummer, therefore I have no real need for wireless connectivity on stage since I'm not moving from my drum throne.

I attached a piece of wide strap to the side of my drum throne with tape and I use a belt clip to keep the amp near and accessible at all times. I can reach for my volume control in less than a second!

That also makes it easy to connect the stereo inputs via 2 XLR inputs from my mixer. The only minimal "problem" I have is the ON/OFF switch is a little bit hard to reach and press underneath the DC input.

The sound is good enough powering my Shure SE215s. I would give it a 4/5 in absolute terms, it's not the absolute Hi-Fi quality, but it's good enough for pretty much everything.

The build quality is good, the amp is very sturdy and comes in a nice plastic carry case. No problems there. I also bought the Fischer Amps DC Power Supply so I didn't try it on battery power yet.

All in all, a great device, very handy and nicely built, I'm super satisfied!

For use on the small stage this is a great little amplifier. Super easy to set up and use. The cable to your monitor output on your mixer can be annoying. I have only used it with the 9 volt battery as I want to avoid the use of another cable running down from my side. I would recommend the use of a rechargeable battery. Battery power gets used up pretty fast but on a full charge you will get a good long gig or two out of it. The belt holder (as with most belt holders on any product) in my opinion could be better.I found a weakness in the headphone socket and care is recomended when plugging in and out.In saying all that I still really like this product so much so that I purchased a second one.The price is acceptable.

top quality

great in ear belt pack- as good as anything else on market

The perfect beltpack for static musicians

I use this product for several years now and it works perfect. As a drummer the beltpack is ideal to enjoy the quality of a stereo-sound without having a mixing desk beside you. This compact BP let's you control the volume and panning but can also mix 2 different input channels. I use this feature a lot in live situations when I want to control my SPD-SX sound (backing track & click) & monitor channel. I would recommend an external adapter from Fisher Amps (connector-lock), so you have no risk on power outage. Since you're already wired up with 2 XLR cables, the power cable is negligible.

Good for running basic in-ear monitoring

I use the Fischer body pack on an almost weekly basis for gigs. It's easy to use and well constructed - I haven't had any problems with it in over a year of gigging. As a bassist I don't move around much on stage so I didn't want to buy a wireless system and the body pack provides a good alternative. I run an xlr cable from the mixing desk and clip the body pack onto my bass strap - I find this makes volume adjustments easier while playing and feels less intrusive than having the pack attached to my belt.

Very robust and sounds great

This are great little units if you want to make a start with in-ear monitoring without the expense of wireless units. The ability to mix between two inputs on the front of the unit is great. The sound quality is good and there's plenty of volume even on a loud stage. They're very robust and will withstand abuse from the talent. Hard to find fault really.

Good amp

This is a perfect little amp for someone trying out in ears for the first time. Its pretty good for its price, Its a little bulky but it also light, the sound quality is good, but not with poor quality in ears.

A very high quality IEM amp

There's a great sound from this IEM amplifier. I use them in conjunction with a set of 1964ears quad driver IEM's and I'm very happy with the sound. The unit is very reliable with a very sturdy build quality. Features are pretty basic, but it has everything you need from an IEM. Two little negative points for me are (a) it doesn't have a dual input, just XLR as opposed to XLR and 1/4" jack. That would have been handy rather than having to use an adapter. And (b) the on/off switch and the stereo/mono switch are quite difficult to depress when they are pressed in. But these are minor issues and I would highly recommend the unit to anyone looking for a high quality IEM solution.

Hard-wired IEM amp

I decided to purchase this having weighed up the financial implications of buying one of the top-end IEM wireless systems. In reality, I don't need to move to far around the stage when performing, so this Fischer setup seemed to be the best way to go.

I'm running my JH16 IEMs off this device and it does everything I need. It comes with a nifty carrying case, so it is well protected when in transit and I've also bought a headphone extension cable, so you can also rest the unit on your amp or elsewhere.

Not powerful enough

We tested one of these today and although it worked quite well, it was lost when our volume uncreased. Both our mixing desk and this unit were on maximum and still it wasn't loud enough. I suppose for quieter performances it would be fine but for a band that pumps out load music for 3 hours it's fairly useless.

Over two years use and still going strong!

As a drummer I attach the unit to my music stand so it's not taken too much abuse over the two plus years I've had it. I've always used it with the mains adapter also as I'm not moving around. It's a great device which has saved my hearing from loud guitar amps which at one gig were directly behind me. Coupled with my I.E.M.s it's been the perfect monitoring solution.

Solid sound, solid features

Although a fairly aged product, Fischer is still one of the top choices for those in need for a quality sound and built hardwired In Ear Monitoring. After testing a few wireless systems I ended up with this BP as the quality of sound and also trouble free signal chain were deciding factors.

Mixing options for two inputs, mono and stereo serve me well. Perhaps a microphone through could come handy in some situations, but otherwise I don't see any further requirements for my needs.

I am a singer and guitar player performing both sitting and standing up. When sitting down a plug my Shure ear plugs directly to Fischer BP, and when standing up and moving I use the Fischer Mini BP for volume control, which is more comfortable when attached to the belt.

Brilliant In-Ear monitor pack.

I've been using this pack now for five years. I love it. It is such a versatile little unit. When I started using in-ears I didn't like the loss of control over my bass sound/level - or having to catch the soundguy's attention if I needed the level changed. With this pack I have my own bass signal going into one channel and everything else going into the other channel. Then by using the blend know I can alter the relative levels whenever I need to.

One other amazing feature is the ability to switch between stereo mode and dual mono mode. In stereo both signals are present in both ears and the blend knob controls how much of each signal is sent to both ears. In dual mono mode one signal is sent to the left ear, the other to the right. I find this really useful for my gigs where I'm playing double bass - so I have my bass signal in my left ear (and where the bass physically is) and the band mix in my right ear. I find this is a great feature that can let me focus on my own instrument without fighting to be heard over the other instruments.

Good Sound but easily broken

We use these powered IEM packs for backline instruments and they are certainly powerful and clear. We never really used them in stereo as we run our mixes in mono. The most disappointing element is the fact they over time they just fell apart. The battery housings fall off with regular battery replacement and the battery connection then became problematic. Also the jack sockets quickly became unreliable and the audio would frequently cut out. For a product that is made to be belt clipped the individual elements need to be more durable just as the casing (apart from the battery cover) are.

Great tool

This is a great tool for any pro-musician.

Sounds fantastic, always works.

The only thing that could be better is the belt-clip. But the new model has a new clip-design wich works much better!

Great device!!

Crystal clear quality from a wired headphone amp!

Features:

Simple controls that do exactly what they should coupled with enough input/output options to be very versatile indeed! It does exactly what I need it to do and nothing I don't need!

Comfort:

The belt clip doesn't quite let it hang right on a back pocket and makes my pocket gape but apart from that it's of very minor weight and I barely notice I'm wearing it!

Sound:

I use this with a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple fi.10 and the sound quality was pure crystal, I can hear myself and my bandmates superbly, no harshness of top end and no weird mid-bumps! Just smooth response and crystal clarity!

Quality:

The housing feels really sturdy and the knobs are smooth and firm in operation, every thing about it feels of the highest quality.

Conclusions:

Superbly made, hi-fi sounding, wired belt pack, couple it with some excellent in ears and you're completely set! The price of these is astonishly low for the sound quality they produce! Recommended!

Fischer amp rivals the p6hw

This IEM pack has been very reliable woth great battery life and has allowed me to mix from big bands to small bands without having to worry about the quality of what i am hearing is not the same as the musicians rivals the p6hw

Perfect

Does the job exactly as it should. no need now to use a monitor so saves on weight and setup time

A Great Alternative to Wireless IEM

This unit is built like a tank and can withstand the punishment that it gets from being flung around on tour. A great alternative to wireless IEM's it perfectly suited for or backline where sound quality and stereo mix only help give the boys exactly what they need in their ears! with the option of being battery powered (9v) or from a power supply it has the flexibility of being used in an install or part of a House Band set up. Much easier and cheaper than foldback wedges, amps and leads!!! A serious contender!
