[Harp-L] Personal powered monitors

[Jordan Feldman]

I used something like this for a while. If you're going to plug both ears, you need one that will take a monitor send from the board, in addition to your mic, with two volume controls.
Otherwise, you'll have to do the one plug in/one out routine.  Never found that to be a good solution.  It can mess with your pitch too.

I have been using an effects pedal straight into PA and need a little help hearing myself in some situations over and above band's monitors.
