ald audio Vs iem audio

[flickn]

I see u2 concerts posted at Dime , and was wondering what the differance between the two were

[AAR.oner]

one is from an Assisted Listening Device, the other from an In Ear Monitor...both are typically shite, as the "mix" can be anything from the on-stage drum monitor mix, front of house mix, etc etc...

as to which of those two specific suorces is better, i've got no clue...sorry

helpful as always , thanxs man

if i had to guess a iem would prob sound better because its being mixed by the band and being sent to gear designed more on a pro level
ald are not as pro and are not going to have as strong a signal, typically
thus a iem should be better as a radio would be closer to the station vs miles away

I'd say both are shite like posted above. IEM is gonna be mixed for the particular band member, i.e 90% guitar or 90% bass. It's gonna sound bad. ALD is gonna be closest to the same mix that your here. From that aspect it will be better.
