Members tony k Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm wondering if it using Shure E5's with say a PS200 unit will sound much better than using the E2's or 3's. Would using a better transmitter and receiver sound better with the E5's? Maybe bumping it up to the PS400? What are the additional benefits of using the better transmitters and receivers? At most I'm looking at needing a hundred feet of wireless range.Thanks,Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gregidon Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 In my experience there is a significant amount of hiss in the PSM200 system. I imagine this would ofset the gains that you would get using e5's. If you're going to spend the money on e5's, I would bump up to at least the PSM400's.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 13, 2007 CMS Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've never had a problem with hiss in my PSM200, had it for 2+ years, and use E-2's and E-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard a hiss. Maybe it's the RF in the building. I don't know. If I was going to spend $500 on IEMs, I think i'd be inclined to get PSM400 for the improved feature set anyway.

Oh I'm not advising one over the other...if you can afford the -400's by all means get them. I'm only saying I've not had a problem with hiss using the 'stock' and the upgraded ears.

Members tremendo Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm with Craig. PSM200 wireless with E4's and E2's. No hiss, no problems. The E4's are better and clearer and fuller frequency than the E2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ed Dixon Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 No Hiss here either with PSM200 and E3s. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gregidon Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hum, well I don't know what the problem was. Maybe i'm faulting the PSM200's when it was another element in the signal chain causing the hiss. Sorry for passing along bad information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tony k Posted February 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks All! I'm going to go ahead and try the PS200 with some better IE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators MrKnobs Posted February 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have E1s, E2s, E4s, and E5s for earbuds, and PSM200 and PSM400 boxes. I actually like the E4s a bit better than the E5s. The E5s don't extend the low end, they extend the high end, and thus sound a bit harsh to me. The E2s are by far the worst of the lot, any of the others will sound better. I do like the way the E5s have a built in loop for your ears. Terry D.

The question is, do you notice any difference between the PSM200 and PSM400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
