IVM 1
INDIVIDUAL VIRTUAL
MONITOR SYSTEM
In-ear monitor systems have become a standard
item for many bands today. They provide convincing
benefits including mobility on stage, a clear monitor
sound and they even protect your ears from exces-
sive sound levels on stage. Professional users world-
wide prefer the IVM 1 from AKG. In designing this
system, AKG built on 50 years of acoustic research,
extensive test series and the latest psychoacoustic
discoveries. The result is the IVM 1, the only binaural
in-ear monitor system in the world. Forget monitor
speakers and all the related problems such as fuzzy
imaging, feedback, spillover, not to mention the
schlepping involved. The AKG IVM 1 and AKG WMS
wireless microphone systems use coordinated carrier
frequencies to prevent mutual interference. By the
way, should the monitor engineer ever lose control of
the levels, highly effective limiters will protect your
ears from excessive sound levels.
Inside localization
The binaural processing of the IVM 1 allows you to
experience the live, onstage feeling of conventional
monitors, with perfect imaging and a crystal clear
sound. Unlike with conventional in-ear monitor sys-
tems, the other musicians don't seem to be playing
inside your head but are part of a three-dimensional
mix from the outside. You can hear the difference but
won't notice it on the price tag: the AKG IVM 1 costs
roughly the same as a high quality stage monitor
system.
As required by R&TTE directives, we do not ship complete IVM 1
systems to R&TTE countries. The SPR 1, however, is still avail-
able as a separate component in all R&TTE countries.
Inside localization without IVA
(Individual Virtual Acoustics): The
other musicians seem to play
between the artist's ears, with no
dimensional perspective.
3-D sound with IVA (Individual
Virtual Acoustics): The monitor mix
seems to come from outside, with
full left-right and front-back local-
ization.
