Singers often use earphones to hear the members of the group better. We will talk about the ways that the singer uses earphones to perform live on stage.

Earphones to enhance the volume

Most live singers use earphones to enhance the volume of their voices. Live performances are usually enhanced by using as many microphones as the singer wishes to use.

The sound quality of the microphones is usually better if the singer has the option to plug their ears into one microphone.

A live singer's ears are therefore used as the mixing board. The vocalist is mixing the sound from the microphone and is using the E/DA master volume button to adjust the volume.

Toe-in microphone

Most singers use the toe in the microphone to improve the dynamics of their voice.

Usually, a singer will start singing flat, then they will insert the toe in the microphone to amplify their voice and create a more powerful sound. This can also be called the overdrive effect.

You can use the toe-in microphone and the E/DA master volume to increase the dynamics of your voice.

Even though you are using a hand-held device to adjust the level of the levels, you can still access your master volume by pressing the E/DA master volume button.

With the E/DA master volume button, the vocalist is also able to use the DA master volume control of the hearing aid.

Earphones and monitors

Most singers use the different types of monitors to help create the sound and to control the levels of their voice.

Some people also use small earphones when performing.

They put a pair of earphones on their right ear and use a monitor microphone with earphones so that they can use one microphone to sing and another microphone to control the level of their voice.

The basic setup of a live singer

Before using any device, the first thing that the vocalist needs to do is to hook up the earphones to the microphone.

The next step is to take the earphones and fit them over the front of your head. You need to turn the head to the right and put the tip of the earphone in the outer part of the ear.

To get the best sound quality, the earphones should go over the front of your ear. For the best sound quality, the earphones should lie just behind the tip of the ear.
