1. IEMs are not going to be cheap. Cheap systems suck. Shure is a good place to START.
2. Be sure and investigate that you will be able to use your system after Feb 2009.
3. I would check out some other options that use frequencies not in the line of fire of DTV, the whitespace wars and the FCC. Go for some of the GHz systems.
4. Don NOT put the transmitter in the booth. Put it on stage.

  Thanks for the tips!
  
  If Shure is only where to start, it could be a while before I can justify the cost. But I'll remember to check out what you said about frequencies, etc. Good advice. :-)
  
  As for where it is placed, well, the Church that my band generally plays at desperately needs to have their stage rewired. They are only using ONE monitor send! Not to mention many of the plugs and outlets are dead... But I do recall seeing a secondary snake running down the balcony steps, used occasionally for 'additional mains' when the youth group brings in their lone pair of Mackie SM450's. Maybe if I bring an XLR or two of my own, I could get my own mix without going wireless in the first place. :-) Any wired suggestions for Etymotic ER4 or ER6 plugs?

    I usually bought the church band Shure E5s, or we had custom impressions fitted with Westone's after hearing tests.
    
    Too bad about the wiring.
    
    There really aren't any reliable systems under the Shure PSM6s that sound good. I never did wireless without a helical active antenna system. Those are big bucks. I tried to keep the band wired where I could. I used Shure PSM4s for that. I haven't wasted my time or other people's money on anything less than those. You will also need some kid of DSP to brickwall limit, EQ and compress your signal ideally. Nothing like a feedback loop to kill your hearing.

      That's the reason I want to use IEM in the first place. :-D
