New tour-grade IEMs and earphones debuted in Anaheim
Shure has debuted the new PSM 900, their newest In-Ear Monitoring System at the NAMM 2010 show.
Set for release in late spring 2010, Shure states that the perfect complement to PSM 900 are the SE425 and SE535, two new professional, sound isolating earphones that will become available in the middle of the year.
The release states that the PSM 900 provides a wide stereo field with exceptional L/R separation for enhanced detail and clarity usually lost in an in-ear monitoring system. It also features the patented Shure Audio Reference Companding, also used in the premium wireless microphone system UHF-R, for in-ear sound as close to wired as possible.
PSM 900s P9T transmitter has been optimized to reduce frequency intermodulation, allowing for up to 20 compatible channels to operate simultaneously on one (36 MHz) frequency band. Advanced filtering has also been integrated to reduce RF interference for a cleaner, stronger RF signal, fewer dropouts, and less audible artifacts. Automatic RF Gain Control detects any spikes in RF signal and seamlessly reduces RF sensitivity to protect against RF overload.
The patent-pending CueMode feature allows monitoring up to 20 different stage mixes on a single bodypack with the touch of a button. Sound engineers can now simply hear what the performer hears, without the need for any additional equipment.
An RF Mute Switch functions as the “do not disturb” RF Button. Ideal for festivals and multi-venue events, this front-panel switch on the P9T transmitter enables or disables RF transmission, allowing setup operation without disrupting the RF environment.
PSM 900 also comes with the thinnest available, all metal bodypack receiver for high wearing comfort and minimal visibility. MixMode enables the performer to easily control volume and balance for the optimal, individual mix. A simplified user interface with fast access to controls, an LCD menu structure similar to UHF-R Wireless Systems, and Scan & Sync functionality round out PSM 900’s profile as one of the most easy-to-use systems in its class.
As a first from Shure for use with in-ear monitoring on stage, the SE535 uses Triple High Definition MicroDrivers – a dedicated tweeter and dual woofers – for spacious sound and rich bass. Featuring Dual High Definition MicroDrivers, the SE425 uses a dedicated tweeter and woofer for accurate and balanced sound.
The combination of a new ergonomic form factor, cable with formable wire and a wide assortment of accessories ensure a secure, comfortable fit. In addition, the cables are both lockable for a safe connection while in use as well as detachable for easy replacement, extending the life of your investment.
Both earphones come with a wide assortment of accessories including sound isolating sleeves in multiple sizes for up to 30 dB of isolation from ambient noise.

As a user of Shure ear systems for the last 12 years, i canīt wait to test the new psm 900. As a monitor mixer I need a system I can trust night after night, and Shure has always provided it.

Will Shure finally try and compete with the equally quality and much lower in cost Sennheiser?
