But I think if you're using it regularly the benefits that it offers really make it worth the price. Maybe the price point is a little too high. I'm really surprised this product hasn't made more of a splash. With this it mounts easily right under my hi hat, where it is perfectly accessible for easy adjustments but is out of the way enough that it doesn't get in the way while I'm playing. I made a trip to a camera store and bought a heavy duty right angle mount for about $25. The device has a 1/4"-20 threaded mount on the back. One small box to haul around, minimal cabling to deal with, sets up quick, and it sounds great. etc., but it's the simplicity of this that really makes it shine. Yes, there are other ways to do this that would give you more control of EQ, compression, etc. It is really quite elegant in it's design.Īdd that to the fact that with 1/4", XLR, and SpeakOn input jacks, and the fact that you can switch from line level to speaker level, you can walk onto any stage, anywhere, and adapt their existing monitor setup to work with your in-ear rig, and I think you've got a real winner. (There's even an overload light that flashes when this happens.) When you hear that happening, you just reach over and adjust the Gain down a little bit. If you get a signal or a spike coming in that's too hot, the unit cuts out, maybe for less than a second or so. There is a Gain knob that attenuates the incoming signal, and then a Volume knob that lets you adjust to a comfortable listening level. To answer your questions about the "protection circuit," here's how it works. I really like it and I think it's worth every penny. I've owned one of the Ultimate Ears units for about a year now and I've used it many times. Or is it actually a surge (voltage) protector? If that's the case, how did UE determine the critical level? Are there any user-adjustable controls for setting this level? Without user controls you're at the mercy of some pre-defined level which could be way louder than you'd like, or possibly not loud enough before it shuts off. Or it could mean there is actually some built-in audio limiter in place to protect your hearing before the level reaches a critical point.

So "spike protection" could mean the entire unit shuts off, rendering it useless until the circuit is either reset or replaced.
Normally, spike protection in any electronic equipment means that an excessive voltage will overload components in the device unless there are surge (or spike) protection components built into the device that trip a circuit, causing the device to shut off before damage can be done to it (not your hearing).
