What Is An IEM Antenna Combiner? In Ear Monitor Hardware

What are IEM antenna combiners? As bands and providers add more and more In Ear Monitor units to their equipment racks, the needs and benefits of using an IEM antenna combiner multiplies. Multiple antennas from multiple IEM transmitters don't just look ugly, they create signal issues that degrades your RF transmission ability and thus create reception issues on the other end. Combiners mitigate these issues, improve reception among multiple units, as well as clean up and simplify the look and wiring of an IEM rack package.
But, IEM antenna combiners are not the same as RF microphone antenna distribution systems. And the video explains this.

If you're a band using IEM's, a system provider, venue, or church or praise band learning about the benefit of an antenna combiner and when it's time to starting using one is an important consideration.

In many cases, the expense of a combiner should just be built into your IEM budget as you're planning and putting the system together.
