LD Systems U508 IEM HP

Having carried out a lot of research into In-Ear Monitoring systems I decided to purchase the LD Systems U508 IEM T which is placed in the lower price range. I was apprehensive awaiting the delivery of my IEM, hoped I would not regret my investment. I need not have worried. This new model with ear pods from LD Systems looks classy, is solidly built and the in ear sound quality is perfectly sharp and clear. There is intermittent interference but it is minimal, it doesn't cause any disruption to the sound signal. The frequency I use, 863.100, boasts 8 groups of 12 channels (96 Channels in total) broadcasting on either 2 or 10mW which gives a good range of movement.


Channels can be individually named on the transmitter, and in turn can be synchronized to the body/pocket pack (Receiver) along with the settings. This enables the setting up of different personalisation's for Vocal, Guitar, Drums etc. There are numerous settings for brightness of OLED displays, volume, RF, Audio, Control Lock etc., it also boasts a tone which warns when the two AA batteries need to be replaced. The body pack happily works on rechargeable batteries.


At its price bracket, this IEM system is fantastic value for money, it is comparable sound wise with much dearer systems. It is extremely easy to use. Its various menus are user friendly and logically laid out. I would have no hesitation in recommending the LD Systems U508 IEMT T to anyone considering its purchase, it can also be purchased without ear pods allowing the use of existing in ear pods or even headphones. As usual, Thomann provided their excellent service with the product well packaged and delivered on time.

I use this mainly in smaller venues and performs really well. I rarely get interferences or pauses in the transmission, especially if the unit is placed pretty far from the stage (over 30-40 m).
When placed on stage, it works perfectly.
The sound is clear and crisp. Of course, it doesn't have the depth of the more expensive IEMs out there, yet it does the job very well and I really think it's one of the best in terms of the quality / price ratio.

Ich habe das Ziel, dieses In-Ear Monitoring System sobald ich wieder grössere Live-Auftritte habe, zu benutzen. Momentan habe ich es erst in meinem Studio ausprobieren können. Bin zufrieden mit dem Klang, wenn genug Volumen ans System gesendet wird. XLR klingt besser als Jack meiner Meinung nach. Für den Preis kann man nichts sagen, das System funktioniert sehr intuitiv und es funktioniert in einer angemessenen Distanz einwandfrei. Bin zufrieden.
