In Ear Monitor Faceplate

If you need in ear monitor and and don't want to spend over $ Then this is your solution.

I now have 4 Astras, 2 with the Chimera universal LED Lightbank and 2 with the LitePanels Snapbag. Here are the differences...1) The Chimera blocks the Astra's side vents unless you prop the sides of the Chimera over the knobs (kind of a pain). The Snapbag does not block the vents at all. 2) The Chimera uses an opaque plastic faceplate to maintain the soft box's shape. Unless diffused, the light can add a sheen to on-camera talent. The Snapbag has a metal frame and uses a cloth faceplate available in 3 different densities. Faceplates on both units are attached with velcro. 3) The Chimera is lighter weight and less expensive than the Snapbag. 4) A 50 degree grid is available for the Chimera. A 40 degree grid is available for the Snapbag. Bottom line...you can get pretty much the same look from both soft boxes, but you'll work a lot harder to get it with the Chimera. For the LitePanels Astra, the Snapbag is the better choice.

Everything fits in one bag. It's easy to carry and lightweight. The faceplate in one of the lights disperses the light evenly throughout the soft box. A great alternative to carrying studio strobes and modifiers.

I love this product! This help me a lot along side with the XL version. The Halloween faceplate is AMAZING

These work great for the Rokit G4! Took a minute to figure out how to get the faceplate off, but once that was figured out it was a quick and easy process.

Changing the battery couldn't be easier: loosen a single screw, slide off the faceplate to the UPS, disconnect the battery, pull on the tabs to slide the battery cartridge out of the unit, and reverse the process. I appreciate thoughtful design like this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hub was easy to install and worked as designed. The faceplate setup was simple. It replaced a hub that wasn't pleasing to the eyes.

I bought this box to use with in ear headphones as I play on the worship team at church. I play electric guitar and sing, so this works perfectly to let me hear a general mix, my voice, and my guitar. Having the more me knobs available to me is so much simpler than asking the sound guys to turn me up or just singing louder. I can hear every nuance of my playing and singing now, which is a little scary. :) I can tell if I'm singing off axis or too far from the mike when I close my eyes. The sound quality and build quality are amazing. I take a copy of the monitor feed sent to our drummer since we don't have another monitor bus on our sound board. So this is a great, inexpensive solution to our problem. I like that there is a lot of head room on the pots. I turned each of them up to only about 9 o'clock or noon.

We use them with our E5 ear buds and a Sennheiser in-ear monitor system. These units are preferred by my band and vocal team for their superior fit.

I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.
