Today our blog is going to be something different. We want to tell you something that happened a few months ago

 

In the middle of May, we received a very special visit in our audiological centre. Aitana Ocaña, from the well-known talent show "Operación Triunfo 2017". She came to see us with a very specific request, and we were able to inform and advise her.

She had in front of her an immersion in the creation and recording the songs for her album (which we now know :), at the same time that she would act on several important stages, in Spain and in South America. For that reason, we had to ensure one of the most critical situation of a live musical performance, the monitoring.

 

 
In order to do this, sound tests are carried out during rehearsals, where one of the main tasks is for the vocalist, because he/she has be able to listen both to the music and to himself or herself. 
 
This task is carried out because the loudspeakers that transmit the music which is being played are, logically, directed towards the audience, leaving the musicians with little or no reference to the sound that they are playing. This situation is often due to the fact that the noise generated in the environment, by the audience, is higher than that produced by the speakers (which, as we have explained, are directed to the spectators). In this way, the musicians are not able to listen to each other, so they could play uncoordinated or even out of tune.
 
So what's the solution? Aitana had some definite ideas about. To solve this problem, there are the In-ears: a monitoring system that gives the musician the necessary reference to be able to sing and play while listening to the sound that they are emitting. Thus, through headphones, they can forget the problem of not listening on stage, and enjoy the audience to the fullest.
 
The In-ears must be well adjusted and totally comfortable, due to the fact that it is a totally custom or personalized product. That is why we took the measurements of Aitana's ears, with the same green paste that many of you already know, in order to achieve the perfect adjustment to her external auditory canal.
 
 
 
In this way, we get perfect in-ears for her, and her hearing experience.
In addition, with in-ears several other advantages are obtained such as: a perfect isolation, this is, the external noise does not interfere with the sound that is heard through this gadget, at the same time that the musician protects, preserves his hearing health and controls the sound that he emits.
It seems that Aitana experienced good sensations with them on stage, because a few days later we were visited by her partner in the academy Roi Méndez, an artist to whom we also manufacture custom or personalized in-ears.
 
By the smile with which both left, we saw the illusion that made them have their own personalized in-ears to continue giving everything in their concerts with their fans.
