LAIDBACK LUKE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT…

"DJs ask me if I'm hooking up my iPod before I go on, it does look a bit like that but it's actually my in-ear monitoring set I use for DJing. It consists of a mini-mixer and custom-made in-ear phones. On the mini-mixer I pan the headphone signal all the way to the right and the booth to the left. This way I get two signals in one and create my ideal DJ monitoring environment within the in-ears!
"It damps the outside sound by 20db, which means I can have the volume really low. It totally saves my ears and I can jump into the studio and master a track even when I come straight from a gig. No peeping ears afterwards."
