Abstract
Described are in-ear monitoring (IEM) systems configured for audio performance environments requiring low audio latency and high scalability. IEM systems can include an audio channel allocation device that determines audio channel allocation for transmitting audio payload to IEM devices. Audio payload may be allocated to a radio frame based on, e.g., bit rate, modulation and coding scheme, latency/fidelity requirements, etc. IEM devices can include audio driver(s) configured to generate an audio output, a circuit configured to control audio output generation by the driver(s), in-ear portion(s), and a bodypack receiver. IEM devices can receive the audio allocation information, configure its circuit accordingly, receive audio payload carried in a carrier wave based on the allocation information, and generate the audio output based on the audio payload.
