July 23, 2000Shure Incorporated, the leading manufacturer of microphones and
audio electronics, today announced that the PSM 400 Personal Monitor System and the P4M
Personal Monitor Mixer are now shipping. Shure's PSM 400 and P4M are two ground-breaking and
affordable products that make it possible for working musicians to gain control of what they hear
onstage by creating personal, in-ear monitor mixes. The new products are being sold in complete
Personal Performance Packs and as individual components to allow musicians to build their own
systems.
The PSM 400 provides an alternative to traditional floor wedge monitoring and shares the
hallmarks of Shure's family of high quality, professional PSM systems used by touring artists
worldwide. A short list of performers who have adopted Shure PSM systems include Beck, Roger
Daltrey of The Who, Korn, Christina Aguilera, The Judds, Barenaked Ladies, Tom Jones, and
Sheryl Crow.
The new system, like its predecessors, offers: a personal mix free of unwanted stage sounds;
individual volume and balance controls; a freedom of movement that releases performers from
standing in only one spot onstage; and an ease of portability far greater than bulky floor wedge
monitors. Furthermore, PSM systems, when used properly, can aid performers in hearing
conservation. These many benefits are further enhanced by the P4M mixer, which brings complete
control of the in-ear mix right to the stage.
"Personal monitors have been so incredibly successful that you rarely spot a touring performer
going onstage without being plugged into earphones, " said Steve Johnson, Vice President of
Marketing for Shure Incorporated. "As the market leader, we knew it was time to create a more
affordable version for the working musician."
