The present invention relates to direct voice and instrument monitoring systems and methods of use thereof.
Claims21
A direct personal monitor comprising:
- a transmitter unit consisting essentially of:
- a first audio connector for receiving audio signals from a single audio source;
- a second audio connector for transmitting said audio signals to a sound modulating device;
- and
- a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled with the first audio connector and configured to receive said audio signals and to wirelessly transmit said audio signals received from the first audio connector directly to a receiver while also allowing said audio signals to pass through to the second audio connector;
- wherein the transmitter unit splits or duplicates the audio signals received from the first audio connector to produce a first signal component that is transmitted wirelessly by the wireless transmitter to the receiver, and a second signal component that is passed through to the second audio connector.

A direct personal monitoring system comprising:
- a microphone having a male XLR audio connector;
- a transmitter unit consisting essentially of:
- a female XLR audio connector for receiving audio signals from the microphone;
- a male XLR audio connector for transmitting said audio signals to a sound modulating device;
- and
- a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled with the female XLR audio connector and configured to receive said audio signals and to wirelessly transmit said audio signals received from the female XLR audio connector directly to a receiver while also allowing said audio signals to pass through to the male XLR audio connector;
- wherein the female XLR audio connector of the transmitter unit is detachably coupled to the male XLR audio connector of the microphone, and
- wherein the transmitter unit splits or duplicates the audio signals received from the female XLR audio connector to produce a first signal component that is transmitted wirelessly by the wireless transmitter to the receiver, and a second signal component that is passed through to the male XLR audio connector.

A direct personal monitoring system comprising:
- a musical instrument having a female ¼″ TRS audio connector;
- a transmitter unit consisting essentially of:
- a male ¼″ TRS audio connector for receiving audio signals from the musical instrument;
- a female ¼″ TRS audio connector for transmitting said audio signals to a sound modulating device;
- and
- a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled with the male ¼″ TRS audio connector and configured to receive said audio signals and to wirelessly transmit said audio signals received from the male ¼″ TRS audio connector directly to a receiver while also allowing said audio signals to pass through to the female ¼″ TRS audio connector;
- wherein the male ¼″ TRS audio connector of the transmitter unit is detachably coupled to the female ¼″ TRS audio connector of the musical instrument, and
- wherein the transmitter unit splits or duplicates the audio signals received from the male ¼″ TRS audio connector to produce a first signal component that is transmitted wirelessly by the wireless transmitter to the receiver, and a second signal component that is passed through to the female ¼″ TRS audio connector.
