# 3D In-Ear Monitors Klang's In-Ear Monitors Replicate Physical Instruments in Sonic Space By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-01-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inear-monitor References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/klang-fabrik-3d-monitors-in-ear/35732/) & [klang](http://www.klang.com/en/) The Klang [in-ear monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andromeda-10-inears) could be a blessing for gigging musicians who'd like to be able to hear their instrument and the rest of their band at safe and comfortable volume levels. Musicians often use headphones for this purpose, but this can isolate you from what else is going on around you on stage. This is where Klang's in-ears come in. This gadget can track up to eight musicians real-time and alter everyone's [stereo in-ear mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidizs-st2-pro-nebula) so that instruments move around in stereo space depending on where the actual physical instrument is. This means that if your band's attention-hungry lead guitarist decides to run across the stage during a song, you can hear him moving in your mix. If you decide to turn and face the bass player to better appreciate his mad slapping and popping chops, he will appear front and center in your mix. It's a pretty fascinating concept that could elevate the stage experience. Far from a gimmick, this [3D monitoring system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandbox) will help musicians get into the moment on stage and enable them to react naturally to the music and other stage goings-on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Audio Monitoring:** Opportunity to develop 3D audio monitoring systems for musicians and other live performers. - **Real-time Audio Tracking:** Opportunity to design real-time audio tracking systems that adjust volume levels according to the performer's position on stage. - **Personalized Audio Mix:** Opportunity to create personalized audio mix systems that cater to each member of a musical ensemble. ### Where This Applies - **Music Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to create advanced music hardware and software solutions for performing musicians. - **Audio Technology Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist to develop new tracking and processing technologies for 3D audio monitoring systems. - **Live Performance Industry:** Opportunities to create more immersive and dynamic stage experiences for performers through the use of 3D audio monitoring tech. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pro-Grade Musician In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyerdynamic-iems.md) - [Augmented Reality Headphones Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-headphones.md) - [Revolutionary In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionary-inear-monitors.md) - [High-Quality Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highquality-ear-monitors.md) - [Advanced In-Ear Monitor Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inear-monitor-technology.md) - [Professional-Grade In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-inear-monitors.md) - [High-Performance In-Ear Monitor Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-inear-monitor.md) - [Open-Backed In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fosi-audio-im4.md) - [Crowdfunded Audiophile Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flare-ears.md)
