Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Nady PEM-1000 Wireless Personal In-Ear Monitor System and
congratulations on your choice. This PEM-1000 offers all of the advantages of wireless
in-ear monitoring–mobility, more focused audio, freedom from feedback, and elimination
of transport
issues associated with conventional floor monitors–as well as the long-term
health benefits of safe listening levels. For the first time, a wireless in-ear monitor system
combines state-of-the-art advanced frequency synthesized UHF technology, high-end
performance, ease of use, and unprecedented affordability. The PEM-1000 offers a choice
of 100 user selectable UHF channels for the transmitter and receiver(s), as well as stereo
(MPX system) or mono mode transmission. This s
ystem is indispensable for live-stage
music performance, and is loaded with features previ
ously found only in units costing
several times more.

Warning
U
SING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
A
LWAYS USE A VOLUME LEVEL AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has established the following guidelines for
maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels (SPL) before hearing damage occurs:
90 dB SPL @ 8 hours
95 dB SPL @ 4 hours
100 dB SPL @ 2 hours
105 dB SPL @ 1 hour
110 dB SPL @ 1/2 h
our
115 dB SPL @ 15 minutes
A
void exposure to 120 dB SPL or greater or irreversible ear dam
age may result.
(Note: It is difficult to measure the SPL present at the eardrum in live sound applications. The volume
p
resent will be affected by the level setting of your PEM-1000R, the ambient stage sound from your
o
ther instruments and speakers, and the quality of and fit of your in-ear speakers.)
Always avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Use the following guidelines to us
e
t
his system safely:
1.
Turn up the volume to your earphones only enough to hea
r properly. The PEM-1000 can provide a hig
h
quality monitor mix at significantly lower decibel levels than floor monitors. Whenever possible, use
the system with the limiter in the PEM-1000R receiver ON.
2.
Just as with any in-ear monitor system, The PEM-1000 works best when used exclusively by all
performers on stage (without any wedges or side monitors). The high sound pressure levels produce
d
by floor monitors (especially if the band play
s loud) can bleed through the in-ear monitor ear-buds and
,
in the wor
st cases, hinder their effectiveness. Experiment with your overall mix to get the maximum
benefit from your PEM-1000.
3.
Turn down the volume immediately if you experience any pain or hearing discomfort or ringing in the
ears after use.
4.
Have an audiologist check your hearing and ears regularly. If you experience any wax buildup in your
ears, do not use the system until an audiologist examines your ears.
5.
Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infection. S
top using the
earphones if they cause discomfort or infection.
