BubbleBee Sidekick broadcast earpiece
Transparent earpieces allow comms to be monitored without heavily isolating the user from the surrounding environment.
This makes them particularly useful in live sound and production environments where awareness of the PA and room remains important while still following comms.
Paired with the CAi-2, transparent IFB monitoring provides a practical solution for listening to comms alongside live audio without relying on fully isolating headphones.
Why we recommend it
Traditional headphones and isolating earpieces can make it difficult to maintain awareness of the room while monitoring comms.
Acoustically transparent earpieces provide a more natural monitoring experience, allowing engineers and operators to follow cues while still hearing the surrounding environment.
This workflow works particularly well when integrating comms into live mixing setups using the CAi-2.
