Stage monitors are loudspeakers used by musicians and performers during live shows. They allow artists to hear themselves and other instruments clearly, ensuring they can stay in sync with the music. These monitors are typically positioned on the stage floor or mounted on stands, facing the performers. There are two main types of stage monitors: wedge monitors, which are angled speakers placed on the ground, and in-ear monitors, which are small earpieces worn by performers. Both types help reduce the risk of feedback and allow for better sound control, enhancing the overall performance experience.
