“Hearing protection is difficult when you’re a DJ and singer”: Koven’s custom in-ear monitor setup

As both a vocalist and DJ, Koven’s Katie Boyle presents DJ sets that are a little different – and more technologically demanding – than a lot of electronic artists. Her on-stage setup is tailored around a need to both mix and monitor tracks, as well as sing over the top of the mix, with the ability to properly hear her own vocals as well staying tuned into the room and crowd reaction.

Earlier this year we met up with Boyle at the HQ of Patchwork London, the company behind Koven’s new custom in-ear monitoring system, which is designed to overcome these technical needs.
