“One of the key reasons I joined the team here at ASI was due to the great potential I see as end users embrace our 3DME system, which brings an in-ear monitoring solution that takes hearing protection and usability to the next level on stage,” stated Shapiro. “By using our patented Active Ambient technology, we are able to offer musicians the ability to hear more on stage without increasing the potential hazards to their ears.
