Invisity by Phonak is a popular invisible earpiece for broadcasters that is used to allow clear instant communication between director and presenters and/or guests. In this quick guide, I explain how fellow sound professionals and presenters themselves can best utilize this device.

5 Tips For The Sound Professional

1. Handling

The Invisity invisible earpiece - also sometimes called an 'ifb' or 'presenter earpiece' - is truly tiny, so it's important to ensure it is always stored carefully and transported using the mini-case provided. This minimizes the risk of loss or breakage, reducing your replacement spend.

Always try to have a clean workspace available for checking and cleaning Invisity, both before and after production.

2. Hygiene

Invisity sits right inside the user's ear canal, so it's important to keep it very clean. Use an alco wipe or a tissue that you have first moistened with disinfectant spray to wipe down the earpiece. Do not apply liquid directly to, or get it inside, the earpiece.

If the product's waxguard becomes clogged or worn out, change it immediately. If you don't, its performance and output volume may suffer.

3. Be prepared

Always check the earpiece's transmission performance and audio reception before any broadcast.

If using several earpieces for different presenters, it's helpful to differentiate these somehow. (i.e. tiny stickers or permanent marker dots on the casing). This both ensures their hygiene (people don't like the idea of using an earpiece that someone else has used) and makes sure you always provide the correct earpiece, set at the correct frequency, to the right presenter.

Once Invisity has been checking before a performance, I give it one last clean then pack back in its case until the start of the broadcast.

4. Dealing with the talent

Have your transmission frequencies set-up and Invisity's audio ready and switched on before the presenter arrives. This helps avoid unnecessary pre-broadcast stress.

It's also important how you 'present' Invisity to the presenter or guest. If you hand them the earpiece in an open case and already working and switched on, this gives them assurance and ensures you look professional. It also makes it obvious that Invisity is 'ready to go', and they can fit it straight in their ear.

If a presenter hasn't used an invisible earpiece before, I take a couple of minutes to advise them on how to fit and use it before we go on air (for example, we talk about their sitting position and which ear is best to use comfort- and camera-wise).

5. Wrapping up

Be sure to collect your earpieces back as soon as filming stops, then clean them and replace in their cases.

3 Tips For The Presenter

1. Inserting the earpiece

Place Invisity inside your preferred ear and to fit it gently twist the earpiece into place until it comfortably 'plugs' the ear canal.

2. Discomfort

If you feel any in-ear discomfort, tell your sound colleague immediately.

3. Soundcheck

Make sure you and your sound professional complete a quick audio check before filming.

I am putting together a recording studio...?

What else should I add to my list of things that I am going to buy? (let's pretend I already have an isolation booth)
Lexicon Omega Studio USB Audio Interface, Behringer HPM1000, Behringer MS16 Active Personal Monitor System, Audio Technica AT2020, Cakewalk Software Pyro, Reason 3.0, Akai MPD16 USB MIDI Pad Control Surface, Alesis Multimix 8 USB Mixer with USB Audio, Ultra 6350BK Microphone Stand with Boom, Peavy Dual Delta Fex Stereo Effects Processor, RaXXess Stoppit Pop Filter with Goose Neck (6 in.)

With this equipment and software, you may only have the capabilities to do personal guitar and vocal work. Aside from the computer, the most expensive and powerful toys of digital recording should be the software and interface hardware.

The Lexicon is a good starter interface, to get yourself practice recording. I strongly suggest getting something besides cakewalk. Cakewalk substitues abilities for being over-user friendly. Meaning a child could program it but it can't do much. I suggest using the Cubase LE software that came with the Lexicon.

Your Peavy effects rack will not be used much once you see all the VST effects on board Cubase. External effects should be something specificly off-the wall. Cubase already has reverbs, delays, chorus's, etc.

Once you practice with the Lexicon, upgrade to something with 6-8 simultaneous inputs. The omega has 2 XLR's. With 8 you can practice drums or full bands.

*look into what your computer needs for a dual monitor system. It makes life so much easier.
