Traditional IFB earpieces create a constant compromise in production: either accept visible earpieces in your shots, or lose the ability to communicate with talent during takes. The Sidekick 3 In-Ear Monitor eliminates this choice by delivering IFB capability that's genuinely invisible to modern cameras.
Designed and tested to be undetectable at 4K resolution and beyond, the Sidekick 3 sits deep in the ear canal where even close-up shots won't reveal it. The low-profile design uses skin-toned components and careful engineering to disappear against the ear—no telltale wires or bulky housings.
Comfort matters when talent wears IFB for extended periods. The Sidekick 3 uses soft silicone construction and multiple eartip styles to accommodate different ear anatomies. Actors, presenters, and on-camera talent report comfortable all-day wear without fatigue or irritation.
Audio quality matches professional expectations. Clear speech reproduction ensures that director notes, producer cues, and safety calls come through without distortion or missed words. When communication matters, the Sidekick 3 delivers.
Available in Mono and Stereo configurations. The Mono version works with standard IFB systems, while the Stereo option supports split-feed applications where different audio needs to reach each ear. Designed in Denmark by sound professionals who understand production demands.
