Ear tips, clips and cabling that keep wireless monitoring rigs on the road. The bulk of the section is Sennheiser’s official ear tips for the IE 40, IE 100, IE 400 and IE 500 Pro earphones, sold in five-pair packs across small, medium and large, in both memory foam and silicone, with the sizes colour-coded so a monitor engineer can grab the right pair at a glance.

Tips are the consumable that decides how the whole system sounds. Foam seals deeper and isolates more, at the cost of faster wear; silicone lasts longer, washes clean and suits hire stock where earphones move between users. Size affects more than comfort: a poor seal drains bass response and pushes performers into turning their packs up, which is exactly how monitoring levels creep over a tour. Keep all three sizes in the workbox and treat five-pair packs as consumables rather than a one-off purchase.

The Sennheiser XSW IEM belt clip is the metal replacement clip for the XSW IEM EK bodypack receiver, locating in dedicated holes on each side of the pack and sold as a replacement for a lost or damaged original. Audio Technica’s AT-GcW guitar input cable connects an instrument’s quarter-inch output to Audio Technica bodypack transmitters via the locking four-pin cW connector, so match it to your specific bodypack before ordering. The earphones these tips fit are in the IEM category, with wireless transmitters and receivers alongside.
