Custom IEM Sound You Can Shape
For decades, demanding touring professionals have trusted JH Audio to put their mix in their ears exactly as it should sound. Bundled with the Ruby 2 in-ear monitor (IEM), the Pearl Tri Amp Micro Speaker Management System is a natural evolution of this relationship. The system features the Pearl Processor, a compact beltpack unit that, together with the accompanying control software and loader program, offers full customization of your IEMs’ sound profile. The Ruby 2 ensures you get the best from that control, built to deliver expansive audio with 10 precision-engineered drivers per side for deep, punchy lows and pristine clarity across a 10Hz–20kHz frequency range. Together, the pair enables you to reproduce or create a fully custom audio signature tuned to your needs. You can dial in the EQ curve, adjust gain, phase, and time, and even set independent levels for each ear. It’s a level of adjustability hard to find in monitoring rigs, putting full customization of the onstage experience firmly in your hands.

Build your own experience
The Pearl system is an innovation born from years of experience creating custom IEMs for touring professionals. It consists of three parts: the Pearl Processor unit, the Pearl Control Software, and the Pearl Loader program, each working to provide complete control over what you hear on the stage. Available on Windows and macOS, the control software provides precise controls for gain, phase, and time, along with dynamic equalization for low, mid, and high frequencies, plus independent level control for each ear. You can also program user-defined instant presets and load and dial in JH Audio–created presets released on a rolling basis. Once crafted, the Pearl Loader function sends your parameters to the Pearl Processor pack over USB-C, with the added benefit of instant preset switching. The dynamic processor pack’s tri-amp design then powers your choices right from your hip, reforging the Ruby 2 IEMs with your signature sound.
JH Audio: perfection through innovation
A forefather of the innovation behind custom in-ear monitors (CIEM), Jerry Harvey founded JH Audio in 2007, initially creating custom aviation headsets to improve in-flight communication for pilots like himself. Jerry's roots in live audio engineering drew him back to music, where he set out to meet the professional touring industry's demand for fresh IEM designs. Debuting one groundbreaking design after another, JH Audio cornered the CIEM market — a fitting outcome, given that Jerry's first IEM design introduced the multi-driver CIEM, which he originally crafted for Alex Van Halen in the mid-1990s. Eventually, JH Audio set its sights on the then-untapped universal-fit IEM (UIEM) market and, to this day, remains dedicated to technological innovation and visually stunning design, backed by extensive proprietary technology, custom finishes, and handcrafted shells. Sweetwater is proud to bring you the boundary-pushing craftsmanship of JH Audio, whose dedication to creating high-quality sonic experiences for its customers mirrors our own.
