1. An in-ear monitoring system, comprising:

  • first and second in-ear assemblies, each in-ear assembly comprising;

    an outside microphone configured to receive acoustic energy from an acoustic environment external to a wearer of the first and second in-ear assemblies and convert the acoustic energy into corresponding ambient electrical signals;

    a voice channel microphone configured to be acoustically coupled to the wearer and to receive acoustic signals generated by the wearer and selectively configurable to convert the acoustic signals into first voice electrical signals;

    a communication subsystem configured to receive a mix of acoustic electrical signals and to selectively transmit the first voice electrical signals;

    a digital signal processing (DSP) circuit configured to receive the ambient electrical signals and the mix of acoustic electrical signals, and to further process the ambient electrical signals and the mix of acoustic electrical signals according to in-ear assembly processing parameters to provide an output signal; and

    an output transducer configured to receive the output signal and convert the output signal into an acoustic signal heard by the wearer.
