A complete catalog of real gear.
Not a box-drawing tool with generic rectangles. Every unit is a real product, with the dimensions, the power draw and the exact ports on the back.
Search 329 components, not categories.
Browse by group, filter by brand, price or the gear you already own — or just start typing. The search survives a typo, so “sennnheiser” still finds the Sennheisers.
Not in the catalog? It will be in a minute.
Search for something we do not have yet and the dead end turns into an offer. Describe the unit and AI builds it — chassis, faceplate, rack units, power draw and a full port map — then drops it straight into your rack.
Every one gets flagged for review, so the next person searching for it just finds it.
Not in the catalog — want us to build it?
The brands you already own.
96 manufacturers, from the Behringer in the back of the van to the Wisycom in the flight case. Filter to one brand and see everything of theirs we hold.
Every spec the plan depends on.
Rack units, weight, power draw, port map, street price. This is the data the bill of materials totals, the power calculation warns on, and the health check reads when it tells you something will not fit.

Wire the whole rack. See the whole signal.
The back of the rack is where a plan stops being a shopping list and starts being a rig.
Every cable, drawn where it actually goes.
Flip to Back View and the rear panels are the real ones — the actual jacks, in the actual positions. Drag from one to another and you have a connection, coloured by signal type: green for analog audio, red for power, on down the legend.
Or let auto-wire take the first pass.
Auto-wire reads the rack and proposes the patch — IEMs to their transmitters, mixer to the splitter, everything to power. You approve a preview before a single cable lands, and anything it got wrong is one drag from fixed.

Label the ports the way your crew says them.
Rename any jack to what it actually carries — Kick, Snare Split, IEM 3 — and tape it a colour. Those labels ride the rack into every view and out the other side onto the patch sheet.
Edit your rig by describing the change.
“Add a PSM1000.” “Remove one of the Sennheiser IEMs.” “Wire it up.” Type the change and watch it happen to the rack in front of you.
Tell your rig what to change — “add a PSM1000”, “remove one of the Sennheiser IEMs”, “wire it up”
Click any jack and get the whole story.
Connector, direction, signal type, channel count, which face it is on, what it draws in phantom power — plus what is on the other end of the cable, and a way to follow it there.

It's a playground.
There is no blank-page problem here. Start from the rack you already own, from a template, from a sentence — or from nothing at all.
Everything else in the case.
Version history
Every change is a version. Scrub back through the timeline and restore any of them — restoring never loses work, because the state you are leaving is saved too.
Make it yours
Paint the case, choose the metal, add road wear, cover it in stickers. The rack that comes out looks like a rack you own.
Simplified mode
Detailed faceplates are the default. Switch to gear labels instead when you want the plan to read as a plan.
Bill of materials
Every unit, every price, one total — with share, publish and PDF export in the same panel.
Rig health
Continuous checks for the things that bite: a unit that will not fit, power you do not have, a jack wired to nothing. Click a finding and it spotlights the exact jack.
Rig summary
Rack units used, estimated cost, peak power draw and total weight — live, in the corner of the canvas.
Browse the catalog.
Every component has its own page with full ports, weight, power draw and pricing — fully indexed, so a search for “Shure PSM1000 setup” or “Allen & Heath dLive C2500 ports” lands directly on the answer.

Frequently asked questions.
Is IEM Rig free to use?
Yes. The full planner — drag-and-drop, auto-wire, signal flow, power and weight calculation, PDF export — is free, no account needed. A free account adds cloud sync for up to 3 rigs, and IEM Rig Pro adds more rigs, branded exports, and a bigger AI allowance.
Do I have to install anything?
No. IEM Rig runs entirely in the browser. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on iOS, Android, and desktop for a native-app experience offline.
What gear is in the catalog?
329 components from 96 manufacturers across 36 categories — wireless IEM systems, digital mixers, stage boxes, audio interfaces, antenna distros, power conditioners, splitters, and more.
Can I share my rig with my team?
Yes. Every rig has a shareable link, and signed-in users can publish rigs to the public gallery at /g for the rest of the community to view, remix, and learn from.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The mobile UI is a first-class experience: pinch to zoom the rack, single-finger pan, tap-and-hold to drag gear, and bottom-sheet drawers for catalog browsing. Install it to your home screen for offline access.
Can I import an existing rack design?
Yes — point your phone camera at your physical rack and the AI scan feature identifies the gear and assembles a starter design you can edit. It also captures wiring intent so signal flow is mostly there before you start adjusting.
