# IEM Rig

> IEM Rig is a free, browser-based planner for in-ear monitor (IEM) and playback rigs: drag real rack gear into a virtual rack and it generates the wiring — the patch and cable list — plus cost, power and weight totals and a printable PDF rack plan. Built for musicians, monitor engineers and technicians; no account required.

Key facts:

- Drag-and-drop rack planning with real hardware (verified rack units, I/O, power draw, weight and price per device)
- Automatic wiring: generates the patch and cable list, not just the rack elevation
- Signal-flow validation: loopback, phantom-power budget, sample-rate mismatch and power-circuit checks
- Rig cost tracking with a bill of materials (gear + cables)
- PDF export: cover sheet, rack layout, stage/off-rack load-in list, BOM, patch list and warnings
- Community rig gallery with public, remixable rigs
- Free, no account needed to start; installable as a PWA and works on a phone
- Catalog: 329 devices from 96 manufacturers across 36 categories
