Jeremy Passion is a singer/songwriter born and raised in San Francisco, CA — and one of the pioneers of the acoustic R&B movement online. Over the last 15 years, he has performed in more than 35 countries alongside artists including Colbie Caillat, Kirk Franklin, Tori Kelly, Bobby Valentino, and Jo Koy. He has also released a catalog of videos and albums that have earned him a loyal global following.

Jeremy has been part of the Alclair family for years. We asked him about his experience and what keeps him coming back.

Jeremy Passion on His Alclair Setup

Jeremy uses two models depending on the role he’s playing:

I own the Studio 3’s and the Reference Triple Drivers. The Studio 3’s are great for when I’m singing and playing my acoustic guitar live with a band. The soundscape is big and the quality is crisp and clear on all levels. The Reference Triple Drivers are the set I usually use when I’m playing keys for church. I love how I could hear everything even when there are multiple instruments playing on stage.

That distinction, one model for performance, one for supporting a larger ensemble, is something we hear often from musicians who wear multiple hats. The right monitor shifts depending on what you need to hear and what you need the monitor to do.

Performing With Confidence

I’ve had my share of floor-monitor mishaps for the majority of my career as a singer and it’s important to be able to focus on the music and performance instead of worrying about how it sounds. I’ve had to over-sing or under-perform trying to clearly hear myself on stage so having my Alclairs by my side takes out the worry and provides me with clear sound that can allow me to do my thing with no anxiety.

Jeremy Passion

That is the whole point. The best monitor is the one you forget about because it is doing exactly what you need, every time, without asking you to compensate for it.

The Alclair Experience

I’ve recommended Alclair to many of my friends the past few years. Aside from a great price point for what you’re paying for, the customer service was always a plus for me. Everything from working with me to get my custom faceplates to recommendations on the types of monitors that would fit my needs best — it’s been a great experience. It really feels like you’re talking to real people that are passionate about sound.

Jeremy Passion

That is what we aim for every day. A product that performs, backed by people who are genuinely invested in your outcome.

IEMs for Singers and Acoustic Artists

Jeremy’s setup highlights something important for vocalists and acoustic guitarists: you need a monitor that handles a wide frequency range cleanly, without exaggerating any one part of the spectrum. Acoustic guitar spans the full range. Vocals need presence and warmth without muddiness. The right monitor for that combination is one that gives you an honest, clear picture of everything happening on stage.
