Data Collection - Round x
Thank you all for voting in the previous rounds. I think this is it. The final round to help me figure it out. Please help me out ![]()
Faceplate Preference
- Pattern/Art faceplate - Something similar to the thieaudio and other brands faceplate involving Abalone shell pattern or Resin art of sorts on the plate.
- Metal faceplate with engraving - a simple laser engrave pattern, or machined in pattern with company/iem name at a corner of the faceplate.
- others
- Pattern/Art faceplate
- Metal Faceplate with CNC/Laser Engrave
- Transparent Faceplate
- Frosted / Matte Faceplate with logo or name
- Primary Shell colour finish with model/company name (Opaque, matte/glossy)
Driver implementation
- Single type - Multi DD
- Single type - Multi BA
- Hybrid - DD + BA
- Tribid - DD + BA + EST
- others
Sound Preference
- Neutral with Bass Boost
- V-Shaped
- Balanced
- Warm Boost
Bass Preference
- Subbass Dominant
- Midbass Dominant
- Balanced Bass
- More Midbass (idc about female vocals, open to micro Bloat) potential 200Hz or more shelf
- Warm Shelf / Bass glide (DD plays Sub and mid woofer till 500hz, Genelec Sub cut)
Ear gain peak preference
- 2k
- 2~2.5k
- 2.5~3k
- 3k
Ear Gain preference
- No Gain, No Pain, Treble is a cliff dive
- 4~5dB
- 6~8dB
- 8~10dB
Treble
- Referency
- Dark but Shimmer
- Dark
- Exciting/ Sparkles and Shimmers
System architecture
-
Sensitive (drivers will be impedance corrected, but still be mildly reactive to impedance by a tiny bit compared to non-zobelled drivers)
-
Less sensitive impedance at 1k is matched to amplifier’s comfortable output level (16/32ohms)
-
It can be a speaker load it could be a Helios or something worse than that
(you will probably need an amp capable of more than 500mw while also being an almost perfect amp (Output Impedance < 1ohms),
This option allows for my custom ISI tech (Immune System Impedance) basically makes the iem as flat as a resistor in impedance across the FR like X +/-0.2ohms level stable, This might drop the sensitivity by 10~30dB but it becomes an extremely stable load that will never react to a different amp or a cable change, the tonality chane will not exceed 0.3dB across the whole FR even if it was under a ridiculous 1kohm impedance.
Also this tech prevents crossover shift from external impedance.
- Sensitive
- Less Sensitive
- It can be a Speaker Load for all I care
Would you like Tuning Flexibility?
- Switches to change tuning
- Potentiometer to control SPL of Bass driver like JH…
- Others
I forgot one more Thing
Do you want bass to be vented out below 20Hz, or have max isolation with zero driver flex and have a filter to cut bass below 20Hz?
- 20Hz Filter
- Vent Bass below 20Hz
