Noble Audio has launched a universal-fit version of its flagship 10-driver in-ear monitor (IEM). The new K10 (£999) follows the success of the range-topping custom-fit model and is now available as a handcrafted IEM in Noble’s signature universal form factor.

The K10 (Kaiser 10) is a ten-armature IEM and is a low- impedance four-way design with ten drivers working in unison. “The K10’s advanced driver array delivers a highly coherent presentation across a wide frequency range and delivers the best-ever performance from a portable IEM product” says the company’s latest press release.

The K10 design was first conceptualised several years ago. Noble Audio’s ‘Wizard’ (audiologist and co-owner Dr. John Moulton AuD CCC-A) and Noble’s Kaiser Soze, reverted back to their original design, using the knowledge they gained in recent years to refine the original product.

Despite packing an incredible ten drivers per side, the K10 is no larger than any other universal product in the Noble Audio range, sharing the same form factor as its IEM stable- mates. The K10 is also hand-finished — just like a custom Noble Audio IEM product, or the ‘Wizard’ IEMs, the look and feel of the body is seamless; the K10 is characteristically Noble.

The K10 is constructed from high-quality acrylic with gold-plated pentalobe screws. It features a detachable two-pin cable and has a 35-ohm impedance. Supplied accessories include the Storm Box (crush-proof carrying case); 12 pairs of ear tips (four kinds in three sizes); two Noble Audio bands or amp bands; a cleaning tool; a Noble cable and an ownership card.
