Representing Noble Audio's flagship universal-fit in-ear monitor (IEM), the new lauminium- chassis, 10-driver Kaiser 10U is now shipping directly. Replacing the acrylic K10U, the Kaiser 10U is a 10-armature, low impedance, four-way design that's claimed to deliver a wide frequency range and the best-ever performance from a portable IEM. The 10 drivers are assigned to bass, midrange, mid/high, high and super-high frequencies and the IEMs are claimed to have an impedance less than 35ohm. Featuring a detachable cable with industry-standard two-pin configuration, a Pelican 1010 case (which is claimed to be crush-proof), a black velvet soft pouch, 12 pairs of ear tips (four kinds in three different sizes), two Noble Audio bands or amp bands, a cleaning tool and an ownership card, the K10U is available to buy now for £1,150.
