But if they let me name it I would come up with something like...PM1, PM1.1, PM 1.2 or something goofy like "Dude" , "Wow" or "Totally Awsome!". So that is why they keep me in the lab. 
When Dr. Brad Cochlear and I start a prototype we name it. There isn't anyone else in the lab so it is first come first serve. The original code names that we came up with for IMAGE and Custom series was Elite and Dr. Pepper. Yeah I know Dr. P is trademarked but we wouldn't sell it with that name. It is just for our fun.
The story is that we had an opportunity to do a high quality low cost 2 way which is Custom 2. The next number to come up was Custom 3. Boring story but that is the way it came down. |
I'm sorry, but the Klipsh marketing department needs an overhaul! Not only is the name "custom" misleading as these are not true custom IEMs but the "3" in custom 3 is also misleading as it leads people to believe its a triple driver IEM.
It is disappointing to see such disastrous marketing!!! Hopefully the product is good to make up for it!
