That's a lot of drivers crammed in there

I wonder how this'll affect 1964ADEL.

I have no expertise in patents but it seems to me the patent is very generically broad and appears to cover quite a few brands who make or plan to make 8 driver IEMs. It will be interesting to see what happens.
My V12 order was buffed today--step 9. There's nothing more they can do but insert the module when it arrives and ship it out. If they do that next week I won't be home. Oh well, maybe there will be a present waiting when I return on April 1. Hope it's not an April Fools joke.
Actually, I was wrong! I just checked on Kickstarter and the last comment from 1964Ears said:
Hello Everyone,
We want to give you a quick update on production of A12, A10 models. Our sound tubing supplier sent us the wrong size of tube multiple times which set back production a few days. We are currently on track and moving forward.
The modules from our manufacturer are being produced as we speak and we expect the delivery of the first batch of modules on 3/18/15.
We have a dedicated ADEL team assembling A10 & A12 models, we are on track to start shipping orders on 3/20/15.
If any delays should occur we will keep you posted.
Here are some images of the assembly of A12, A10 IEMs.
So they should already be shipping. Mine have been buffed but as of now have not shipped.
Dear Backers,
We would like to update you on the progress of U-series products. We are currently in the process of finishing the design sound signatures on the U4, U5, U6, U8.
We are in the midst of deciding which method of production would yield best results for the U-Series shell housing. We are looking at the two options, 3D printing and injection molding. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, we are currently weighing our options.
In addition to the progress update we are very excited present the new case design. Please take a look at the video to learn more: https://youtu.be/n20c8eyrXDs
Thank you for your support and being patient. Stay tuned for more updates.
