As mentioned before
The Wizard has been busy.
I think it it was over 2 years ago, I was approached by a distributor of ours to build a low driver count iem that could be used in the artist industry.
This particular distributor core competency is in the music industry. The challenge was accepted & we took a lot of time bringing together supliers and getting the drivers we wanted for this specific product.
The name chosen, "Zephyr" (god of the western wind).
Zephyr was the Greek god of the west wind, which was considered the gentlest wind, especially if compared to the colder north wind, Boreas. The warm west wind brought the spring season. Even today the name of the god means a warm and light breeze. Zephyr was the father of two immortal horses, Xanthus and Balius.
We chose the name as the sound quality is natural like the wind, and... well... i just thought the name sounded cool. Not to mention the Lincoln Zephyr looks awesone.
As we were getting everything organized, the world went into lock down mode, rather than wait as supliers could open again, I began making housings by hand (prestige).
My brother Jim would CNC the blocks & I would lower the internals in and do the finishing work.
This video, is actually a Zephyr being built.
What is being officially released on September 4th is the CIEM version (Zephyr Pro) & the Prestige Universal.
The standard housing is in development now, and will be an aluminum housing.
The Zephyr AKA "Giant Killer" is really a surprising product, it is a testament of what can be achieved with carefully selected and implemented drivers.
For the most part, over the last 6 months, beautiful photos have been posted, without any explanation as to the model/internal designs...
Those photos were actually universal Prestige Zephyr's.
