Obviously Noble is perfectly capable of produceing hand built IEMs, as our K10 demo products are just that.
IEMs are purchased, in advance and in bulk via distributors. We believe that satisfying direct customer demands and distributor demands would be too overwhelming.
Not really, the answer is essentially the same. Yes, our Universal IEMS use an injected mold, which speeds up the build process. It also insures the quality of each shell is the same through out. The K10 internal parts do not fit the Universal shell, and due to that, we would have to "hand build" each and every K10 Universal IEM. Thus again, we believe that supporting direct customer orders, and supporting distributor orders would overwhelm Noble. Thus, we do not offer a hand built universal K10 at this point in time.
What we DO NOT KNOW, is if the amount of orders for a Universal K10 would JUSTIFY, having an injected molded shell designed and built specifically for the K10. The costs for such a task is rather high.
