Noble K10 (custom), Heir Audio 10.A (custom), Noble Savant
« on: August 23, 2015, 10:45:42 AM »

Got some IEMs, measured them. K10 custom and 10.A custom

Measurement setup is a Vibrolabs Veritas and Behringer UM2 USB Audio Interface. Software used is Room EQ Wizard.

Never mind the smoothing, what is up with that 20dB division scale?

We're going to need to put rules in place regarding measurements. S/N ratio is dropping when people post random stuff

Wait until the new site. Measurement posts will require moderator approval and even before that, a post describing the measurement rig and process. Should be a short Q&A form to fill out so all questions are answered. Not doubting the results, but as Jude says: different measurement rigs, different results.

They almost look all the same, don't they?
Don't know about the 10.A, but people that reviewed the Savant and had the K10 said that the Savant had noticeable less bass than the K10....

Anyways, I think it's always nice that other people are measuring their stuff, maybe you just need to tweak one thing or another  :money:

You zoom back far enough and everything looks the same. Eventually you end up in Bigshot territory where everything sounds the same too.

Vibrolabs Veritas do they provide instructions how to set it up and provide ideal curve and capsule compensation curve.
Vibrolabs says easy measurement but dont say anything about soundcard and other stuff.
