  • Publication number: 20170134844
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides a method of manufacture of a custom fit in-ear module, including capturing an anatomical representation of a body part at a first location; transferring the stored data to a second electronic device positioned at a second location; forming a three-dimensional digital model from the stored data using the second electronic device; transforming the three-dimensional digital model, wherein the transforming comprises forming a cavity within the three-dimensional digital model, wherein the cavity is sized to receive an acoustic output member and one or more drivers; transferring the transformed three dimensional model to a third electronic device positioned at a third location; forming a body of an in-ear monitor using the transformed three dimensional model; and positioning the acoustic output member and one or more drivers within the formed body, wherein the acoustic output member and one or more drivers reside at least partially within the cavity.

  • Patent number: 9191758
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a custom-fit in-ear-monitor (IEM) is provided that utilizes a pre-tuned, single piece driver module to simplify fabrication and reduce cost while insuring that the performance of the IEM consistently meets the acoustic goals set for the device. During fabrication the driver module, the drivers coupled to the module's driver ports, and the crossover circuit are installed in a custom-fit IEM shell such that the module's acoustic output is aligned with the output surface of the IEM shell. After installing the device components within the IEM shell, the shell is sealed.
