Noble Audio Introduces New Multi-Driver Knight IEMs With An Entry-Level Price Tag
Buying a pair of In-Ear Monitors, such as the recently launched Campfire Audio Clara IEMs, will set you back $2,000. They sound great but not everyone is willing to drop that much on a pair of posh earbuds. However, if you want a high-performance pair of multi-driver IEMs but you can't or won't pay a high price tag, then the new Noble Audio Knight IEMs might be just what you've been looking for. For the past decade, Noble Audio has been building a reputation for itself by making some excellent IEMs aimed at discerning audiophiles at the top end of the market. The company has a passion for making hand-crafted IEMs with both universal and custom fits. Custom fit IEMs are molded to suit an individual's ears, while universal IEMs use ear-tips of different sizes to suit all ears. With the launch of the new Knight IEM, Noble Audio is taking aim at the growing market for entry-level market for IEMs. Plenty of people want the subtleties and sophistication of multi-driver IEMs but without the eye-watering price tag. By producing an affordable pair of multi-driver IEMs, without compromising on sound and build quality, Noble Audio hopes to bag a slice of this growing market. Historically, knights in shining armor were members of the nobility and warriors whose job it was to protecting a kingdom and its subjects. Knights were expected to embody honesty and chivalry. It's the honesty that Noble is chasing on with the Knight IEMs thanks to their carefully engineered response at a sensible price. With Noble Audio's rich signature sound , the Knight IEMs offer a premium performance at an accessible price without compromising on sound quality. Encased in an aluminum shell with a striking three-dimensional acrylic faceplate in deep purple and blue, the Knight IEMs strike a bold look. Designed to offer clarity and a rich audio performance, the Knight IEMs are fitted with a dual-magnet, dynamic 10mm driver in each earpiece. This robust driver can elevate the power of the overall audio performance while serving up a deep and controlled bass and sub-bass which creates a more immersive listening experience. Alongside the dynamic drivers, Noble Audio has selected a Sonion balanced armature driver which has exceptional clarity as well as articulate mid-range frequencies. For the treble end of the sound, Noble has opted for a Piezo super tweeter that rounds things off with detailed high frequencies that provide the focus for a stereo soundstage. The Noble Knight IEMs are priced affordably, although the company says it hasn't cut corners on quality. The combination of all three drivers enables the Knight IEMs to adapt to a wide range of musical genres and can provide the kind of audio performance that will satisfy the demands of everyone from enthusiasts, audiophiles or casual listeners looking for an audio upgrade. The Knight IEMs ship with high-quality 8-core OCC cable with OFC silver plating. The cable is coated in a PU skin-friendly material and is detachable, using 0.78-2 pin connectors with L/R markings. The cable is terminated with a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn jack plug, although the detachable two-pin cable can be easily swapped out or upgraded with different cable and plug. The Noble Audio Knight IEMS are available to buy from and priced at $289 / £269 / €309 which is significantly less than many high-end and multi-driver IEMS.
