How to Make DIY In-Ear Monitors with 1 Dynamic Driver + 1 Balanced Armature Driver (Budget-Friendly)
Вставка

- In this video, I show you how to make your own in-ear monitors (IEMs) with one dynamic driver and one balanced armature driver. This is a beginner-friendly project that is very easy to make, and the results are excellent. I use a Sonion 2354 balanced armature driver as the main driver, and a 10 millimeter dynamic driver as a bass extension. This gives the IEMs a BA-like sound with excellent detail, clean and good bass and sub-bass.
I also provide the shell 3D asset in the video description, so you can easily print your own shells.
Here is a step-by-step overview of the process:
1. Shell modeling, printing, and polishing.
2. Installing the drivers to the shell, wiring, and tuning.
3. Finishing.
If you're interested in learning how to build your own IEMs, or if you're just curious to see how it's done, I hope this video helps and entertains you!

lets go, we have some commentary now 👍
Could you make a video on tuning process
Hey, great video btw if you could make a video explaining the Tuning process it would be a greatly helpful. looking forward to your future projects good luck.
I'll consider making that.
@@kozh4013doing a more in-deph technical explanation on the tuning process will more certainly help. Thank you for the content btw love you vids.
Nice video.
Thank you
great video, can you help me if the driver pcb get off from the driver, can it still attach again?
How much did you spend for the bare parts in this build?
Is possible to make a open back iem ?
Im interested in learning how to tune with the capacitors and resistance. is there any book or material that you recomend?
Many articles on the internet explain how RC filter circuits work. I recommend you start from there if you haven't already
Great video! What kind of laquer do you use and where do you get it?
I use Nicefit lacquer. I bought it at a Chinese store on Taobao
I just found your channel, and amazed with your work. Subbeb 👍
Thank you
what a great project, i do wish that you can make a tutorial and explanation about the tuning circuit you mention, in my country Indonesia it's pretty hard to find those driver so i need to use driver i can find here to keep it "budget friendly". i worried that the use of different driver need a different components for that circuit, so i guess it would be very helpful to understand the concept so i can choose the right components for my build. thanks in advance
and also what is that small tube called or commonly used, I couldn't find it here
Yeah, different shells or drivers will need slightly different tuning
I've already done experimenting with 2BAs IEM budget friendly and easy to make. Only need a capacitor for crossover. The result is very very good. Stay tuned for that
Great video, can you make a 2dd iem? Thanks 😊
Great idea. I'll put it in the list.
Where do you buy drivers? And how do you choose dynamic drivers? I searched dynamic drivers a lot, but the only ones I found which have normal naming like *manufacturer/brand name* *model name* were only the Huayunxin drivers but yours don't seem like Huayunxin drivers so I'm curious what they are.
In my region, I can only purchase DD from the Chinese website Taobao. There are only a few stores that sell them there. I prefer LCP type diaphragm
ooooo this is a great video! I found this inspiring and would like to make one my own. can I use a regular pla 3d printer for the shell? The resin printer is down for the next few months. Thanks!
Your only option is resin 3d printer because pla can't print very small detail
hmm true, well looks like i have to wait until next month. Thanks tho@@kozh4013
what tools did you use like keychain infrared
The UV light? I got it with the UV glue
Can i use ceramic capacitor for this ?
Yes
Sorry I have a question ❓
How do you balence the volume Btwin left and right ear 👂
And thank you ☺️
I use a measurement mic for measuring the frequency response. Both sides should have the same frequency responses or within margin that acceptable
do you have a tuning tutorial? how much does it cost to make if I do it without the special microphone for tuning?
Cost less than $20. Unfortunately I don't have videos explain about the tuning process and am very busy at work so don't have the time to make videos about that atm
What rc filter did you use on this project? I assume you used both high and low pass filter is that true?
Low pass for DD and high pass for BA but only used it to lower mid bass. Still allowed some low frequency passes through.
Can you tell me what capacitor is needed so that the DD (32ohm) does not play above 200 Hz. thanks in advance!
I recommend you play with everycircuit.com or other similar software. Make the circuit, adjust R and C values and see how the output frequency. That's the good way to get started with basic
@@kozh4013 thanks you bro!!
Friend what type of laquer did you use?
It's Nicefit
What 3d printer you are using?
Just a cheap common $100 3d printer. Brand is voxelab
@@kozh4013Thanks . Is it resin based?
@@naren.freak1c yep
Hi, I recently just build my own IEM with 1 Dynamic Driver and 1 Balance Armature driver, i used to run the BA with another DD and it just work fine, sounds beautiful and everything. but i upgraded the DD which usually works perfectly too but somehow when i combine them with the BA they create a pretty noticable static noise. how can i reduce it? thanks in advance
You need to measure the frequency response, see what goes wrong and work from there
@@kozh4013 is it possible that they just have to high of a volume, it is quite weird how loud they are
@@michaelkho28 do you Android phone at very low volume? Some phones get very noisy at low volume. There are some possible to solve: 1 use external DAC, 2 use Android custom ROM, 3 use EQ app to lower audio output and listening at High volume and 4 tune IEMs with high value resistors so they can be used to listen to at higher volume
@@kozh4013 i used it in my macbook, i think the eq solution might work, thanks broo
@@michaelkho28 there's also possible that you use very small size capacitors or resistors on your crossover circuit so they can't supply the drivers. You'll get very high distortion
Where did you learn all of these?
Mostly from my own research and experiment. Few random things from the internet
2:28 what does that circle with wave mean ?
It represents the audio source
@@kozh4013 oh, thank you !
@@kozh4013 but why source is 1khz ?
