    Measured by AAW on universal shells with one test setup. Custom shells carry the same tuning, though fit, tips and seal shift the result, above 8 kHz most of all.

    One Voice from Two Kinds of Driver

    Crossover

    One Voice from Two Kinds of Driver

    A high-order RC crossover, the usual way to join a dynamic driver to armatures, tends to scramble phase and arrival time. AAW’s TrueXross takes another path: the dynamic driver’s diaphragm is tuned for the job, and a physical low-pass filter keeps it to a range that barely overlaps the armatures.

    Careful placement of the drivers and a front acoustic chamber do the rest, for better coherence, less phase shift and music that arrives at the ear on time.

    Natural Sub-Bass, Extended Treble

    Reference

    Natural Sub-Bass, Extended Treble

    Mockingbird was designed as true reference equipment. Its 4-way network gives dedicated drivers to bass, midrange, treble and super treble, for sub-bass with power and a natural weight that an all-armature design does not give.

    AAW developed its super tweeters with the armature maker it regards as the world’s best; they hold full sound pressure to 20 kHz and extend to 40 kHz. With AAW’s imaging, separation and realistic stage, the result is the coherence of a fine loudspeaker in the space of an IEM.

    Made Your Way

    Design

    Made Your Way

    Choose the shell and faceplate colour for each side, wood, glitter, foil or Atelier faceplates or your own artwork, the nozzle tips, the AAW logo finish and engraving, and watch it come together in the configurator’s live 3D preview.

    Choose a recessed or flat 2-pin socket. The photos show finishes from AAW custom IEMs.

    Tiburon Cable Included

    Tiburon Cable Included

    Process

    2. Get ear impressions: at our studio in Singapore, or post physical impressions or email a 3D scan with your order number.
    3. AAW builds your Mockingbird Custom in 8 weeks from the day we receive your impressions.
    4. We ship it to you, or you collect it at our studio.

    Fit

    Ear Impressions

    In Singapore, we take ear impressions at our studio for SGD 50, by appointment through WhatsApp +65 8731 5476 or sales@null-audio.com.

    Elsewhere, post physical impressions from a local audiologist to Null Audio, #01-03, LHK2 Building, 76 Playfair Road, Singapore 367996, or email a 3D scan (STL) of your impressions or ear canals to support@null-audio.com. How to order custom IEMs explains what a good impression or scan needs.

    Care

    Caring for Custom IEMs

    Clear the nozzles with the brush after use and wipe the shells with the dry cloth. Keep them in the case, away from heat and moisture, and avoid alcohol-based cleaners on the faceplates.

    If the fit isn’t right within 30 days of delivery, we refit them for free (overseas return shipping is charged separately).

    Questions

    Good to know

    How is Mockingbird Custom different from Mockingbird universal?

    The fit and the look. Drivers, the TrueXross crossover and the Tiburon cable are the same. The custom is made from your ear impressions, so it seals deeper and isolates more, and you design its shells and faceplates. The universal fits with ear tips and is in stock.

    How do I order?

    Choose your options in the configurator on this page, then get ear impressions made. In Singapore we take impressions at our Playfair Road studio for SGD 50, by appointment. From overseas, post physical impressions or send us 3D scans (STL files) of your ear impressions or ear canals.

    How to order custom IEMs

    What is TrueXross?

    AAW’s way of joining a dynamic driver to armatures without a high-order RC crossover. The dynamic driver’s diaphragm is tuned and a physical low-pass filter limits it to a range that barely overlaps the armatures; with the driver placement and a front acoustic chamber, this improves coherence, reduces phase shift and keeps the arrival times in order.

    What is the driver configuration?

    Nine drivers per side: a 9 mm dynamic woofer and eight balanced armatures, among them AAW’s bespoke super tweeters, joined by the TrueXross 4-way crossover.

    Which cable does it come with?

    Our Tiburon cable, with the player plug you choose in the configurator. You can upgrade to a higher-tier Null Audio cable when you order; see the AAW cable guide.

    How long does it take?

    8 weeks from the day we receive your ear impressions or scan, plus shipping.

    What if the fit isn’t right?

    We refit it for free within 30 days of delivery. For overseas orders, return shipping is charged separately.

    What warranty and returns apply?

    One year against defects in materials and workmanship, on the monitors and the cable. Custom IEMs are made to your ears, so they can’t be returned for a change of mind; quality problems are covered by the warranty.
