AAW Mockingbird Custom
The same nine drivers and TrueXross crossover as Mockingbird, in shells cast from your ear impressions: a deeper seal, more isolation and a fit you can wear through a whole session in the studio or on stage.
You design the shells and faceplates in the configurator, and it comes with our Tiburon cable.

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.

Crossover
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.
Reference
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.
Design
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.

In the box
Mockingbird Custom comes with our Tiburon cable with 2-pin connectors. Choose the player plug in the configurator: 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm balanced, or 3.5 mm single-ended.
You can also upgrade to a higher-tier Null Audio cable when you order.

Process
Fit
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
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).

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 weeks from the day we receive your ear impressions or scan, plus shipping.
We refit it for free within 30 days of delivery. For overseas orders, return shipping is charged separately.
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.
