how to build custom in ear monitors DIY
hallo leute. in diesem video zeige ich euch, wie ich mir selber angepasste in ears baue. für custom in ears benötigt man einen exakten abdruck seiner ohren. hierfür verwende ich abformmasse aus zwei komponenten, die zusammengemixt in eine spritze kommen, um sein ohr auszufüllen. vorher platziert man ein wattebausch mit sicherheitsfaden vorsichtig in seinen ohrkanal. die watte schützt das trommelfell vor der abformmasse. damit die in ears auch später beim sprechen perfekt sitzen und aussengeräusche nicht eindringen können, halte ich beim abformen meinen mund geöffnet. auch wenn ihr hier im video seht, dass ich mir die abdrücke selber mache,
EMPFEHLE ICH EUCH DIE ABDRÜCKE UNBEDINGT VON EINEM PROFI MACHEN ZU LASSEN!!! ZU GROß IST DAS RISIKO SICH SEIN TROMMELFELL ZU VERLETZEN!!!!
WICHTIG IST AUCH DER UMGANG MIT DEN MATERIALIEN AN SICH. STELLT SICHER, DASS IHR NICHT ALLERGISCH REAGIERT UND WER DAS GLÜCK HAT UND AN DIESEN ABDRUCKLACK RANKOMMT - TRAGT UNBEDINGT ATEMSCHUTZ!!! DAS ZEUG HAUT EINEN UM!
wenn die ohrabdrücke fest geworden sind, schneidet und schleift man sie sich in form. alle scharfen kanten, werden mit einem softrondel abgeschliffen. damit man ein gutsitzendes und klares gehäuse bekommt, versiegel ich die abdrücke mit speziellem "abdrucklack". alternative kann man ohrabdrücke auch in paraffinwachs tauchen. für die herstellung der negativformen, verwende ich transluzentes abformsilikon von trollfactory. auch hier werden zwei gleiche teile a und b zu einer masse vermischt. möglich langsam und vorsichtig umrühren, um so wenig wie möglich luftblasen einzuschliessen! von einem plastebecher mit deckel, habe ich den boden abgeschnitten, dies ist die perfekte negativform für den ohrabdruck. nach etwa einer stunde, kann man den abdruck entformen. die fertige negativform ist lichtdurchlässig und perfekt für die arbeit mit lichthärtendem kunststoff. für die herstellung der in ear gehäuse, verwende ich von lisa pavelka "magic gloss" uv resin. dies ist ein ein-komponenten-resin, das heisst, man braucht nichts mixen und kann gleich loslegen. das material wird auch erst dann fest, wenn man es uv licht aussetzt, man hat also keine zeitbeschränkung bei der verarbeitung, was sehr angenehm ist. um die in ear gehäuse zu härten, verwende ich eine handelsübliche nagelhärtelampe. ein kleiner drehteller sorgt für gleichmäßige bestrahlung. die negativform mit magic gloss füllen, einen deckel drauflegen, damit kein licht von oben die aussenseite des gehäuses festwerden lässt. die aushärtungszeit im lichtgerät kann je nach größe der gehäuse variieren. nach abgelaufener zeit, schüttet man überflüssiges material aus. anschliessend stellt man die negativform kopfüber nochmals in das lichtgerät. dadurch kann noch nicht ausgehärtetes material aus dem gehörgang nach unten fliessen und erspart einem viel arbeit bei den bohrungen für die schallschläuche. nachdem die gehäuse in der nagelhärterlampe vollkommen festgeworden sind, markiert man sich alle bohrungen mit einem stift und durchtrennt sie vorsichtig. anschliessend schleift man die faceplateseite auf das gewünschte gehäusemaß runter. in die in ears habe ich ein 3-wege-system aus balanced armature drivern eingebaut. bestellt habe ich sie auf www.mcear.de
die verlötete technik mit den zugeschnittenen schallschläuchen nur am gehäuse fixieren und das gehäuse mit magicgloss auffüllen und im lichtgerät härten. ein logo wurde mit einem lasercutter ausgeschnitten und anschliessned auf der faceplate positioniert. dann nochmal magic gloss drüber, aushärten, polieren und fertig :-)

[@radsdau]

Now I understand why these things cost so much to get made professionally. Thanks for the info Robert!

[@hiems5647]

yea, but in companies like UE those are 3D Printed, so most of the work is done by a printer.

[@ultraboosted]

I almost thought u was ar12

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

glad i never did that

[@natfingerboard]

They look a lot better than some custom iem out there made by bigger companies... You really took the time to deliver the presentation, polishing and shaping the exterior to look very professional. Really amazing job, I'm impressed.

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Nathan Carrille wow. thank you so much for your kind words😊✌😁

[@shkedov.b]

Amazing and inspiring! Thanks for creating the video and translating to english!

[@ViceChief]

This is a fantastic video - thank you for making it. My wife has custom in-ear monitors, which were made by some company. I always wondered about how it was done. I use UV-cure adhesives and resins pretty often; you showed some great applications. Thanks. I see you got some of the usual boring comments complaining about spending a lot of money on "professional" equipment. Some people don't understand that some things cannot be bought. And some people don't understand that buying the tools is cheap tuition - which makes you more valuable as a person. And some people have never had the satisfaction of making their own thing. Personally, I want to live in a world of my own making.

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Vice Chief thank you man. you made my day with this comment;)

[@diebros800]

Kannst du mir auch machen

[@dayden0.058]

Nice comment Bru

[@chicasIEMs]

first off i want to thank Robert Kaufmann and many other youtubers for teaching us how to DIY IN-ears... it cost me around 800$ to make my first set of CIEM. i spend around 500 on tools and 300 on parts but now i started my own business and i have been making CIEMs for the last Year.

[@franciscojaviergutierrezso15]

Hello! It's so great you are now doing this as business. I also bought a lot of equipment and have been doing a lot of tests but I just can't get the magic gloss to work. I have tried several time settings but I either end up with a solid shell or a partially solid shell. Would you please share with us how you achieve a hollow shell? Best regards!

[@MrReStories]

That's just absolutely brilliant .

[@jmattbell]

I know I will never do this, but it was SO SATISFYING to watch!!

[@eliotjacobsen4361]

Robert. Thank you for spending the time to make this great tutorial. Wunderbar!

[@RezaMolavi]

Wow, Robert; you are an artist. these look fantastisch.

[@ongbuihuy4149]

[@breaux2806]

Thank you for the subtitles, fantastic video!

Just finished making mine! sound great and a great guide to follow! saved myself a huge amount of money too!!

[@daspiper8941]

WOW!! I wish I had your knowledge and skills to do what you just did. I have most of the necessary tools. Great job. Great Video. Thank you much for sharing.

[@goosebumpsIIVI]

Great video! Unfortunately mcear site is down. Do you know another place where to source parts for such a project?

[@leifringkjbing7689]

Thanks (again Robert) Fantastic video this "new" one. I am "on" the making of a new set. The old one still working perfect. - thanks again.

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Leif Ringkjøbing realy cool. Very lucky to hear that its work;)

[@EmmWieMeikel]

Sehr. Gut erklärt. Ein großer Fortschritt zu dem ersten Video. Ich hab mir daran die Zähne ausgebissen.

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

am besten ist, dass die 24 h aushärtungszeit entfallen...und der sound der driver ist wahnsinn!;)

[@ozzycarpe]

Bravo! Super job man!

[@madmaxkal]

Thanks robert! I just finished making a set using very similar materials. Unfortunately one of my audio tubes slipped off and got flooded with resin. I used a hammer to try and rescue the driver but all the driver wires ripped off with the shell. The remaining headphone looks and sounds great. Awesome tutorial!

[@madmaxkal]

Waiting on materials to remake the botched driver :)

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

ohh thanks a lot!!! ;) great, when peaple building their own in ears after watching my tutorial!✌

[@crisdrumming]

First of all, thanks for this awesome video. It's really well done. I'm collecting all the material needed to do my personal IEM but some points of your video are not clear to me: 1) What's the diameter of the two tubes on the speaker driver 2) Which damper you used and if it's really necessary 3) What the diameter of the two plastic tubes you put inside the shell Thanks a lot!!

[@traplong9305]

The sound tube have different variation, and the diameter depends on which driver u connect to. If u are connected to a smaller driver usually the nozzle is smaller, and u might need to use smaller size sound tube. You can drill a big hole which allowed u to fit more than 2 sound tube, and fill it back with resin later, or measure and keep spaces for 2 isolating holes. Its all about how u want it done, and u have a lot of ways to do it

[@leesbassment6393]

Great video. This method seems MUCH easier than your older video. I plan to do this, soon. Currently using M6 pro universal buds, which are really not bad at all. I'm ready for custom molded, and I enjoy projects. Going with the Knowles four driver set up. Thanx!!

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Lee Jacobson thanks man😉✌let me know, when your pair ciems are ready😉

[@yohanadi8005]

love it , i hope it come with english sub. thx

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

+yohan adi NOW YOU HAVE THEM :-)

Great tutorial Robert! I like the end result better than your previous tutorial. Couple of questions.. how many oz. of the magic gloss you think you ended up using for both in-ears? And.. can magic gloss be colored somehow? I will like to make mine translucent black. Thanks!!

[@____RAY____]

Amazing video. Respect your kindness to share your precious experience and knowledge, which probably you earned by your big effort.

[@neyzenilkay]

Respekt! Richtig gut geworden!

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Vielen lieben dank!

[@malditoklee]

Fantastic job documenting your process. Beautifully done! Amazing attention to detail. If you ever decide to start making these commercially, I'd love to commission a pair, too much work for me to DIY myself :). Thank you for posting this video!

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Bishop Bautista thanks for your kind words😉😀

[@imlinokamer8842]

your video is the best man i could try to make one of my own watching this it's makes me learn a stuff i always wanted to do

[@LL-vt3is]

Thank you for your video! May I know whether your CIEM encounters any yellowing on the shell or not?

[@DickyHertz]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting.

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

thanks;)

[@voyeugau]

So professional

[@Miesn]

Also ganz ehrlich!!! Das ist das krasseste was ich seit langem gesehen habe!!! Hätte nie gedacht das sowas von Zuhause aus möglich ist. Ich bin selber Drummer und hätte gerne custom in ears, habe aber den hohen Preis von z.B. Ultimate Ears bisher gescheut. Weisst du was ein DIY Projekt so wie du es hier gezeigt hast kosten würde? Beste Grüße!!! Irre gutes Video!!!

[@afro193]

Nice video! You remind me of Mats Hummels

[@ChrisTian-ko8nc]

Hi Robert. Good job on your CIEM! I am planning to make my own by following this tutorial but I have a question: I have seen the datasheet of the GV-32830-000 quad driver and the freq response seems to lack of lows and highs 70Hz - 12khz Am I wrong to think that this driver could sound a bit muflled? Will I need an extra driver for the top end of the frequency range? Thank you!

[@andisoncheung]

Beautiful, love it

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

+topang cheung hey topang!;) thanks...and yeah-i love them too;)

[@davidperkins3437]

Ausgezeichnete Arbeit Robert! Ich bekomme meine Materialien und Ausrüstung bereit. Ich fand eine batteriebetriebene rotierende Schmuck-Display, um den UV-Nageltrockner zu modifizieren. Ich denke, es wird gut funktionieren. Die Troll-Fabrik hat keinen USA-Verteiler, so dass der Versand für das Silikon hoch war. Vielen Dank für ein wirklich nettes Tutorial!

[@ShaunScott]

Very Nice!

Hi Robert, great job, they look pretty good. These tubes are specific for sound? Does it need to be of any specific material? Can you recommend me some kind of tube to use? Thanks.

[@CatzNGaz]

If you upload an English version of this, I'll be ecstatic! Great production and engineering! About how much was the total expense of the materials and tools?

[@DeadRoman]

Why did you choose to fill them in with resin vs gluing the drivers in place and capping it?

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

hey. it sounds much better to me...the sound is more directly...also it looks much better crystal clear when you fill it up;)

[@Chicas272]

Thanks! good job!

[@ZebraRecordsOfficial]

Hello Robert! Congrats for your channel and for your work. I am a Live vocalist and i want to Build myself a set of inear monitors just like you did. I would like to ask what kit do you recommend? 3 or 4 drivers? Do they need to be calibrated? What dampers should be used? Thank you very much and good Luck! Gabriel

[@64akon]

awesome i would love to get a pair custom in ear monitor

[@cbowmusik]

Hi Robert, nice video! Thanks for that. How would you rate the sealing? As a drummer i had some bad experiences with custom made earplugs in terms of the sealing, which is why im quite careful to spend much money on In-Ears. Would you say your selfmade In-Ears are perfectly fitting? Thank you and regards

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

I just build it on my own,because the fit of my first pro in ears was terrible. Now i have a dreampair. They fit in every situation and i dont have to put my finger on it to push it to the ears back;)

[@MsTelestrat]

Friend. Why is magic gloss matte when pulled out of form?

[@jmspeedster]

What kind of putty to use for ear impression? I guess the 1st link in the description box for the materials used is already outdated and probably not in amazon already. I hope I can know what putty or chemicals you used in the syringe

[@OsmiumStudios]

by the way, how much resin did you use for both ears is 1oz enough or do you need more?

[@juergensplieth6068]

Hallo Robert, vielen Dank für Deine tolle Anleitung und die Inspiration zum Bau meiner eigenen in ear monitore. Dieses DIY Projekt hat mir viel Spaß gemacht. Ich habe übrigens die Materialien von Danny Fa.Mc Ear benutzt,die lassen sich top verarbeiten. Nun wollen meine Söhne auch unbedingt welche....;) Viele Grüße Jürgen

Hi , is that really okay to use A and B silicone for shells? I see you did on the video , but im afraid that the uv light won’t get through there to shell.:)

[@thalackermark1]

Hi Robert have you ever lightly sanded (very fine grit) the impressions after you sealed them and then applied a very thin second coat of sealer just to get them smoother?

[@sergio76270]

excelente trabalho!

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

Sergio Macedo thank you😆

[@cbrrecords]

I used magic Glos, but everytime I have tried, it continues to stay tacky. Why and how do I fix this? Is it going under the UV light too long? After they go under for the 6 minutes do you let it sit for a little while before you take them out of the mold?

[@ciacom1]

hello, good work, I'm trying to do it but I'm not finding the bike that turns up at 3:17 that you use to turn, can you tell me what you used and where can I find

[@andreshuesorivas9448]

Buenisimo Gracias

[@justaswede3135]

Great video man👍! Some does not fill the shells around the drivers etc with epoxi, they just add the face plate! But then things can vibrate loose?! I have wondered how these are made for years! I figured out the most by looking on CIEM, But your video added the last missing pieces! Do you build these professionally? I really want to find some courses, do you know about any? I am from Sweden! Thanks man!

i dont do this as a pro. it was just a diy project:-)

[@robertkaufmanndrummer]

the quality of the driver is as good as that of large companies . the drivers are of Knowles . with security can also switch two times 3 drivers per ear . the one must then also can turn right. Thank you very much

may i ask you somehing??when you full the shells with the magic gloss,drivers werent been destroyed?
