​Client Stories - Rasmus Bom Andersen​

​

​

A full custom build from the shell up for one of the UK's busiest session vocalist and studio engineers who wanted a set of truly special, 'off menu' game-changing, custom in ear monitors. â€‹

We love it when someone finds what they really want and we get the opportunity to make it happen! 

​

For Rasmus, he came to us initially for a re-shell of his trusted 64Audio A6 custom in ear monitors, but was interested in upgrading his sound and experience. 

 

Working as a session vocalist and front person for one of the UK's most iconic metal bands and also as a studio engineer, he had a real ear for detail and wanted something that would be a versatile and capable companion both on and off stage! 

 

During a 1:1 consultation at our London clinic, he tried out the Fir Audio Xenon6s and found their sound with the electrostatic high frequency drivers and the feel of the kinetic bass gave him something special he could use live and also in his studio work!

​

After several weeks of conversations around design, he'd found several stock designs which he liked, but also multiple images online he loved and wanted to see if we could build something completely bespoke - so we got to work!

The concept

Every aspect of this build was off menu and a collaboration between our client, DCA and FiR Audio USA's production team to create something incredible.

​

Rasmus's initial design concept was described as something similar to 'the hulk' colours with opposing green, purple and gold elements. So after several mock-ups of shells and faceplates we got his go ahead, and finalised the build.

 

These unique Xenon6s consist of:

 

  • Bespoke satin finish translucent green and purple shells.
     

  • Black, jade green and gold resin faceplates with gold foil detail.
     

  • Opposing custom sapphire purple, deep purple, black and gold resin faceplates with corresponding gold foil inlays.
     

  • Custom gold artwork.

​

​

Detail and communication

As with all the work we do, being open and keeping a 2-way line of communication was key between both our client and the production team. 

​

Every stage was checked and verified with Rasmus to ensure he was 100% happy before signing off any choices and moving onto the next stage of the build.

​

This allowed us to ensure that every part of this custom in ear monitors, down to the finest detail, was the highest quality it could be and in keeping with Rasmus' initial vision!

​

This included receiving mockups and photograph updates from the awesome team over at FIR Audio throughout the build!

" Just simply the best caring customer service you can hope for! Miles did my remoulds some months back for my 2016 IEMs and gave me the tour of all the new innovations and models. I was blown away by the difference and had to get a new pair.

 

Finally the time came and he helped me get a one of a kind custom set of IEM with FIR Audio which are by far the best IEMs I have ever experienced!

 

Thank you so much Miles for all the care, time and attention to details in getting these incredible sounding and and beautiful set of IEMs to me in time for the tour. Absolutely appreciate everything you and DCA have done for me! "
