Exclusive Real-Time 3D Ear Impressions
As the world's leading independent specialist in 3D ear impressions, Dakin Custom Audio has sole access to technology that sets a new global standard for the pro audio industry.
Unlike traditional physical impressions that must be converted into digital files, Dakin Custom Audio provides real-time scanning of the ear. This produces an exact digital image with minimal risk, a less invasive procedure, and none of the distortion that can occur in physical moulds.
Combining technical precision with musical insight, we have carefully selected our custom in ear monitor partners and worked with them to refine their processes, ensuring they meet the high standards this technology makes possible.
As a result, Dakin Custom Audio is the preferred impression service for our partners, as well as an ever-growing list of leading artists and industry professionals who depend on the highest levels of accuracy and reliability.
Why We Only Use 3D Ear Impressions
Quicker
On average, our scans are 80% faster than traditional Silicast impressions, taking less than 2 minutes per ear and removing multiple steps from the process.
Safer
We use laser mapping and a depth gauge to create your impression while viewing the inside of your ear throughout. This greatly reduces the risk of discomfort or interference with the eardrum.
Zero Waste
Multiple impressions can be taken with no single-use plastics, and files are sent instantly to you manufacturer. There is no risk of physical moulds changing shape or degrading during transit.
Less Invasive
With an average scan time of under 30 seconds per ear, the only thing that enters the ear is a small laser probe, eliminating the occlusion pressure and discomfort often experienced with traditional impressions.
Designed for the Music Industry
Our 3D ear impressions capture a level of detail that physical impressions cannot match, and are compatible with the workflows of most custom in ear monitor manufacturers who build and model digitally.
Developed with the needs of musicians and audio professionals in mind, our impressions include areas of the ear that are essential for long-term comfort. They work for every ear shape and size, ensuring a secure and consistent fit.
This precision allows our partners to make exact fit adjustments, position components, and build faceplates entirely in the digital domain, producing shells that remain comfortable during long sessions on stage, in the studio, or on the move.
Want Your Own 3D Ear Impressions?
Every set of in ear monitors from Dakin Custom Audio includes a complimentary set of 3D impressions, which we keep securely on file for 5 years.
