NOBLE AUDIONoble Audio Iris IEMs<\/p>\n
The second product announced by Noble Audio is the new single dynamic driver Iris model featuring custom Micarta housing, triple sound chamber architecture and natural full-range performance. <\/p>\n
Created for clarity, focus and natural musical flow, the new Iris IEMs take a purist approach. Instead of using multiple driver types, the design centers the entire listening experience around a custom 10.2mm dynamic driver, engineered to deliver a coherent and expressive sound from a single full-range driver.<\/p>\n
The driver features a three-layer PU and PEEK diaphragm with coating, supported by a dual neodymium, iron boron magnet system and triple sound chamber design. These elements help the Iris IEMs to deliver focused imaging, natural vocal presence, controlled low-frequency texture and a clean sense of space.<\/p>\n
Finished in a blue CNC-machined custom Micarta housing inspired by the iris flower, the new IEMs combine Noble\u2019s acoustic design with visual artistry in a universal in-ear monitor.<\/p>\n

NOBLE AUDIOOne Driver, One Vision<\/p>\n
The Iris IEMs are built around the belief that simplicity can be powerful. Using a single dynamic driver design gives the Iris a unified acoustic character, with bass, mids and treble all delivered from one controlled source.<\/p>\n
This approach gives Iris its identity. Noble says the vocals feel \u201cnaturally placed, instruments sit together with purpose, and the overall presentation is designed to feel fluid rather than forced.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Iris IEMs are designed for listeners who want detail and refinement, but who also want to feel connected to the music. The result, says Noble, is a focused single driver monitor with a clean, coherent and emotionally direct sound. <\/p>\n
The Noble Audio Iris IEMs have drivers with a three-layer PU and PEEK diaphragm with coating, supported by a dual neodymium, iron boron magnet system and triple sound chamber design.<\/p>\n
NOBLE AUDIOCustom Dynamic Driver<\/p>\n
At the heart of Iris is a custom 10.2mm dynamic driver, using the same driver type as Noble Audio\u2019s Amadeus. Its three-layer PU and PEEK diaphragm with coating is engineered for responsive movement, controlled low-frequency texture and clear mid-to-high frequency performance.<\/p>\n
Paired with a dual neodymium iron boron magnet system, Iris maintains strong driver control and dynamic expression across the full frequency range. With a frequency response of 10Hz\u201340kHz, Iris is designed to deliver extended low and high frequency performance while keeping a natural coherence, immediacy and musicality from a single dynamic driver. <\/p>\n
Inside the CNC-machined custom Micarta housing, Iris uses a triple sound chamber design that refines the overall performance by shaping airflow and acoustic response.<\/p>\n
The structure helps the single dynamic driver perform with more control, supporting focused imaging, natural vocal presence and a clean sense of space. It gives Iris the ability to sound organized and spacious without losing the simplicity and immediacy of a one-driver design.<\/p>\n
The Iris IEMs are supplied with an 8-core OCC cable featuring 3.5mm and 4.4mm replaceable plugs, giving listeners the flexibility to move between standard single-ended and balanced connections.<\/p>\n
NOBLE AUDIOCustom Micarta Housing <\/p>\n
Iris features a blue CNC-machined custom Micarta housing, drawing a subtle connection to the iris flower and giving the monitor an organic identity. The material gives Iris a character and depth, while the CNC-machined construction has the kind of finish users would expect from a high-end pair of universal IEMs.<\/p>\n
Iris is designed for listeners who want a premium wired IEM with a focused and flexible sound out of the box. With 34\u03a9 impedance and 113dB +\/- 3dB sensitivity at 1kHz, the Iris IEMs are suitable for a wide range of portable and desktop sources. <\/p>\n
The IEMs are supplied with an 8-core OCC cable featuring 3.5mm and 4.4mm replaceable plugs, giving listeners the flexibility to move between standard single-ended and balanced connections.<\/p>\n
