{"product_id":"noble-audio-lu-ban-1","title":"Noble Audio Lu Ban","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed after the legendary Chinese craftsman and inventor synonymous with precision and ingenuity, the Noble Audio Lu Ban is a three-driver hybrid IEM that combines a 10mm wooden composite dynamic driver with two newly developed Super-Magnetic planar drivers. It is an unusual and ambitious configuration that seeks to blend the natural resonance and tonal weight of wood with the speed and clarity that planar technology uniquely provides. Each pair is individually carved from Cocobolo wood, making every unit visually distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniversal hybrid IEM, three-driver configuration. 10mm wooden composite diaphragm dynamic driver as the sonic foundation, with wood's natural resonance shaping bass texture, midrange body, and the way notes decay. Two Super-Magnetic planar drivers using ultra-high magnetic energy neodymium iron boron material, refined with a precisely controlled copper element to stabilize magnetic flux, improve transient response, and extend high-frequency precision. Three-way crossover integrating all three drivers. Cocobolo wood shells combined with a high-precision 3D-printed resin internal framework for consistent driver placement and acoustic geometry across units. Standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors. Included cable: 4-strand woven high-purity OCC silver-plated, fibre-woven outer sleeve, 4.4mm copper gold-plated balanced termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lu Ban is built around a philosophy of complementary driver technologies rather than driver count. The wooden composite dynamic handles weight, body, and tone while the dual Super-Magnetic planars add speed, detail retrieval, and high-frequency extension without the transient overhang that multi-BA designs can introduce. The result is a presentation that leans toward resolution and vocal clarity, with a precise and intimate soundstage that has good left-right separation and a clear sense of instrument layering. Tip choice is meaningfully impactful: foam tips add warmth and bass weight, while silicone tips emphasize upper-midrange clarity and top-end extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocobolo wood is revered in the world of fine instruments for its density, acoustic stability, and distinctive reddish-brown grain that shifts color in different lighting. No two Lu Ban units have identical grain patterns, making each pair a genuinely unique object. The 3D-printed resin framework inside ensures the exterior's organic variation does not affect acoustic consistency. Every unit is built to the same acoustic geometry regardless of how its shell looks. The included OCC silver-plated cable with 4.4mm balanced termination is designed to preserve the signal integrity that the Super-Magnetic planar drivers are capable of resolving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudiophiles who want a hybrid IEM tuned for vocal clarity, midrange resolution, and natural tonal color rather than maximum driver count or bass impact, and those drawn to instruments and craft materials as much as technical specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoble Audio Lu Ban IEM (universal fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-strand OCC silver-plated cable with 4.4mm balanced termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEM storage box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEar tip storage box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 pairs of ear tips (silicone and foam)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty service card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal hybrid IEM, 3-driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x 10mm wooden composite dynamic + 2x Super-Magnetic planar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108 dB SPL\/mW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShell material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCocobolo wood with 3D-printed resin internal framework\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.78mm 2-pin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-strand OCC silver-plated, fibre-woven sleeve, 4.4mm balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Noble Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53393178067223,"sku":null,"price":1399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/4262\/files\/LuBan-365.jpg?v=1779215062","url":"https:\/\/www.mimic-audio.com\/products\/noble-audio-lu-ban-1","provider":"Mimic-Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
