Ultimate Ears - Ambient Port

You can order any of your in-ears to come with the built-in ambient feature. This is basically a controlled hole in the shell of the in-ear that allows the user to adjust how much ambient bleed they want to hear. If the hole is fully plugged, the in-ears operate normally. If you want it open, you can remove the plug and the stage noise and crowd noise will reach your eardrum through a -12db filter along with the critical in-ear mix.

But be warned. The low-end frequencies are dependent on having a complete seal. Once you open up your in-ears, you lose the low-end response. You’ll have to get those frequencies from wedges and side-fills while supplementing with an in-ear mix. You’ll have to play around and find your optimal ambient set-up. Keep in mind that we can not add the ambient feature to your custom ears after they have been made. But we can always remove the ambient feature if you prefer not to use it.
