Ear Impression Guidelines for Custom Monitors

Full Ear Impression Required: Impressions must include key anatomical landmarks: the crus of the helix, antitragus, and tragus, extending just past the second bend of the ear canal.

Ear Dam Compatibility Foam or cotton ear dams are acceptable.

Open-Mouth Impressions Recommended If the client sings or makes expressive facial movements on stage, please use a bite block and have them mimic their performance expressions during the impression process.

Use Ample Backing Material Be generous with backing impression material—we recommend a “Frankenstein bolts” style for optimal support and handling.
