LA LEYENDA DE LA LANGOSTA
La historia del rock está llena de frontmen legendarios: desde Freddie Mercury, que podía dominar un estadio con su voz, hasta Ozzy Osbourne, que podía destrozar una habitación de hotel bajo los efectos de lo que fuera que tomara en ese momento. Henry Rollins, Jimi Hendrix, Karen O: artistas que encarnan la libertad, la valentía y la diversión. Estas fueron nuestras inspiraciones para la Rock Lobster.
Nos propusimos crear un IEM que pudieras llevar a cualquier parte, conectar a casi cualquier dispositivo y con el que pudieras contar para defenderte en cualquier rincón del género rock. Algo que siempre quisieras tener contigo, ya sea conectándolo a un teléfono, un reproductor portátil o un DAC/amplificador de escritorio. Queríamos un IEM que hiciera justicia al poder retumbante de un fill de batería de John Bonham sin ahogar el canto delicado de Robert Plant. Uno que pudiera brillar como las campanas al inicio de una canción de The Cure sin cansarte con la sibilancia. Un IEM polivalente, para llevar a diario, pensado para los amantes de la música rock.
¿Dónde están los medios?
Cuando la mayoría de la gente piensa en and deep-digging bass and sparkling treble.
Baby Driver
With a low impedance of 32Ω, the Rock Lobster is easy to drive. Plug it into your phone, iPod, or laptop and you’re good to go. But don’t mistake “easy” for “basic.” Give it the proper gear and it really comes alive. We’ve been loving it on everything from a trusty old 5th gen iPod to a FiiO DAP to the Gremlin/Merlin stack—and it scales beautifully with all of them.
K.I.S.S. (Keep it silicone, stupid) ear tips
We went through dozens of ear tips to find the right ones, testing everything from silicone to memory foam. Some muddied the mids, some choked the bass, some did unspeakable horrors to the treble. In the end, we landed on a simple pair of silicone tips that brings a satisfying and enveloping low-end kick without smothering the separation in the mids. Sometimes simpler is better.
Walk the line: A Cable that doesn’t go overboard
Tuning a rock IEM is tricky, and the cable is a big part of that equation. Some rock, like punk and garage, actually suffers from too much clarity and detail: all those imperfections get laid bare like when the houselights come up during the middle of a set. On the other hand, a bad cable just muddies everything, which kills the separation and texture you need for bands like TOOL or Radiohead. After testing everything from bargain bin wires to boutique cables that cost more than the IEMs themselves, we landed on a cable that strikes the right balance: enough clarity to reveal the details, but not so pristine that it robs the Ramones of their gritty charm. It’s available in both 3.5mm and 4.4mm.
I’ve Just Seen a Faceplate
Like the best frontpeople, the Rock Lobster knows how to strike a balance: understated when it needs to be, electric when the spotlight hits. The black “lobster tail” faceplate is cool and muted, easy to wear on the subway or in the office without attracting attention. But when you pop them out of your ears, that’s when the spotlight hits, and they become bold, fiery, and impossible to ignore.
