Alclair CMVK IEM’s

[Jerry Ziarko]

I felt it was time to replace my InEarz p450 IEM’s. A friend suggested Alclair CMVK’s. I haven’t gigged with them yet, but trying them out at home, the bass reproduction is outstanding! These things go deep, but unlike others I have tried that had a bass “boost,” the CMVK’s are more like just hearing what is actually going on in the low end. Very pleased with the purchase!

I had a set of these and really liked them. Everyone else was paying double for 1964s at the time and I decided to go this route. Eventually lead to me getting the church an endorsement deal once I became staff a couple years after purchase. Good people over there at Alclair.

Congrats!

Curious if the InEarz were vented and what that change feels like to you if so. I have Alclairs and personally don't really have any issues that come from them being non-vented, but I know some do and like I said just curious.

My InEars have Adel vents if that is what you mean. I did change the Adel filters when I first got them to those that were supposed to be best for low end. I don't think they made all that much difference other than $$. I wanted to have my P450's remolded. For the money they wanted, it wasn't worth it. Now I'm glad I didn't. They had no where near the low end clarity and headroom the Alclairs have IMO.

I have a pair of CMVK too. Before these, I had a pair of Dual XB that I used for about 6 years. I loved the Dual XBs, but the CMVK is a substantial improvement. Definitely more defined and audible bass coming through. Very sharp and pronounced, not muddy or distorted. I can definitely hear myself better with lower volume with the CMVK's over the the Dual XB. Not taking anything away from the Dual XB's. I really like those too.

Alclair all the way.

I own a pair of Dual XB Dual Driver since 2019 with hundreds of gigs on them, and a pair of CMVK Five Driver that I've been using for the last couple years, and a pair of custom ear plugs.

Overall the best thing about Alclair is the customer service. My Dual XB's were my first pair of IEM's, and didn't quite fit perfectly after about 9 mos (it could have been the way my molds were taken, or I had lost a lot of weight during the same period). I hesitantly called customer support, and they were AWESOME! After a phone conversation with a real person, he...

I was in the Nashville Alclair shop 2 weeks ago getting impressions and trying out several models with universal tips. I found the CMVK's to be pretty good. I ultimately ended up picking the more expensive DKMs, which sounded better to my ears. But I think I would have been okay with the CMVK's if that was my budget.

I can't wait to get my custom DKM's. They said it would take 4-5 weeks.
