The Creator Hub

We have named products after reviewers. If you have an audience that trusts your ear, tell us what you make and we will talk about what we could do together.

Mastering Modern Transducers

Product Collaborations

Co-designing the future through strategic partnerships and industry-leading collaborations.

Who it is for

People whose audience trusts their ear.

Reach is not the thing we are counting. A reviewer read by four hundred people who buy on their word is worth more to us than a channel that will not remember the product next week.

Reviewers
Written or video, in any language. If you take the measurements seriously we are especially interested — several of our tuning decisions came out of arguments with reviewers.
Creators with a niche
Gaming, classical, field recording, mixing on a budget. A specific audience is easier for us to make something for than a general one.
Musicians and engineers
People who use in-ears at work and can say precisely what is wrong with them. That feedback is worth more than a post.
Communities
Forum moderators, Discord owners, meet organisers. Group buys and listening events are things we have done and would do again.

If you want a referral rate rather than a project

That is the affiliate programme, and it is a better fit: published rates from 5% to 18%, a tracking link, a 14-day cookie, and no conversation needed to start. This page is for building something.

The affiliate programme

What we can talk about

There is no fixed package.

We are not going to publish a tier list, because what we agree has depended entirely on the person and the project. These are the things that have actually been on the table.

  1. A unit to review

    The usual starting point. Yours to keep, and yours to be rude about — we have published reviews that were not kind.

  2. Early access

    Hearing a set before launch, sometimes early enough that what you say still changes it.

  3. A tuning project

    The rarest of these and the reason the page exists: a set you shape and that carries your name. Four have shipped.

  4. A commission rate

    Through the affiliate programme, which has published rates. It can run alongside anything else here.

  5. Codes for your audience

    A discount your community can use, which tends to matter more to people than another giveaway.

  6. Access to the people who tune

    Answers from the engineers rather than from a press kit, when you are writing something technical.

None of the above is automatic and none of it is a promise. It is what there is to discuss when you write.

Questions

Before you write.

We do not publish a threshold, and we are not going to invent one. Send the link and let the work speak — a small, specialist audience that acts on your recommendation is the thing we are looking for.

Sometimes, and it is usually where a collaboration starts. It is not automatic and it is not what this page is promising. Tell us what you would do with one.

No. A review nobody believes is worth nothing to us. Say what you actually heard.

No. The affiliate programme is a published, self-serve arrangement — apply through UpPromote, get a link, earn 5% to 18% on referred sales. This page is for projects, and the two can run together.

That has happened four times, and every one of them began as a working relationship rather than as a request. Start by reviewing something.

Normally within 48 hours on a working day. We are Mon to Fri on GMT+8.

There is no form to be accepted by and no queue to sit in. This goes to the same inbox as everything else, and a person reads it.

We use your email to answer you, nothing else.
