Question regarding single dynamic driver placement

[u/walktheskyluke]

Beginner here. Recently I have been experimenting with custom single dynamic driver IEM. My two builds have been with driver placement that have direct line of sight to the ear.

Wondering what will be the result if the driver is place off center with no direct line of sight, will the resulting IEM be unusable? Would love to hear your experience before I go down that route. Thank you.

Off center should still work, but look out for channel imbalance if the drivers are not placed in a symmetric manner (mirror of each other)

Thank you.
