The MK2 parts arrived the other Day.
The Diaphragms before the frame parts, so I lashed together
a pair of phones with tape to hear what those new diaphragms
sounded like.[I just could not wait untill the frame parts arived..
patience patience..]
The carbon framed transducer is the first sample batch of parts
for my approval so I am still awaiting its companion then I will
make up the MK2s proper.
The visible diaphragm is a reject[a few incomplete traces]
so I installed it as a test.
The lash up phones rattle like hell with heavy bass [These things
are really bodged together] but sound great.
They compare well to the staxes for clarity and are lovely on
vocals.[they do not have that treble lift of the staxes]
The bass has more extension than the MK1s though the rattles
and dodgy build preclude any real assessment there.
The over punchy mid bass has gone.
I know it is not really fair to make any assessment on the mk2 sound based on the lash ups but I am happy thus far.
I am encouraged enough now to go a head and produce a mk2B
design for easier diaphragm installation,and maybe produce an
entirely different version using the same diaphragm but different
magnetic circuit[more akin to a planar speaker than a ribbon]for comparison and to see what extra bass extension can be achieved with this diaphragm.
