Are those still regular 2-pin or UE-type sockets?Not as fancy artwork since this is a prototype shell, for review purpose (not glamour shots), but here is how my review sample of Legend X looks:

standard 2pin, remember, comes with Ares II
That’s why I was wondering about the extruded sockets, but I guess it’s because they are prototypes.standard 2pin, remember, comes with Ares II
In your experience with EE, is there very much re-tuning for the final product after the prototype is released? Thanks!standard 2pin, remember, comes with Ares II

My custom Zeus-XR came with an EE stock cable instead of an Ares II. According to the dealer, they say Ares II is currently out of stock and they will give me my Ares II when they are back online.
Nice, so I can even do a comparison between EE stock cable vs Ares II lol. Cable believer.

I never had a chance to compare prototypes, only have experience with Zeus. So, can't say if it going to change. But Jack was confident enough to ask me to use this prototype for review purpose since the signature/tuning is final.

Because they are a prototypes and used another mold for the shells they probably had to save space internally for the drivers and what not... That's why the sockets extrude.
I thought it would be something like that, especially with the Legend X and the space needed for all those delicious drivers.Because they are a prototypes and used another mold for the shells they probably had to save space internally for the drivers and what not... That's why the sockets extrude.

Well, I'm very glad to announce that I'll be attending the Empire launch event in Singapore this coming Friday. You can expect thorough impressions of both EP and X line-ups (including comparisons with the Zeus-XR), extensive photo coverage, as well as any miscellaneous info I can squeeze out of both the Empire and Effect Audio guys while I'm there - all encased within the structural framework of a THL article. It looks like it's gonna be a crap ton of work, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tremendously excited.
