God I wish there were more places like that in the uk (I know there are a handful, but none near me )
...The EE dude at CanJam (Josh) mentioned something about the Wraith having transformers (I can't be sure if I'm remembering that correctly?) added to it to affect how they were driven...
They do, but I think your different types of estats (cf. electrets) require differently high voltages (hence the huge attachment for the KSE, which I assume is needed because they're using estats for all frequencies, not just highs, and thus need the extra high voltage to generate enough movement to produce lower frequencies). Yeah?All estat drivers need transformers because they operate at very high voltage and low amperage.

It specifies maximum input voltage (PP) at 3.3V, but I don't think it shows what it (or a typical load) gets transformed up to?From what I have read on the new Sonion estat modules, each comes with its' own miniature transformer. You can read the spec sheet for their single driver attached below. Their other model is a dual driver.

I think, voltage difference could be explained by that: Shure using true Electrostats, and many others (Probably including Sonion) use Electret. I've seen improvised Electret holding over 6KV charge equivalent for over 6 month. that's why old condenser(capacitor) mikes required 12 and even 27V while new electret ones work in headsets with 1.6V.They do, but I think your different types of estats (cf. electrets) require differently high voltages (hence the huge attachment for the KSE, which I assume is needed because they're using estats for all frequencies, not just highs, and thus need the extra high voltage to generate enough movement to produce lower frequencies).

Quick question about the Legend X. If the common complaint (if I could call it that) is the bass bleeding into the mids sometimes. Is it possible to just EQ that to tame the effect or does that mess the overall sound too much?
I EQ LX. Have to..Quick question about the Legend X. If the common complaint (if I could call it that) is the bass bleeding into the mids sometimes. Is it possible to just EQ that to tame the effect or does that mess the overall sound too much?
To me any eq is gonna mess your sound.
But I think lx eq well thats what I heard
I EQ LX. Have to..
Edit: Depending on the music, but most often 32Hz-2, 63Hz-4, 125Hz-1
It would be nice if Sonion used true electrostats but still exciting, as I found Electrostat treble to be my preferred one. The only thing that compares is Sony ier-z1r with their 6mm dynamic super twitter.
If I was buying today I would chose Valkyrie instead of LX
