Hi all! I've had lots of requests for measurements on the Isotope - my closed-back model. And I've finally come through. Please note that these were taken on my MiniDSP EARS and someone was using a router in the next room over, but here they go.
First, obligatory shot of my shop and rig:
Tests were run on this pair of Purplehearts, which I use as my demo unit when anyone wants to swing by and have a listen.
Graph 1: Driven by the single-ended output of my Burson Conductor 3XP
Graph 2: Driven by my Bottlehead Crack with Speedball
So there it is. I'm going to run graphs from a couple other amps when I have a chance, and from the balanced output of the Burson as well. But for right now, here's a visualization of the Isotopes' FR graph.
You can still get a pair of Isotopes in purpleheart, padauk, leopardwood or zebrawood at lithiumheadphones.com - I have a couple pairs left of all of 'em. Also keep a lookout for the launch of wood Alkali open-backs!
