This is officially a brand new 100% house designed MrSpeakers driver. This is NOT a t50rp driver.

A photo of the driver would be welcome, lieutenant Dan.

 

[mrspeakers]

Sure, when I'm back in the office...

 

[mrspeakers]

EDIT: Here's a photo of the driver... There are ~7.5m of trace on this driver.

AL on Kapton?

 

[mrspeakers]

AL traces.  Substrate isn't Kapton but we'll maintain an aura of mystery on that.

One thing we didn't announce about ETHER: it will include a custom "clam shell" carrying case.  We're tooling it now, and we'll post renders soon.  We felt this was more practical for general carrying than a Pelican-style case, which becomes it's own carry-on on a plane, for example.
 
It's designed to be light but tough.

A case for the ether is a great news. I was going to ask what type of case, I should get. Thanks Dan you rock.

I'm curious about the comfort of these because I seem to have issues with all of the headphones I use. Either my ear touches part of the inside area by the driver, something around the outside, whether it be clamping force or otherwise, bothers the temporomandibular joint area and under the ear by the back of the jaw.

Greetings Dan,

I have a question, but before I ask I would like to congratulations you and your team for this exciting new product! Now, as far as drivers are concern, I'm curious as to why the diaphragm didn't cover the surface area of what the circumference would have allow? Wouldn't the bigger surface area of the circle shape yield more performance? Or, is it because the knurled diaphragm compensated for this? Are the magnets not powerful enough for that surface area of the diaphragm if it covered the round cups? Can you tell us at least what the material your diaphragm is using and how thin it is compared to other competitions?

Pardon my being so nosy, but I come from the PC world where every graphics card I've read reviews about are reviewed inside and out, and that usually means laying the PCB bare like a centerfold in a magazine.

Do you mean why rectangular driver instead of circular ?

 

[money4me247]

Follow me, Would be interesting if the Ether will have something like a Prime upgrade of sorts and whether previous owners would be able to upgrade to the newer versions like past products.
But it really looks good for my taste 

cant upgrade from alpha dog to alpha prime, so dont see any upgrade program being offered for ether

Yes, Kennerton Team stated the benefits of round diaphragm over square, as far as planars in circle enclosures are concerns, and I was just wondering what Dan Clark's thoughts it this design in comparison to their ETHER. I was wondering that perhaps all the sound characteristics I've been reading in the impressions thread of the ETHER are attributed largely due to the square diaphragm in a circular enclosure.

What exactly do you mean? 
"Flat or round"?

Ah yes, what I mean to say. How much difference does a round diaphragm have, compared to a square diaphragm in the headphone.

Sure, there are a lot of technical differences. Even if we are assuming only straight traces voice coil, and not taking into account circular, there are still edge reflections, different vibration and resonance patterns etc. And size. Round diaphragm are generally preferred, because it uses space more effectively, than square one. So it will have larger emitting area, comparing to square diaphragm. Unless you make square housing, and that will be awkward and huge. And for average listener, bigger size means fuller and larger scale sound.
 
Sincerely, Kennerton Team.

The drivers are totally different and not compatible...

 

[mrspeakers]

I won't comment much on round drivers except to say that it's never the case that one shape is always better or worse. As long as you have boundaries you have boundary conditions, geometry changes create different paths to issues. If there were only one good approach there would only be one style of driver.
