Do you thinks that it's theoretical possible to modd the um2 cables so they get dual-bore system ?

I'm gettng my um56 soon and IF this "modd" is possible and westone is ready to make it for some bucks I'll have an um2 hybrid

I was thinking the same thing, if u look at the driver, there are 2 holes in it, i think all u need is modify the nozzle, but i dont have the tool to do taht.

Yah, recabling will not give you dual-bore. You have to modify the nozzle to make it dual bore.

Damn play nice man, he's just asking

as long as we're remotely on the topic of recabling, is it possible to recable the um2's, if the cable snaps for some reason?

cheers

It's possible. It's also recommend you send them in for repair. Within the first year, no charge.

Hey, do you work for Westone? Can you tell me the sonic difference btw UM2s /w custom tip and ES2s?

 

[p0wderh0und23]

Yep. Artist Relations.

The sound is much larger on the ES2 over the UM2 w/ UM56's. Main reason is the UM2 has a single sound bore, so the frequencies compete a bit. The ES2 has a single sound bore for each driver and they are a larger diameter as well allowing the frequencies more room.

I use both. UM2 for mtn biking, skiing, etc. ES2 for chilling out or on stage.

This wasn't an answer to the topic ,right ? I hoped so but then I saw atart's post
