Modding the Zu Omen MKII

Hi all

I am a bit courious as to if anyone else went down the DIY mod path with their Omens?

What are your experiences?

On my mod list (so far)
- New Double xover capacitators
- Adding a parallell resistor to the tweeter
- Stiffening of the cabinet
- Painting the insides with noise-x
- New internal cabeling
- New bolts and fastenings for main elements.

They now sound fantastic! And play in a different league!

And probably more mods to come! ;-)

What did you use for the L-pad and how do you set it up? 
I'm thinking your reasoning on the 475s is very good.

This is the values I used for the L-pad;


2 x (RES-M1115) - 3R 12W MRA12 Mills Resistor - £9.18 (£4.59 each)
SKU: RES-M1115, Location: AA04, Tariff Code: 8533210000

2 x (RES-M1135) - 4R7 12W MRA12 Mills Resistor (4.7R) - £9.18 (£4.59 each)
SKU: RES-M1135, Location: AA04, Tariff Code: 8533210000

These values are a result of scaling compared to what I know Zu use to match the 850’s with the 103nd drivers, accounting for the differences 260drivers.

note; these values will work for the 8Ohm 475-be radians.

if you go for the 16ohm Radian 475 version, different values will apply...

Also, there are plenty of L-PAD calculators available online.

They will however give you other values than what I proposed above...

Alright. Thank you very much!

lastly, this bracket to make the tweeters fit, where can I get some?

did you explore switching out the full range driver?
