And, did it make a difference, YES!!!
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! ;-)

Did I do more.....yes, I probably went over the top.. I changed the stock tweeters for a pair of these; http://www.usspeaker.com/radian%20475bEpb-1.htm Radian 475-beryllium added a suitable Lpad using Mills wirewound resitstors.. those speakers now play in a whole different league. oh,btw, you can buy a bracket/adaptor for the 475’s and they will fit nicely with the current Omen lenses.... |
:-) I got the 475’s primarily due to avoid the woodwork, keep the cost down and make sure the speakers can be returned original if I for some reason would want to.. the larger Zu lenses are $$$ also, the 850’s are not really well behaved in the high frequencies, the 475-be are beryllium, they are superb for tweeter duty! |
