Modding the Zu Omen MKII

Sounds strange...

If you did this right, it should sound anything but muffeled.

if you replaced the caps, they will break-in over the next 30-50 hours, and sound great after 200.

make sure that all polarities are correct, + to + all drivers and speakers...

New caps will sound dull from the start, and improve after 10hrs or so

If you have new compression drivers, they may need 10-50 hours of break in aswell, depending og how loud you play..

@zuangbro - You really have me intrigued with your Radian 475be upgrade. I'm thinking of making the same leap with my Omen DWs. I recently replaced the Clarity caps with Duelund tinned copper caps (I know, I know, it was one of those what-the-heck shelter-in-place moments) and the Omens took on a whole new presence and holography. So that got me thinking, and googling, and here I am...

Would you do anything different with the resistor values you mentioned? Any regrets with the 475be? Any other mod updates?

Just bought Zu Dirty Weekends. Out of the box they sounded boxy. Could hear what I thought were internal resonances and the need for more damping. I caulked the wood joints with green glue, Applied a few coats of acoust-X paint, a layer of 1/2 inch foam and 2 dowel braces between tweeter and full range. Much better, even my wife who really does not care noticed. Much cleaner sounding. I am shocked Zu lets these out of the factory without addressing these issues.
