T1 Version 2
« on: August 02, 2015, 05:27:37 PM »
So is this Beyer's answer to the pirate disdains?

http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/newt1.pdf

- Redesigned baffle structure to reduce high frequency resonance
- New dampening fabric material
- Increased bass response
- Interchangeable 7N OCC cables with balanced option
- Practical carrying case instead of "crack at the hinge" aluminum box

I actually liked the bass on the T1.  Didn't feel like it needed any more - just needed some channel balancing and control of the 10k peak.

It'll be interesting to see some measurements/internal pics.

Maybe it will be an improvement. Time will say.

Well, there goes any hope of selling off my unit for a reasonable price. Time to head over to the bourbon thread to figure out what to use to down my sorrows.

hello,

it would be nice if Beyerdynamic had a competitive flagship on the market. let's just hope it doesn't turn out like the K812.

So they took a page from my dampening mod. High frequency resonances being muffles by new fabric... hrm....

The increased bass response does seem like a good idea though. The T1 is still a bit bass light in ways.

They need to fix the treble on those Beyers Zombie. It truly was messed up.

I wonder if Beyer would sell the new baffle frame as parts:

Or I can glue some 1mm carbon fibre rods to the existing frame to stiffen it.

T1 was already selling around 500$ dollars new. You can't sell old ones with reasonable price anyway.
