You must be a Virgo like me! LOL Everything perfect! Looks awesome Liam!
Taurus.
and thank you! 
I got the WDW bug from seeing your rig. That pedalboard was next level.
I've put my back out just looking at that! I also can't help but think you're missing a Quad Cortex and Kemper Player... Only joking - it looks like epic fun and is beautifully put together. It also gives some insight as to why the V2 looks so neat & tidy...
I bet they haven't "fixed" a single FR under warranty. Seems sketchy as
. The horn sounds nasty to me. I bet I am right. The driver has a heat sink on it like the cheap headrush / alto HF driver. Hoping the threads are standard. This will be an easy fix.
Is there a better one that would improve the high end? If so could you suggest one and do you think it's worth doing an upgrade?
Am am going to dig deeper into that soon.
Agreed. I've been able to play through other speakers with a different configuration, and preamp hiss aside, there is a noticeable difference, which to my ears represents an improvement. I believe that is why the Resound Elis.8s seemed so mellow to me at first.I bet they haven't "fixed" a single FR under warranty. Seems sketchy as
But yes the IC swap fix absolutely still hisses .. just less.
Even the V2 still hisses a tiny bit. I can make it pretty much dead silent.... But the price wouldst jive with most of us.
Here is a conversation starter:
They have stopped calling the horn a compression driver in all the recent marketing. I believe it is a cheap piezo. I am about to drop the truth. Publically
What say you good folks?
PlansIf I were to replace the cut filter for the cut knob.. and instead make it a dedicated level control for the horn... it would eliminate an eq stage and allow us to cut the horn off completely. it would just require an anti-log pot . And as a bonus it would mean even less noise (about 25% reduction) and less components,
It would not be faithful to the original design, but a drastic improvement I think.
That and a proper compression driver (if it will couple to the stock waveguide).. and the FR will be a major contenter.
Just thinking out loud.
And just like that a new rabbit hole appeared right before his eyes!If I were to replace the cut filter for the cut knob.. and instead make it a dedicated level control for the horn... it would eliminate an eq stage and allow us to cut the horn off completely. it would just require an anti-log pot . And as a bonus it would mean even less noise and less components,
What if the cut knob worked exactly like the stock knob from 7:00 to 12:00 and then rolls off to zero from 12:00 a 5:00? It would not be as faithful to the original design, but a drastic improvement I think.

Who's responsible for dangling that carrot in front of Liam?! LOL
Perhaps you should just produce a FR12 competitor? Maybe contract with a cabinet company? I would certainly be interested.If I were to replace the cut filter for the cut knob.. and instead make it a dedicated level control for the horn... it would eliminate an eq stage and allow us to cut the horn off completely. it would just require an anti-log pot .
