01
User selectable, heat sink mounted resistor array
The series resistors were installed to be user selectable between the three best brands in the business. All were heat sink mounted to a large custom heat sink. Even under demanding sessions, measurable heat remains at room temperature.
02
Heat sink mounted bass resistors, custom mounting
All substrates were designed and laser cut. Extreme space limitations. Note bass inductor layout is from the stock layout and could not be altered due to space constraints.
03
Custom substrates and mounts
Over 250 hours of design, construction and install labor.
