"Monster" v.2 Prototype Due Soon

Recommended Posts

Some may recall the 2008 prototype "Monster" woofer that inspired features later found in several other drivers we make today.

It's been shelved for some time... but a second revision of the prototype has been started on and we'll have some testing coming up.

* Compounded smooth machining on the top plate with the NS v.2 style cross drilling. I am testing more with a top shorting ring on this design -- that is not necessarily something that will see production.

* Again you see numerous smooth transitions on the back plate so we don't have excess steel where it's not needed (weight concerns). Also makes it look very interesting and unique.

The goal is to replicate what I liked about the "Monster" prototype and to address some things I thought could be better.

It will not actually be called Monster for legal reasons... but we call it that as a nick-name.

This is a triple stack 250mm (10 inch) slug design like the Monster v.1 prototype... so it's very heavy and has a bunch of motor force behind it.

Will it have the same destiny as the Monster v.1, just something you play around and when you see improvements they are implemented to your regular line of woofers.

Or you are thinking about selling some?

I may actually sell them this time -- with a huge disclaimer about motor weight needing to be supported ;)

Time travel link here... from 2008 :)

The project was put on hold for MUCH longer than I initially thought... thread ended in 2009 originally and nothing had really happened since then and until recently. We got tied up developing so many other more mass market products for the last 2 years or so.

Thank god you said it before me, I didn't want to be the first one to say something :roflmao:

I love that avatar, it just gets you like, ahhhh, mind kinda goes blank for a sec, and you have to focus, to get out of focusing on wondering who the heck is that sexy mofo.

On topic, Sundown, you are never ending with new products are you guys!? wow, keep em coming. I wonder if working on so many different things at once is slowing down any productivity for those projects?? Any who, keep it up! :fing34:

Due to the high e-mail volume we receive at Sundown Audio it may take some time to respond to your inquiry. If you do not receive a reply within 2 or 3 days it is advisable to re-send your e-mail to make sure we received it. Thanks for your patience.
