2nd Pleiades linoleum Auratone 5C type speaker is ready


It was thermal glued yesterday at Vicky's.


Signal path:


YouTube - iPad mini headphones out, one channel - Pleiades Linoleum Auratone type 5C speaker


Some listening was also done with UHER 4200 but it is not ready ready. Crossover distortion is evident from it's power amplifier.


Most listening was done from iPad.


It is fun listing to coutant.org auditioning microphones, any pros or cons are immediately revealed.


Sounds very real especially on transients and on some of the best recordings ever made. Such as Billy Jean - Michael Jackson, Time - Alan Parsons Project


Tezcatlipoca - Ira, George did no way sound as good. All problems revealed.


In fact any recording having a harshness problem at any frequency band is embarrassingly revealed. This is a main role of a state of art monitoring speaker.


Would it be possible to remaster Tezcatlipoca, or to remix it at half speed? Then doubling the speed on playback.
Later addition: in fact the opposite may be required as the 4 track cassette session master is recoded at ordinary cassette speed.
Other way would be to play the 2 track cassette master and sending signals to the Neumann passive EQs, then to m-Audio micro track but monitoring done with 2 such linoleum full range speakers.
