This can be easily found on the net and also in some retail stores (I bought it locally at Sam Ash). It is usually $49.99. I haven't opened it up yet, but if someone would like me to, I could. I decided to measure the low end FR of it though, to compare it to the more common ART Cleanbox. Judging the results, I think it is superior out of the box.



I've indicated the -3dB point, which is 6.8Hz. The -2dB point is 9Hz and the -1dB point is 13.6Hz.

-1dB = 13.6Hz
-2dB = 9Hz
-3dB = 6.8Hz
-6dB = 3.7Hz
-9dB = 2.2Hz

I personally think that is just fine and a mod would be unnecessary. What do you guys think?

That looks jam up to me. I would see no need to modify it if I owned one.

I think that the ART may have met it's match. That roll off below 10hz looks fine to me too. I can live with -2db at 9hz. To bad we didn't know about this before Christmas, it would've made a nice stocking stuffer!

Has anyone else bought one of these? How's the input sensitivity matching consumer/pro versus the CleanBox?

[WillyD]

Don't know of anyone else on the forums that has one. But hey, if you want one I'll sell you mine. I don't need it anymore.
