Post by: Nick Graham on March 18, 2004, 02:23:56 AM: Could be one of 2 things...either they're the hyper caps (which just screw onto the regular cards) or the "polar presence booster" which I never used when I ran them...

Post by: owen on March 18, 2004, 02:46:51 AM: I think it might be the polar presence booster what are they four.

:lol:

The small kinda hockey puck shaped one is the presance boost......supposed to, I believe, add mid/high freq boost.

The conical plastic thing, when placed over the cap, makes them hypers.

Post by: Kindguy on March 19, 2004, 09:44:10 AM: The larger one with the foam inside makes it hyper.
Title: Re:akg c1000s
Post by: mirth on March 20, 2004, 01:01:01 AM: The cone shaped cap when properly mounted on the diaphragm will convert it to a hyper.
The other cap, the 'presence' booster, is supposed to boost the treble response by +10dB.

Sorry 'bout that before. I was a little fiesty last night.
