    Power Supplies On ML ESL

    When one of my Electromotion ESL power supplies failed, I bought 2 of the Mean Well adapters in the picture (output: 15 V, 800 mA) They are high quality medical spec power supplies, with only 80 mV of ripple and high (400k hours) MTFB. The cable is only 1,8 m (6 feet) long, shorter than the...

    Power Supplies On ML ESL

    The Electromotion ESL original adapter (I have the European version) is marked G051T-150040B-1 (input: AC 100-240V, 50-60 Hz; output DC 15V, 0,4 A, center positive). Sometimes it is also referred to as G051T-150040-1 (without the B), which looks to be the same. It can easily be found on the...

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    Here are the frequency responses and the linear interpolations calculated with Wolfram Mathematica (red and green lines): both lines are -1.3 dB/octave. Sub 250 Hz range with Home Audio Fidelity convolution files (DRC); 1600 Hz - 20 kHz with slight (±3dB) 3-band parametric equalization (ROON eq...

    Electromotion ESL... has anyone replaced binding posts?

    Recently I realized how much those posts stink: playing a Reference Recording organ record (The Orchestral Organ - Jan Kraybill) they were rattling on low frequencies pedal notes! That took a lot of time to detect: in the first place I thought the rattling noise came from the panel (Oh my...!)...

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    You're right about the effect of the panels on comb filtering. Here are the frequency responses without smoothing (1 kHz to 22 kHz), blue is with panels. :D

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    Here are my ML with Oudimmo Akupan panels (5 cm thickness, 60x120 cm - 2"x 23.6"x 47.2"). Distance Akupan panels - wall: 5 cm (2"). Distance electrostatic panels - front wall: 1 m (about 39"). The graphic shows the difference between before/after panels positioning (blue = with panels). The...

    DAC for ESL

    Hi, new to the forum me too, but now my EM ESLs have been playing for almost two years in my room. :-) I've had different DACs (TacT, Wadia, Teac, and now Matrix Audio), and tone-color differences are certainly present, but mere nouances compared to the overall importance of room+(room...

    Do you use room correction with your ESL's

    I have a pair of Electromotion ESL and I use Dirac room correction on a Windows 10 PC. The PC happens to be also the main source, since my music collection is in .flac format (plus a thousand of CDs on the shelves). I've been using room correction since 2004, when the only option was the TacT...
