Hi there all,
EDIT 2: All the scratch/dent units are now sold - I may have one more unit available later in the week if anyone is still interested. Thank you for the support!
A couple of things.
Firstly, we're at the end of this batch of Surround Masters, and we have 4 units (possibly 5) that have too many physical quality issues, so we're selling them at a discounted price of US$549.
I believe you can still apply the QQ discount, but not the previous-owners discount for these ones. I'll attach a few pics here to show the extent of it. It's not major physical defects or anything, but it's not what you'd want from a new product. One of the units even has a partially lasered set of signatures from myself, Chucky and Chris that didn't burn through the coating properly. If you want that one, just purchase it on the page and message me that you want that one - first in best dressed as they say. EDIT: Signed unit has been sold.
I'm giving the QQ forum first access before I make it visible to the public. Here's the link:
https://involveaudio.com/product/surround-master-v3-scratch-dent-limited-to-4-units/
They're all still fully functional and warrantied, just physically not up to snuff. Which brings me to point 2:
...we're moving to a new case that should hopefully eliminate this sort of issue. We'll be using our own extrusion, and the front and rear panels will have a bit more overhang around the case itself. It's a small change but overall makes it easier to manufacture and avoid these sorts of defects. Will share images of that when we've got them, and we'll update the product page accordingly with images but this batch won't be ready until early next year. Pre-orders will be available soon and the usual discounts apply for QQ members and previous owners.
We will also be updating the 6 Channel Amplifier (HEX amp) to this case design. This will allow for better heat dissipation, better internal airflow and potentially allow us to include a small fan if we need to, or if we release a higher-powered version (Yes, even more power if you can believe it)
Coming Soon: We have shipped a couple of Y4 units to the U.S - one to the east coast and one to the west coast - they'll be set up and tested soon and hopefully at some point in the future will be available to have a listen if you're nearby. You will finally be able to experience one of our flagship technologies - Sweet Spot (formerly Total Perspective - us engineering lot much prefer the original name but whatever) - this is our patented sweet spot widening technology, and yes it works. The Y4 is for home setups, but we've used Sweet Spot in a full-sized cinema to demonstrate to a tech company a few years back, and the result was breathtaking.
Finally, a quick update on the pre-amp - work continues on the software, and the hardware prototypes are going into production now.
Thanks for your support, roll on Christmas!
