Reply to comment by Lelouch25 in Any DT-880 pro Modders out there? by Kiiran_B

See, I don't know if the grill is that blocked off in itself, I thought the dampening ring was what did that, the general consensus seems to be not to mess with it at all, but the tinkerer in me just wants to find out šŸ˜‚.

haha you're not wrong though. The mod kits sold dampens the ring and the mid section.

here's a video.

I watched that video last night šŸ˜‚. I didn't personally understand why you would completely close off the inside though, his end result was lower highs if I remember correctly, which is fine, but it seemed a lot of work when the paper mod works pretty well.

I'm completely ignorant in this field though, so maybe I'm missing something.

Is the paper mod placed inside the cups? Then Iā€™d imagine that would decrease clarity. Anyway maybe they sound the same but the guy shows measurements of before and after so there is a measurable difference.

You of course can copy his method with similar materials if you like. šŸ˜‡

Yeah it just goes over the driver itself, I couldn't tell a difference back then, DIY audio heaven shows graphs before and after, lows and mids remain the same from what I remember, treble peak was reduced. I'm guessing like you say, detail was reduced, so I might test it without the paper again.
