Omen-2 Jupiter Upgrade Kit

$279.00

Upgrade your Omen Mk.II loudspeakers with this easy DIY Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax Capacitor Kit—only basic screwdriver skills required.

Omen-2 Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax Capacitor Upgrade Kit has correct length leadouts that are prepped and terminated so you don’t have to mess with stripping Teflon or soldering.

This kit replaced the the tweeter’s high-pass network. More information on the differences and what you can expect from this kit are discussed further down.

Video (link below) shows the upgrade being performed on the DW-6. It is similar to the Omen-2, the difference is there’s no foam piece to remove on the Omen. No, you don’t want to add any foam either, the Omen and the DW-6 are very different funtionally—DO NOT CHANGE THE INTERNAL FOAM ARRAMGMENT.

  • #1 square drive screwdriver

What Are The Sound Differences Between The Standard, ClarityCap MR, And Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax?

Compared to the base model’s ClarityCap MR the Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax, the Jupiter gives you a nice bump in smoothness and holography, where the recreated sound space is more “reach out and touch you” and buttery, but without sacrificing any detail in resolution. Differences are most noticed in tone-laden dynamic and dense program material, like singer-songwriter, folk, glitch and noise music. There is less difference between them in big orchestra and modern metal recordings.

What Capacitors Came In Omen Mk.II Speakers?

ClarityCap MR capacitors as standard.
