Has been posted a million times. The Excalibur II has shielding built with in the unit that help stabilize the theshold. This allows for better control of the sensitivity, both the threshold and sensitivity work together. The Excalibur II can be adjust indoors with all that EMI and still obtain a great stable threshold. This is so important that many benched there older units for the new ones when it came out.

Like BC said, Shielding on the outside of the pod, worked into the new decal. Then on the inside the yellow wire grounds the PCB then runs thur the endcap to the headphones. Slimline coil, upgraded battery. As far as performance, Been doing controlled air testing on each Excalibur I work on and recording the results, both models very close in this area, but it seems the older 1998 to 2006 models air test a little better (up to a inch+), seems some Excalibur's are Hotter then others also, even in the same Models, like one Excal II to another..Most issue with the excals II's are the cables, the adjustment pot's., and a few coils issue's. The older Blue Excalibur's have everything from cracking cables, O-Rings, cracking coils, cracking head phone wires but most of this is Due to the harsh environment, and age stress.

OldBeechnut a couple of questions please.


1. Do you putting sheilding on the older Excals, meaning does it help those models?

If so..........

2. Do you have a source for the sheilding material?

Thanks
