Latest Consummate Backplate

[SL_nirvana]

I am looking for a picture of the latest version of Consummate backplate. Anyone who has it or take pictures, and share? Not interested in “AC-powerless connection”, but especially single air-core inductor placement. Attached is my Consummate innards picture.

I have Millenium 2 pair with PX membranes and Consummate backplates, Toroid 2, 24uF/11.75ohm HF network and midrange selectable iron-core inductors. Planning to optimize it for my OTL monoblock amplifiers (similar to Atmasphere MA2), as part of the changes remove the brilliance and midrange controls and inductors, replace with 1.5mH air core foil inductor 14, possibly 12 awg (may require mounting on the base of the backplate wood box). Will appreciate if anyone can share a pic so I get ideas for latest and ideal air-core inductor placement.

I am also planning to tweak the HF network to 16uF/15.7ohm, and a few other small tweaks for Toroid 2 transformer compensation to better match with my OTL power amp and remove highest octave roll off due to impedance alignment. Will update how it goes as I make progress… If you have done these kinds of mods in your backplates for OTL power amps, will appreciate your experience and comments.

Thanks,
Max
