Ascilab C8C V1.1 Measurement Update

[LordxNohman]

Curious do you think this issue with hyperx support would love you away from the brand for a V2 of this speaker or future active speakers?

Why would it? It doesn't seem to be a lack of Hypex's willingness to support but rather an OEM feature which until now has probably never been requested. Hypex might as well implement that in near future but I'd expect such design changes in the update path, with testing to take ~6 months time at least. Anyway, AsciLab promised they'd update all pre-ordered unitis remotely (upon request, I guess), if that's the best short term solution. Newer batches will surely be delivered with V1.1 installed. And for people who use the BX8C there's apparently no change at all (on P3).

Further I'd not expect a version 2 of these speakers, cause there's nothing more you can meaningfully improve. But different designs (with different compromises) will be offered down the road. For this one, only color customisation would be an open playground.

This would lead me to believe engagement with them has been less than ideal..."So we're gonna ask to Hypex one time more, If we receive there is no way, We'll update the filter one by one through remote support."

There is always something to improve even just cabinet quality/finish, but in this instance I was referring to a solution that had the ability to load an entire new firmware rather than incrementally upload individual filters.
