Ciare CH250

Ciare CH250 adding custom wooden phase plugs

Drivers with phase plug designs always attracts my attention for some reason. I find them look aesthetically sharp and precise even if they are not playing, and they are child proof too! Dust caps however, as the name suggest, the duty is to protect dust or any alien objects from entering the voice coil gaps. My experience in adding phase plugs to some of my mid or full range drivers has always been positive in terms of aesthetic and sonic reproduction. 
Below are the pictures showing the process from removing the dust caps, milling the wooden phase plugs using my makeshift wood turning lathe and the final work.
