this also applies to any lower end monitor. has anyone ever notices how much cabinet resonance these things have? has anyone ever disassembled them and added and sort of internal bracing or dampening to the cabinets in their monitors? what about upgrading the tiny tiny gauge speaker wire inside?

Is the DMP3 sturdy enough for on-location work, in the hands of a caring adult?

I've been hunting around a bit for a Rane MS1b strictly for location work, but I'm thinking the DMP3 might be better suited. Especially for ORTF, etc, double-mic techniques, since it is two channels.

any like, parts list, price estimate, or material ideas much appreciated
