Features

  • ALL NEW network design
  • Fully custom build
  • Pure point to point connections.  No PCB and no wiring between components
  • All capacitors are manufactured by Sonicap and are matched
  • Alpha Core 16ga copper foil inductors
  • Mills resistors
  • Your choice of full Onix IT-001 12ga OFC wire, Onix IT-001 12ga OFC wire with copper connectors or Onix IT-001 12ga OFC wire with wire nuts
  • Heat Shrink tubing applied to applicable connections
  • Vampire and Cardas silver solder used for all connections
  • 60 durometer rubber washers are provided to keep your new crossover from vibrating against the cabinet
  • SPAX serrated screws are supplied for easy installation
  • PLUS: Everyone receives two NoRez Strips for the top plate overhang. This is because the surface reflections from the overhang causes a 1db rise in response at 2.5kHz followed by a 1.5db dip at 3.5kHz. That peak can cause a little bit of a brightness. Adding the strip of No Rez there will do away with the reflection and give you a smooth response.

All New Network!
Unlike anything you have seen yet for the RS750, the RS750 Ninja Master is completely new

Developed by Danny Richie of GR Research exclusively for Skiing Ninja Systems, the benefits of the RS750 Ninja Master crossover are:

  •  Installs into both the Rocket RS750 Classic and RS750 Signature loudspeakers.
  •  Balanced amplitude.
  •  Minimal driver overlap with a higher and easier to drive impedance load.
  •  Control the resonance break-up mode of the woofers.
  •  Maintain a clean spectral decay (no stored energy).
  •  Higher degree of phase accuracy.
  •  Consistent off axis response both vertically and horizontally.
Crossover Benefits
Overall  you will notice a higher level of detail, texture, focus, superior sound stage, dynamics, musicality, and transparency.  What does that mean?  We use as few components in our networks as possible.  This allows the cleanest signal to be passed to your speakers.  Rest assured this does not change the frequency response of the speaker or the overall character. 
Texture – all of the ‘inner’ details of each instrument comes across clearly.  The ‘live’ feel comes across so well because the subtleties that are normally lost are finally present.  The more revealing the overall presentation is, the more convincing it is. 
Focus – We tightly match our components.  While most components are 5 or even 10% tolerance, we use only 5% or less tolerance components and then we hand match them so that each pair of networks is 500 to 1000% better than the stock crossover. 
Sound stage – moves the sound stage from being within the confines of the speaker and moves it out, up, and behind the speaker.  This helps recreate the sense of space and volume of the original performance.
Dynamics – Our networks use high quality Mills resistors and Alpha-Core copper foil inductors.  This means no masking of top end detail, no muddled midrange and more convincing slam on the low end.   There is a lot of techno mumbo jumbo about the why’s of this and it would be too much to detail here.  Contact us if you want more info.
 
Transparency – The ability for the speakers to remove themselves from the performance.  Our networks enhance this ability due to their magnetically correct layout, point to point build and superior quality components.

Musicality – The best part and why we are all here.  Everything your speakers used to do they will do better with Ninja Master networks and upgrades.

Additional Upgrades
We don't stop with crossover network upgrades.  A speaker's final sound quality is very much a sum of its parts.  The crossover network design, the crossover network parts quality, the cabinet, internal wiring, drive units and binding posts.  All of these items contribute to the end product - of which the goal is to simulate a live event with perfect accuracy.  Click the options info tab above for more information!

These PLAY MUSIC September 4, 2008
Reviewer: The Ninja Minions from Colorado  
This review was added by The Ninja Minions.  The source is either an email sent to us or internet posting.

It's been a week since install and I've been running these as much as I can to break them in. This XO is absolutely terrific. The best way to describe it is the sound quality is complete top to bottom...in terms of clarity and dynamics. There is punch, depth and a feeling of realism with this new XO. I don't intend to take anything away from the original 750's but these PLAY MUSIC. This design is a major change... I'm a believer in break-in and you are 100% right on cap break-in comment you made. I felt differences 20-30hrs into it. I was initially surprised by the high end energy. Things seemed coarse and brittle within the upper mids and highs ... however, things have smoothed out considerably with close to 50hrs on the caps. I had it cranking the other night playing some Lyle Lovett and it was truly amazing to hear what a difference design and high quality parts delivered. The other surprising thing was the quality of the bass being produced. There's definitely more bass. However, it's the quality of the bass.... well rounded, smooth, and without strain. Those 2 little woofers surprised me!!!!. I set toe-in out for slightly more off axis listening. My room needs a little treatment and the LPA-1 is not a warm amp (like a vintage B&K would be)....and these speakers are unforgiving!!!! They reveal everything. If your question is .... "was this what you were looking for".... my answer would be....absolutely (and more!). In fact, the next pair is getting the upgrade treatment, without question. It wouldn't be economical to mass produce speakers with the level of parts that are on this crossover without increasing the retail price out of the range of most consumers. The problem is that there's no going back once you're there !!!!!!! I was planning to post my comments on the board after a week of break-in. Congrats to you on an excellent product.... sounds like you're going to need to keep that soldering iron plugged in for a while. Liv

I put the kit (RS750 Ninja) together and does it sound good. Quite alot more soundstage and more crisp instead of the muddled sound. Such an improvement. Thanks for all your help and congrats. on the great mod. - Rod Neil

Friggin unbelievable September 4, 2008

You are the shit!!!!!!!!! Friggin unbelievable what this has done for the sound quality... these [AV123 Rocket RS750] are now the speakers I always thought they could be and should be. Install wasn't too bad but definitely a tight working space. Bass and midrange are drastically improved. Thanks a million! Kevin

RS750 Ninja Master... September 4, 2008
Reviewer: The Ninja Minions from Colorado  
This review was added by The Ninja Minions.  The source is either an email sent to us or internet posting.

I finished the install of the first Master Ninja with NoRez upgrade on the first of my Classic RS750s. I set them up to A/B them and the first person that took a listen besides me was my 11 year old son. I think he may have a job as an audio critic in the future. I asked him to tell me which one he liked better and why. He listened for a couple of minutes and chose the Ninja'd version {of course :>) } and then went on to explain "With that speaker there is more separation between the instruments. If you want to pick out one instrument like the drums, it is easier to do with that speaker. And the sound is bigger, more like live music. Also, you can feel the bass more with that one. The other one has all the instruments bunched up." Just hearing him say those words made the upgrade worth it. I was stunned! Very cool. All I can say is "Ditto" on what I heard as well. Such an amazing difference, even an 11 year old can hear it! Kurt
