The in-line Kameleon filter is an active equalizer with easy to insert modules that are taylored for specific headphones. The device goes between any source (as long as it is around line level) and your headphone amp. It corrects the frequency response of certain headphones (those where filtermodules have been designed for) so the tonal balance becomes more even. When you absolutely adore the tonal balance of your headphones as they are and like them for their coloration than this is not for you. When you like your headphones but would love them to not have that peak in the treble or to have a better extension or more ‘correct’ tonal balance and you don’t want to (have) your headphones modified and don’t want (or can) use digital EQ then this might be your answer.  This is intended as a D.I.Y. project. Bare PCB’s (so without components) are available. To order them contact me via the contact form . prices of bare (not populated) PCB’s: Kameleon in-line board (black) = sold out Filter Module PCB (SMD, black) = € 2.85 Crossfeed Module PCB (SMD, green) = € 4.60 Shipping costs depend on weight and destination. Goes through ‘normal’ mail in an envelope so NO exhuberant shipping costs of just a few Euros max. boards left in stock (as of June 2017): in-line board: 0 filter PCB: 4 Crossfeed PCB: 11 The construction manual for this can be downloaded HEREFor kits, PCB's and built devices see: G1217 |

Both the silver and black prototypes are were for sale, both are now sold.  The silver one has vertical action switches the black one has horizontal action switches. When you buy one I can set the 'on' positions of the switches to your preference. Will also include 1 or 2 filter modules of your choice and a connection cable to connect to any G1217 amplifier. Can also be used with other amplifiers but then you will need to buy a 24V power supply for it. No idea if and when a G1217 version will become available and what it will cost. |

How much for shipping to India? How much for insurance? And warranty?

Does this need a separate PSU or can it directly connect to my Ember? Weight and dimensions?

How does it connect to Ember? What wire? Where to connect in the ember?

Believe you plug the Ember's PSU into the back of the Kameleon and then you run another short connecting lead from the Kamleon to the Ember. Imagine the construction guide Frans has linked will give you specifics on the connecting cable.

It's exactly how Mark describes as far as the power goes. You plug-in the filter and that there is a connection to the amplifier. With other amplifiers you would need a separate power supply.
There is a phone no connection as well between the filter and the amp. The signal is fed into the filter which feeds the signal into the amp.
So on the filter there is a stereo phono in and stereo phono out that connects into the back of the amp.

And warranty?
I think that you have to remember Aakshey, that Frans is not a retailer. He is a private individual who has designed these filters and made them for testing.
If you are worried about things like guarantees et cetera then it might be better to wait for it to actually be released by a retailer like Jeremy. Having said that I really don't think that Frans will send a unit out that was not working. Well, I know that he wouldn't!!!
We seem to forget that Frans is an individual member and not a retailer. I reckon that he is providing these units for sale for people similar to me who can't put the bloody things together!! (Well actually, I probably could but nothing like as neat as Frans does!!!! ) Check my helis and you'll see how neat I am!!!
So really, they are second hand in that respect and you need to wait for Jeremy in order to get new ones with shop guarantees and return policies....

Indeed as Mark already said.
Plug adapter into the filterboard.
Use supplied short power lead from Kameleon to Ember and switch Ember 'on'.
The power switch on the front of the Kameleon switches on BOTH the filter and Ember (or whatever G1217 amp)
As Ian stated.
see it as second hand... it's a prototype so no front lettering and perfect machined drilling etc.
No official warranty with it.

How much is shipping to India with insurance/without insurance? How much will Jeremy sell it for in the future? When?

There are no built versions available.
Only 8 bare PCB's left.
I have no idea IF and WHEN Jeremy will sell them and for which price when they become available.
It does not exist yet in G1217 style.
Will have to design it first.
Shipping prices always depend on the shipper and kind of shipment (tracked, insured, signed for), and weight.
As none of this is known (as it simply does not exist yet) and don't know how Jeremy ships his stuff it is safe to say... I don't know.
When the Kameleon becomes available all pricing will undoubtably be shown on G1217 website.

I'm talking of your €150 fully built non Garage style versions. The second hand versions.
