    It concerns the 2U 1x112 30db 5G (Product Code Mistral 0240), there are also other codes without 5G, with FM input and different db (40 and 50db).

    In the product photos that are circulating (even on the Mistral website, the photos are wrong), there is confusion. I am listing the correct ones for the 5G (0240) from the actual installation. And here on Skroutz, although the title says 1x112 B, if you pay attention to the stores below, they have listed the correct 2U 1x112 30db 5G.

    It was installed in the position of the central Beam, which was 2x32db UHF inputs and 112db output, in a 6-story apartment building. This little Mistral with the potentiometer set to max handled everything perfectly, with 100% quality and 96-98% power consistently in every weather condition in the apartment (with a 2-way split and 2x3-way split - a total of six apartments), from Piraeus with a Yagi 15 antenna pointing towards Ymittos and it also has a 5G filter (please note that we are talking about the 0240 model).

    Much better picture compared to the 10-15-year-old beam, without any pixelation (truly crystal clear and stable image on HD channels).

    ATTENTION: It is only for UHF (television), it does not receive VHF/FM & SAT... and it does not power active antenna dipoles... but for €25 it does its job perfectly (for television in small apartment buildings).

    No comparison with the HS110! The HS110 measures real-time, daily, weekly consumption...
    This P110 here measures whatever it wants. It doesn't measure real-time consumption, the screen shows the consumption at the moment you open it but it doesn't refresh it... for example, every second. You have to change the screen, go back again, and then it refreshes it...
    The charts and the daily/monthly totals also measure whatever they want... You may see, let's say, 400W in a moment, and the application in the daily view shows a maximum of 170W... Whatever... It's terrible for what TPL sells it as, the Energy Consumption. No comparison with HS110.
    If it doesn't have a serious update soon to fix it, it's going for one star...

    Well, I had optical cables for years that cost 15-20 euros, "not noname" and I thought the sound was crystal clear. But as soon as I plugged in this one, the resolution went through the roof! Both in the tos-tos version on the Pioneer dv600av cd player, and in the mini tos-tos version on the mibox s. YES, and yet even on the mibox s, the sound is crystal clear from Spotify premium, regardless of the fact that the box only provides 16bit 44khz through optical. And both machines pass through to a Yamaha receiver with a 24/96 dac.

    I know, I know, I used to say that it's a digital pass through cable, a bit is a bit and it's enough to pass through, so it's a trap and expensive digital cables are a waste of money. But in practice, the difference is clear! (and it's not a placebo effect)

    Anyone who wants to upgrade their sound and doesn't have an amplifier with HDMI, I highly recommend the 50-euro one...

    The supernova with glass at 200... that's probably an exaggeration, unless the rest of the system is equivalent.

  • Machine that you pay for and the design...
    In heating 24/7 (only AC) from 200 to 350Khw per month, depending on the cold.
    Defrosting only once in the winter of 19-20 (external unit monster)... Athens of course, but it hit 0C outside with 80%+ humidity.
    Noise... Nothing outside, inside I don't know if it gets quieter for its btu.
    The 3D i-sense works fine in cooling but in heating it cannot prevent cold drafts, it needs to switch to manual setting.
    A paradox: Eurovent gives 6KW in heat/average, but Mitsubishi gives 6.8KW everywhere and on the machine.
    The wifi is easy for monitoring and remote management, but the application would be good to have an update soon, it is outdated. In iOS it shows consumption, in android/windows NO!
    Definitely overpriced, but if you consider the famous competition and design, it is definitely worth it...

  • At 50€ it's worth it if you have a subscription to Netflix and Spotify. With wifi: Netflix picture is excellent in 1080p, Spotify works comfortably...

    The back 3.5mm headphone jack also outputs optical spdif with an adapter... Now (November 2020) with the latest update, you go to sounds, select spdif out and you have spdif out on Netflix as well, with 5.1 DD downgraded from DD+... The good became perfect!

    Now, it's an Android TV so don't expect to do everything you can do with an Android mobile, but for Netflix, Youtube, Spotify, and Screen Mirroring it's great!

    • Image Quality
    • Does it disconnect/freeze?
    • Easy to use
    • Value for money
    • Sound quality
  • As appearance goes, it's all subjective... Personally, it's nicer than it looks, truly quiet (reaches 18db in heating mode on paper) and efficient for a 12-15sqm bedroom... 4 stars instead of 5 because it doesn't come with the extra factory filter and wifi (both can be added later).

    In my space, it "inverts" at 250 watts and then turns off...

  • For EDM/House and generally anything that requires a good and controlled subwoofer and good stereo soundstage... They are simply ideal! You don't need to look elsewhere...(I can't imagine how much money you would have to spend on a system to get the same low frequency response from speakers, it's hard to find such a controlled subwoofer anywhere else!)
    You will hear the beats differently... they are distinct and accurately represent the frequency without unnecessary distortions. The beat goes from "boom" to having character!!! (okay, that might be an exaggeration but that's the feeling and for anyone interested, I hope the description was enough - VMODA delivers down to 5hz...). The high frequencies do not tire and naturally give a hi-fi feeling, the soundstage reveals every little detail in the composition.
    Maybe in the low-mid range (150-250hz) they lose a bit of resolution.. (let's not forget that they have a classic V-shaped signature sound)... for example, the bass drum in metal/rock is not always distinct and upfront, but this might be due to the production and another pair of flat headphones might reproduce it better. (for example, to give an idea that most people will understand in classical music: the kick drum of Ulrich/Metallica sounds fine, but the one of Nicko/IronMaiden gets lost somewhere).
    They have their own character and can be directly connected to a laptop or mobile phone, BUT YOU NEED A GOOD DAC to elevate them and bring out all the above!
    The short cable with microphone is TRRS.
    The long one is TRS (be careful, it doesn't work with all 3.5mm jacks, for example, on PC motherboards).

    The noise isolation is amazing, when music is playing you can't hear what's happening around you... But others can hear what you're listening to, they let the sound pass through even though they are closed back.

    Bonus... There are also extra XL cushions:

    Also check out:
    - BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pro (80 or 250ohm) - More flat response and audiophile than the LP2.
    - Audio Technica M50x - More balanced sound.
    - Vmoda M100 - Less v-shaped sound and better mids.
    The LP2 is more bass-heavy than the other three... (in EDM with good low frequencies and relatively high volume, the headphones vibrate in your ears BUT they don't distort or get muffled!)

    Vmoda LP series = Live Play = club sound
    Vmoda M series = Monitor sound
