SpUnLy58 1.2
Giraffasax updated the SpUnly58. Iteration V1.2 of this monoblock split comes with adjusted spacing, splay, and stagger.
Published October 17, 2023
Compared to the original SpUnLy58, Giraffasax made several changes to the layout and PCB of this wireless split.
The creatively named SpUnLy58 (Splayed Unibody LiLy58) has been slightly refined to fix previous oversights and improve my personal comfort – Giraffasax.
