New Volt nose box

[John Morrison]

Quick heads up, the new version of the Volt nose box is coming soon, I will be getting one as part of a used Volt system. 

Unfortunately the new nose box does not come with the screw threads on the front and rear, so if you are using 3rd party monitor mounts like camjam they will not fit, odd decision to leave them of the new model.

From the website "For use with M2 Volt Stage circuit board and harness, following Volt 3 conversion. " Interesting that they are selling a new style box to put the volt 1/2 brain into once M2 topstage users have the Volt 3 installed. I don't see what's wrong with the original box design. I have the brain box for my M1 flat topstage and mount my low mode monitor off the front of it with the bracket Tiffen sells which screws onto the front of the brain. I am disappointed that they are needlessly changing things. I'm sure the board and harness which are meant to be inside the M2 top stage are a different size/shape from the original, but like why take away the additional mount points on the box?

I am also frustrated that the Volt 3 is not modular with the M1 topstage.
