HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 24, 2022 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 @Tim This S vector internal magnet is the second generation rotating internal magnet for Med-El and it is stronger which helps keep the Rondo3 in place and oriented the correct direction.

Members Tim Posted October 24, 2022 Members Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Thanks! That is what my med-el rep said too. I wonder if it might be a difference in the weight distribution or some assymmetry in the magnet to help keep it oriented right. The youtube video of a Kanso user showed how easily he could get his rotated 180 degrees so the processor's 2 microphones were pointed in the opposite direction. When turned, instead of a forward focus, he had a rear focus so he would really have problems until repivoting the processor. His girlfriend was often the one to notice the problem visually. While not a major problem, it seems like a little design problem in the processor/magnet. Glad to hear that Rondo users don't seem to have the same problem.
