Yes, although I think there will be restrictions on what thickness material=
 is possible because of the close spacing. The position of the earphone jac=
k is also a problem.=0D

Hi Peter,=0D
By winged are you thinking of a boundary shaped somewhat like this...=0D

...where the corners of the m10 protrude through a slot at the vertex of ea=

won't be changed. Probably about the best that could be done to alter the M=

you would find an improvement in stereo image, but it would be a lot easier=
