External Speakers for K3
Locked
 
|
I purchased a set of West Mountain COMspkr from HRO at Hamcation.
About $40.00 and they work and sound great. The black cabinets match the K3 set up very nicely.

I found a nice pair of the Optimus Minimus 7 speakers at a flea market for $10. They are a fine match for my K3 ... both audio and visual. 73, Mike WA5POK > I purchased a set of West Mountain COMspkr from HRO at Hamcation. > About $40.00 and they work and sound great.

I also use Optimus 7 speakers, they work better on my K3 than any other
speakers used so far. Easy to get on ebay.

I have a great radio speaker made in the 1950's by the National Radio
Company. 11x12x8 inch metal cabinet with 9-inch diameter speaker (no amplifier). K3 sounds very nice with it (I also have a Sony stereo headset when I need to hear even better). CM500 sometime in my future. The current HK computer speakers used with the KX3 will be replaced by a West Mountain amplified speaker which is immune to RFI (my wife is using a pair on her desk top to eliminate my RF). If Elecraft ever considers it, a generic K-line cabinet would be desirable for making a "pretty station". One could install whatever in it. No need for a speaker, power supply, and several other accessories that are obtainable anywhere. 73.

I have 2 sets of these for both of my K3's and they sound great plus they
are shielded and amplified. One of the best buys out there. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100--KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Bill Wiehe Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 7:19 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] External Speakers for K3 I purchased a set of West Mountain COMspkr from HRO at Hamcation.

Hmmmm..Great, be nice if they could be run on 240/50Hz though for those of
us languishing in the dark dim ages.....:-( Oh just kidding...... I use the amplified speaker for the KX3 in the mobile and it helps a lot by adding some volume to the audio for those of us hearing challenged folks. 73 On 23 April 2013 18:38, Fred Smith <[hidden email]> wrote: > I have 2 sets of these for both of my K3's and they sound great plus they > are shielded and amplified.

While I tend to agree with the OP I also understand that it would be a rather mundane task for Elecraft to manufacture speakers and that their talents are bettert utilized in updating firmware, advancing the technology inside our great rigs and so on. What I did do to achieve great audio was put a pair of 5.5" Dynaudios (Danish audiophile grade woofer/mid-range drivers) in a pair of gray PVC junction boxes obtained from Home Depot. I cut the appropriate-sized mounting holes in the cover panels, stuffed some cotton balls inside, ran some tiny speaker wires through a small hole in the back and mounted the speakers with some nice stainless steel screws. Arguably overkill but since I already had the drivers on hand I thought why not put them to good use? They now elegantly perch atop my gear---and best of all---make the K3 loud and clear! 73, Jeff, NH7RO Sent from my home computer while eating a bowl of oats for breakfast. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

My all time favorite speakers for general HF work is the classic old
Motorola Land-Mobile Speakers. Not the newer plastic ones, but the old metal ones with the cream colored frame. I put rubber feet on the bottom and sit them on the desk next to or on top of my K3.
