K2 external speaker?
Locked
 
|
I'd like to have my ham & SWL radios use the same decent quality
external speaker by routing audio probably via one of the lower end Behringer UBxx02 mixers. Does anyone have a favorite external speaker he'd recommend? Soundsweet.com, MFJ, "makes little difference as long as its big" :-), others? Thanks!

I also have a soundsweet and it is indeed a nice speaker -- very large (about 1 foot per side) and a bit pricey ($130.00 rings a bell, but they charged me sales tax as a NY resident) , but all in all very nice.

Mike,
Yes, a mixer will do a fine job of that task, and you may even want to route the computer soundcard through it as well. For speakers, I have previously built a small external amplified speaker that I have tailored the range for best communications for my ears, but I am moving to a setup with a full range good quality stereo system (yes, I also use it to listen to music). For communications quality sound tailored to my ears, I use a good quality stereo graphic equalizer between the ham gear and the stereo system - I have 5 frequency bands in half octave steps and a 12 dB boost or cut for each band. If you are considering a mixer, you may want to add a graphic equalizer (or buy a mixer with adequate equalization control capability for each channel) and feed a higher quality music system rather than having several small special purpose speakers - you will end up with cleaner audio because of the lower distortion in the better amplifiers and speakers - but beware, this is not a 'small bookshelf' implementation. I will eventually build my own custom 'mixer' that will handle several radios for both input and output and incorporate the computer soundcard for both digital modes and recording - all is in the plan, now I just have to get it all together. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'd like to have my ham & SWL radios use the same decent quality > external speaker by routing audio probably via one of the lower end > Behringer UBxx02 mixers.
