Seeking external speaker recommendations

I am looking for recommendations on external speakers for the K3. I am
primarily interested in voice modes. I would use these primarily in my shack. My contesting has thus far been limited to Field Day, but who knows where this might lead. ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

?Hi George -
The most popular recommendation is for low-impedance unpowered speakers. Wayne, N6KR of Elecraft, recommends these. Cheap computer speakers work well, but may not offer the frequency response you want. Radio Shack has speakers. Powered speakers are subject to RF interference as they are usually poorly bypassed. I use Apple powered speakers that I modified to eliminate the buzz and squeals from RF interference. 73, Monty K2DLJ I am looking for recommendations on external speakers for the K3.

George,
The back up rig here is an Icom 746Pro that I had also purchased the SP-20. The speaker has twin inputs, so one from the K3/100 & one from the 746Pro. I can't really attest to the SSB quality, as I never use that mode. But, the sound quality for CW when using the K3 is fantastic. It has 4 selectable audio filters. Best of luck with your search. 73 Jim - KE8G ---- "George A. Thornton" <[hidden email]> wrote: > I am looking for recommendations on external speakers for the K3.

George,
Scour the second-hand stores and pawn shops in your area for some efficient bookshelf stereo speakers with good fidelity. I found a pair of RS Optimus speakers a while back and am enjoying using them with my K3. It is difficult to find reasonably priced, small, unamplified speakers these days, but they used to be plentiful. Try to steer clear of the computer type amplified speakers. While they will work, they are often affected by RF and can set off a nasty noise when you transmit. You can find bookshelf speakers new at audio stores and places like Best Buy, but they are not inexpensive. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/25/2010 2:25 AM, George A.

Don,
On a "tip" from one of the guys working in the Elecraft booth at Dayton a couple of years ago, I purchased a pair of Insignia speakers at Best Buy. I don't see the model number on them, but they are 4", 3-way speakers rated at 5 to 40 watts. Black case that are 4 3/4" wide, 7 1/2" tall, and a little over 4" deep. They are a about an inch taller than the K3 (when the stand is out), but look very nice next to the K3; and they sound good. That is my 2 cents worth.

I used the SP-20 on my K3 for a while, mainly on SSB. I didn't like it. I
could never get enough volume out of the speaker without distortion from the K3 to suit me. Incidentally, I also used it on a 746 Pro and never experienced this problem. I know everyone is going to say get an unpowered speaker, but I purchased the West Mountain Radio COMspkr for $40 and they work very well and sound really good to me (use your 8 band RX EQ to tailor the audio) and I've never experienced RFI problems, even at Kilowatt Plus power levels. The volume level issue that bugged me with the SP-20 is also a non-issue, of course. Powered speakers may not be for everyone, but 40 bucks isn't a lot to spend after you've plopped down over $3K for a rig, especially you don't want to hassle with finding the speaker that gives you the volume level that you're looking for.

I use these:
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/computer_speakers/companion_2/index.jsp I use them both on K3 and laptop audio out. Using the K3's RX EQ is useful for tailoring the bass audio, since these speakers have quite a bit of bass response.

All,
The Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers came highly recommended. Unfortunately they are not available new anymore although you may find them at a flea. As I remember, they are not too efficient. The other 2 speakers that are efficient are the Heath SB-600 and the Drake MS-4. Both sound very good. 73 Gene K1NR On Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:33:45 -0600 "Dick Williams" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Don, > > On a "tip" from one of the guys working in the Elecraft > booth at Dayton a > couple of years ago, I purchased a pair of Insignia > speakers at Best Buy.

I'm very happy with my West Mountain Radio COMspkrs. Have had no problems with RFI at high power levels (1KW). Regardless of what speaker/s you use, remember not to insert a mono plug into the rear speaker jack. (;-) 73!

In general, what you want in a speaker for ham gear is very SMOOTH (flat) response in the speech range (300 Hz to 5 kHz), and fairly high voltage sensitivity (at least 90 dB at 1 meter for 2.8 volts). In general, the larger the loudspeaker, the less power it requires. Thus, small loudspeakers tend to have fairly low voltage sensitivity. Small cheap speakers also tend to have lousy frequency response -- very bumpy response curves that degrade speech intelligibility. The Radio Shack Minimus 7s have long been well thought of in the audio world. The TOA 22-ME-AV is even better, and there was a company called Triad that made some great compact loudspeakers. All of them are long discontinued, but you might find them on EBay. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
