SP3 Speakers

Now, I probably had my hands on this info back when the SP3 was announced but I lost track and I can’t remember details like I am asking here.

The order page separately lists the SP3 external speaker and the Second SP3 external speaker but listed with the same price of $179.95. The first entry on the order page says “(main/sub audio)” and the second SP3 entry says “(for stereo FX, separate main/sub audio)”.

What is not clear to me is whether these two speakers are IDENTICAL or DIFFERENT in some way. The photos linked with the Order page only show the face of one speaker, not the back. I think I remember seeing a more detailed data sheet on the SP3 that might have shown the back connections and that might have given hints whether these two speakers are the same are not.

Pointing me to the data sheet with answers is good enough.

73, phil, K7PEH

Re: SP3 Speakers

Maybe the 2nd speaker has a left-handed magnet? ;-)

Also the rather flowery description of the SP3 has disappeared from the
website. It's not even listed on the products page.

Both speakers are the same.
Using stereo cables, you can connect to the K3 (K3S) rear panel speaker
jack for one channel, and connect the 2nd speaker to the first one for
the other channel. The SP3 speakers can support two radios, that is
what the A/B switch on the front is for.
