    ProMedia 2.1 wall brackets?

    in Personal Music Systems

    Posted

    I want to mount the satellites to the wall. I know it would be easy to modify the existing brackets or fabricate new brackets, but it would be easier still to get some that are ready to go.

    Does anyone have experience with brackets that can be attached to the satellites using the existing screws and also attached to the wall

    ?

    Merry Christmas

    Thanks for help adding CT125s to single driver rear horns.

    Chris-

    The very term crossover suggests a greater degree of sophistication than I'm envisioning. PWK called Heritage "crossovers" balancing networks for a reason. I'm envisioning more of a controlled overlap than a crossover. The single drivers start seriously rolling off above ~8K. I want to protect the CT125s from signal below that. The power levels involved are not high.

    While the T2A may not be needed for attenuation of the tweeter, it could be used for that. A simple capacitor would block low frequency energy from reaching the CT125. I doubt that an inductor is needed to block high frequencies from the single driver; the natural roll-off should suffice. The single drivers are efficient, but not as efficient as the CT125s, therefore, some attenuation would be needed. The T2A can substitute for an L-pad. It's not ideal, but it's here.

    In reading through the old post about the single drivers, I see where I once said that I wouldn't add tweeters or sub-woofers. Again, I'm not trying to approach audio perfection. I am curious about using parts at hand to add some high end sizzle. At most, I'll experiment with adding capacitors, resistors, inductors and trying various taps on the autoformer to see if the benefit can exceed the drawbacks while spending a minimal amount of time and/or money.

    I have a pair of DIY single driver rear horns see:

    I also have a pair of bass reflex enclosures (similar to Tekton) using the same drivers. Both enclosures sound very good with fantastic imaging, which is the strength of the single driver format. Nonetheless, they sacrifice the extreme highs and lows.

    I also have a pair of CT125s and a pair of T2A autoformers that I would like to re-purpose to add high frequency output to the single drivers.

    In fooling around crudely, it's apparent that the CT125s add the shimmer of cymbals to single drivers. The CT125s alone are too hot for the single drivers. I'm hoping to tame them slightly using the T2As.

    I'd like suggestions from those more knowledgeable that yours truly (which excludes essentially no one) about which taps to use on the T2As and/or about adding inductors and/or capacitors to the mix.

    I know there are better ways to skin this cat if starting with a blank sheet of paper, those suggestions I don't need. The whole purpose is to get the most out of what is already available with minimal additional expense. It's a hobby, not a business model.

    Kilpsch Heresey speaker not working

    The most basic test is to set the VM on the continuity setting. If touching one lead to each speaker lead doesn't show continuity (produce the same result as touching VM leads together), then your problem is probably a loose connection to the cross over. On the same setting, test each driver for continuity.

    Moray James' suggestions are the way to go. Take digital (is there still another kind?) photos of the connections before taking anything apart. As was suggested, label the leads.

    It's extremely unlikely--to the point of impossibility--that all three drivers are simultaneously kaput. Good luck.

    Finding cool Jazz nuggets on Youtube

    I share your addiction to discovering jazz gems on YouTube. Thanks for sharing.

    In fact, I lost my YouTube virginity a few years ago watching a video of a deceased jazz master (I forget who it was). That night and several since have seen hours disappear while feeding the addiction.

    The link below will make it easier for others to enjoy your find.

    EDIT: I don't know why the grey background on the text, more important, I don't care.

    Bluetooth connection to Klipsch iGroove?

    in Personal Music Systems

    Posted · Edited by DizRotus

    Does anyone have experience using a bluetooth adapater, such as CoolStream available from Amazon, to connect bluetooth android phone to Klipsch iGroove?

    The Amazon site promises:

    CoolStream Bluetooth Receiver for iPhone Dock. 30-Pin Adapter Turns iPhone/iPod docking station into a Bluetooth dock.

    Is there another way to easily play music from Android phone through Klipsch iGroove?
