oplin Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 i have a pair of magnavox s-8766 floor standing speakers, and it has this min/max knob on the back of it. I was wondering what the knob is for, i don't really notice any change from it. The speakers are from 1972 or so and i can't find a manual or anything on them, they were my dads but he doesn't know anything about them. Also i'm only using them for 20-80hertz, so i only use the 15" sub in them. If anybody knows what the knob does for these that would be great i'm sure it's on other speakers also. They're air suspension speakers also what does that mean? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I don't know what it does for those speakers but I've had speakers with adjustment knobs for highs/mids. If you're only using them for the woofer you wouldn't notice a change. No markings next to the knob other than min/max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that means they run two woofers - one has no magnet - it's referred to as a passive radiator - just bounces in response to the active woofer's hit. Phillips has started using this old-school tech in their shelf systems - they call it "w00x" - their version is a thick plastic "driver".

InnovaZero Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Well my 2 1975 Pioneer CS-R700's have min-max knobs. However the two knobs are for highs and mids. So i'm guessing that it yours is similar in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oplin Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Below the knob it says 15" horn tweeter. So i'm guessing it's for the lows, but it doesn't sound any different when all i play throw them are lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a $100 boombox with a pissive radiator that moves a full 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
