[slim] Re: System for mounting a SB3 on a wall?
This amp is going to live in the attic so I won't have access to volume or tone controls. I will just have to find a good level to set the volume at so that I have enough dynamic range for all three squeezeboxes using the internal volume.

[slim] Re: System for mounting a SB3 on a wall?
Hi, I'm very impressed by your bathroom sb3 installation and it's persuaded me to put ceiling speakers in all rooms upstairs. I bought a last year's model a/v amplifier which basically gives me a six channel power amplifier to run three squeezeboxes from (six analogue inputs going to six speaker outputs). There's a myriad of ceiling speakers about though and I have trouble deciding which ones to go for. Is there a particular reason you went for the visaton one? You mentioned you didn't have any experience with ceiling speakers, by what made you decide to buy Visaton? regards, Koen. -- koen koen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17420 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: System for mounting a SB3 on a wall?
As Mark described I'm going to use the analogue inputs of the receiver rather than any of the digital inputs. I had in fact overlooked that I can't use the sub input on the 5.1 analogue inputs. but as I was planning on one room doing mono anyway that doesn't really matter. On that note, what is a cheap solution to mix the left and right signal of a squeezebox into a mono signal? I had originally thought of wiring both outputs together but our electronics engineer at work questioned my sanity (you can't short outputs end of story).

[slim] Re: music held on multiple HD
the links for libraries are the same as the ones for directories. a symbolic link is obtained by invoking 'ln -s ...'. A dynamic library could be called 'libxyz.so' for instance, but it would be a symbolic link to libxyz.so.1.4 which is the actual library. When a newer version of the library is installed (libxyz.so.1.5 for instance) the symbolic link gets moved to the newer library. That way the old library is still available and a simple change of link can undo an upgrade. This is much better than actually replacing the old library with the new one and then finding out the new one is buggy. Now for symbolic linking of directories it could go as follows: music folder = /music disk 1 is mounted on /mnt/disk1 disk 2 is mounted on /mnt/disk2 then it's just a question of linking both to a directory in /music ln -s /mnt/disk1 /music/disk1 ln -s /mnt/disk2 /music/disk2 if you then do an 'ls -l' in /music you will see disk1 - /mnt/disk1 disk2 - /mnt/disk2 confirming your newly created links Hope this helps, Koen. -- koen koen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18505 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
