[Elecraft] Speakers and other Bright Ideas… Maybe not so Bright...
Re Speakers and the KX3 and the KX1… Has anyone considered the speaks used in the iPad, iPhone, iPad Mini and the iTouch? The iPad speaker sounds darn good! I am about to pop the top on an older iTouch that has a built in speaker… Its sound is so so but maybe it would work for the KX1… Ideas…. Bueller ??? Anyone??

Re: [Elecraft] Speakers and other Bright Ideas… Maybe not so Bright...
Interesting ideaI did that in a speaker mic that I used on an HT using a speaker element from a dead blackberry. it sounded much better than the original.My only worry is the original speaker used and its magnetic shielding may be important.If I replaced it would I be creating potential problems if I cant shield the magnet properly. (i dont have either KX1 or KX3 but often thought a better speaker driver in the K3 would be nice but dont want to take the chance of adding a problem) On 12/10/2012 1:17 PM, Phil Townsend Lontz wrote: Re Speakers and the KX3 and the KX1… Has anyone considered the speaks used in the iPad, iPhone, iPad Mini and the iTouch?

Re: [Elecraft] Speakers and other Bright Ideas… Maybe not so Bright...
This is true in many cases. however in many small devices like phones and such put decent modern drivers in that will sound pretty good without all the electronic wizardry that the device uses to make it even better my speaker mic was proof of that.Its amazing how the fine points of speaker driver have changed in the miniature world of today yet the basic principle is still the same as the good old Rice Kellogg design of 1924. Where the speaker, its driving electronics and the enclosure are all in one package, there's great scope to compensate for all the short-comings of the arrangement with sophisticated (software) filters which you will not get when you salvage just the speaker which is not in itself optimised for clarity - it's the whole ensemble.
