Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using radio headphone socket and speaker

2010-09-26 Thread MartinG

Hi;

I've been using my radio with an added sub connected through the
headphone-jack for a few weeks.  I've also installed Erland's "Custom
alarm window", and each morning (after I've finished multi-snoozing) I
select alarm off with the big knob so I can see my main screen with big
clock and weather forecast etc, but I immediately turn the music back
on.  Once I do this the speakers default back to just the
headphone-jack, and I have to go into the headphones switch menu, and
switch back to "both on" again.

Anyone else having problems with the sound defaulting back?  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Soulkeeper;

I will try some tweaking, but the sound quality is noticeably reduced
in the SBR's internal speaker, not the sub itself.  

So for example; if I turn the Sub fully-off, but have it plugged into
the headphone-jack, and select, "Both on", in the "Headphone switch"
app, the sound quality of the music coming only out of the SBR's
internal speaker, is low quality.  If I then pull the Sub-jack out of
the SBR, the sound automatically improves, this is an improvement only
in the SBR's internal speaker.

Can tweaking the Sub's Phase (0 or 180), Low Pass (80-160Hz), or
Volume, effect the quality of the SBR's internal speaker?

Thanks

Hi all,

I just enabled the bluegaspode/abdndamo HeadphonesApplet, and it
appears to be working properly.  I loaded the app so I could connect a
powered sub in combination with the SBR's internal speaker and I
noticed right away a reduction in the quality of the internal speaker. 


If I play a song and unplug the headphone-sub, the radio's internal
speaker immediately reverts back, and sounds great again.

Have you guys also found this to be the case?
Kinda nulls the purpose if you get a reduced sound quality.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on

Thanks I will try the "trick"

Do you know if you're able to switch the headphone-jack (side of SBR)
and line-in jack (back of SBR)?  I would prefer to not have a cable
permanently sticking out of the side of the SB Radio.  

Thanks,

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on

2010-09-12 Thread MartinG

I've got (2) radios (night stand and kitchen), and maybe I should have
bought Booms instead, but I do find the Radio weak on low Hz, as
expected for its size.  I would like to add a powered subwoofer, like
you can with the Boom's Headphones/Sub-out jack.  Is this possible,
while continuing to use the radio's internal speaker?

Thanks,
Marty
