Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on
The Radio doesn't have the same kind of support for it as the Boom does. It won't split the signal internally. But you can do 'a trick' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80484) and activate headphone out while at the same time playing through the speaker. With some careful adjustment of the cutoff frequency and volume level on the subwoofer, I guess you could achieve what you're after. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- duet + boom + radio (+touch on the way) / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7/avira free Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67421 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on
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?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on
I am not sure if the Boom is replaced by the Radio, but it easily could if there would be a modular system. They started a bit that way because the battery is sold separately. What would be the problem if such companion speaker would exist? I think of putting the radio at my desktop for basic stereo listening. I am sure that you will get a better stereo experience with speakers 1.4 meter apart from each other than with the Boom. And when I want it portable, I just take the radio to the garden and listen there in mono. These are only general thoughts not to put down the Radio as is, but for future enhancements or products. It doesn't hurt anyone to give ideas. I remember people complained about the Boom too for the lack of battery operation. And you see the radio has a battery. And a normal volume knob. Only for the volume knob I would like the radio :-) And yes, a subwoofer might be overkill. But why not if it's optional? -- Bert0123 Bert0123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67421 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Also the Boom has no internal power supply. If "Proper" Stereo is what one is looking for, then Radio with a companion speaker is far from the solution. If the Boom isn't good enough, then use a Receiver and a good pair of self-powered speakers. Costs about the same as two Radios and probably better sound and stereo. And if its the portable thing, how portable are two Radios? I would rather carry my Boom with my DeWalt battery when it just has to be away from electricity but in range of my WiFi. And if this about an add-on speaker that would run off the Radio while portable, how long does anybody think the Radio battery is going to last drive twice as much speaker? Radio is what it is. A mono go anywhere one has WiFi Squeezebox. It is not an all-in-one or perfect solution. Radio is great for the night stand, bathroom, kitchen, spare room, or on the table on the deck by the chairs. By the time all the "requests" or add-on come into play, its just not Squeezebox Radio anymore and there are already better Squeezebox products to pick from in most cases anyway. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67421 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Why an extra companion speaker? Just two synced Radio's, one set to play left, the other right.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stereo speaker add-on
Thanks Caleb. I guess leaving out the Sub-Out option simplified the needed the number of options needed anyway. Running external speakers would likely be most commonly done w/o wanting to run the internal speakers at the same time. It is nice to know the simple headphone out does provide a bit of flexibility in the setup, reuse and upgrade departments. -- fuzzyT fuzzyT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67421 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
