Re: Speaker level adjustment

Chris J Dixon · 2014-01-27T16:41:59+00:00

I boxed up an L-pad and installed it a while ago, but it doesn't really seem to have sufficient adjustment. I am now wondering about a completely different approach. I could have totally separate control using something like Fed from the phono socket tape output of my main amplifier. I understand that quality may not be great, and I would always have two volume controls to adjust, but these are tiny ceiling speakers, so it will probably be fine. Any better ideas? Chris

I don't think I've ever heard an infinite baffle speaker with remotely good bass. Ceiling speakers are typically cheapskate 1 way affairs, plasterboard isnt too rigid either.

Neither is the average plywood most speakers are made from.

I have TLC 8" ceiling speakers in my bathroom. The bottom end on those is pretty good - way better than similarly priced box speakers.

They are driven by their own amp and equaliser.

An infinite baffle can give extremely good bass if the drive unit is designed for it. After all, it's what many boxes attempt to replicate.
