After DemiCon I decided I had to get my sound system working because nobody could hear R2 with the cheap test speakers I had. I've been looking for some time for an amplifier and speaker combo that would work in R2-NU. I ran across a post by Paul Bussiere describing some new sound equipment; and after doing research I bought what I needed from Parts-Express.com. There are several posts on Astromech.net talking about how the VMusic2 system has a hard time dealing with feedback and noise, so I purchased a PAC SNI1 Noise Isolator. I did not hook it up because I didn't have the right connectors, so I used my phone for testing rather than R2-NU's electronics.
Pioneer TS-A878 3-1/2" Dash Mount Coaxial Speaker Pair (#267-276) with XTC 3" Round Foam Baffle Pair (#260-780)
The amplifier does not have a potentiometer so I purchased a PAC LC1 Remote Amplifier Level Controller to handle the volume control.

So how do you like it?
ReplyDeleteIt is working very, very well for me on my R2. Plus a HUGE power savings since I was using a car amplifier (300 watt) in there!
I like it. It is working well for me. Thank you for posing what you're using.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. What do you think, if I would republished some of these articles in our news sections or on the site? It’s mainly a site for electronics and Surround sound systems , but I think a lot of them simply love every part of the world and would enjoy reading your blog. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
