DIY Biamp project

docz · 23rd November 2004, 02:27 AM

Hello, I have an old 2 way PA speaker, it's got a 12 inch woofer and a tweeter. I travel around playing piano in bars, and I've been missing a monitor when performing. All places I play have fixed audio rigs, but noone ever has any monitors. So I thought I could take this small old PA speaker and use as a monitor. To minimize the amount of equipment to carry arround I was thinking that I could convert this speaker to an active speaker. And this is why I'm writing. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I would go about doing this? What will I need? Any kits around that I can use? Anyone know of any plans for amps I could build? Anyways I would appreciate any info anyone could provide to help me with my project. Thank you

Sure. The answer's over at the "chip amp" section.

Brian GT has a couple group buy kits available to make it easy if you're interested in a home amp as well.

Get one of each. Use one channel of the 4780 for your active monitor, and the other channel for the sub of your 3875 home system.

Cheapest would be a P2P with a single 3886 chip. Lots of info and help over there.
