My little stereo

[210]

Here's my little stereo (see attached picture🙂.
It's a TRANSONIC DS-3016 active fullranger.
Features:
1) Folded mini-transmissionlines (with outputs at the upper corners),
even sealed with a rubber band between the two chassis halfs.
2) Produces audible sound from 100Hz.
3) Great midrange (alu cones with rubber foams).
4) 2*1W Class A/B amplifier
5) Works with 4 AA batteries/accus(not just with three!).
6) Bass rgulator (distorts above 1h(pm)).
7) Switchable 3D-Sound/Reverbation (bathroom-sound,
typically this sounds the better the older the recordings are).
8) Sounds much fuller when used in a room edge/corner/shelf.
9) Bought it for just 10 Euros (new, incl. postage).
10) Imho a masterpiece of british engeineering, really.

The only mods I made were using a big Tantal cap to ensure
sound quality even with almost empty batteries/accus
and increasing the resistor before the power LED by a factor of 10
(don't need a laser strong light out of it).

too late...

I tried to find out the exact size of the unit to give it some sense of scale, but could not find a darn thing.

Can you take a photo of it in your hand or along a ruler? Maybe toss a few coins in?

17x2.5x10cm (Width x Depth x High).
Divide it by 2.5 and you'll have inches.

Maybe it hasn't alu cones but just coloured plastic.
It also has an external psu port (5V in), and a
3.5mm stereo in. The "TMLs" will probably work
as bassreflex, but they look like mini-tml.

For all of us that have spent years of time learning about circuits and speakers and interconnects this is indeed a sad day.

For $10 all of it goes down the drain.

OTOH - wife will be happy when I sell off all of my gear and give her da $$$$.

Yeah - like that's gonna happen!
