Hi all,
I’ve finally managed to test my mini rig today! Results aren’t all that great, and I’m sure I’m being stupid somewhere and would really appreciate some help 🤦🏼♂.
The set up I had was a laptop> 3 ring aux> aux to 1/4 inch adaptor into amp> diy speakon cable to speaker
I tried 2 amps-
Crown CE1000 and Berry inuke6000dsp, nothing from the crown, barely audible at max volume from the inuke. Tapping the cable gave much higher volume, more what id expect.
Is it a line level issue? Do I need a pre amp? I’ll be buying an ultradrive to plug the laptop into in due course, but am at a loss as to why it was so quiet.
My other thought was I made crappy 0.19mm2 speakon cables just to test with, maybe it can’t carry enough power but I really doubt it’s causing that bottle neck.
Thanks in advance!
