Hi guys, I am reasonably new to audio electronics, and after some advice of how to set up a sound system the way I want.
The source will be a computer or ipod output.
I want electronic volume control of the sound, most likely feed from a computer -> D/A converter. I believe this is done through a VCA, correct? Can anyone suggest a good circuit for this?
I then need to feed it into a power amp, the room is about 4m * 4m, and doesnt have to be extremely loud, but that is always fun!
I am thinking about 60W. Would this be powerful enough?/ too powerful for the effort involved? Again, can anyone suggest a circuit? (I have looked on forums, but don't completely understand what is being said, so a bit unsure!)
Is there any other things I need? (Do I need a pre amp if feed is from an ipod?)
Thanks heaps, suggestions on anything would be much appreciated!

Hi,
A VCA is so old school analogue ...... and very difficult to do accurately.
2 x something like http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM1971.html
or 1 x http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM1972.pdf
