Hi there,


I have a 2.1 speaker setup that doesn't have volume control.

I believe it used to be connected to a cd/radio unit, that had the volume control on it. I can't find any model number on it, I did find a manufacturing date (Feb-2nd-2002) and a serial number. I tried a partial serial number search to hopefully identify the model, but had no luck.

Here's a photo of the back. The speakers are just tiny little satellites.

What I want to do is wire up a volume knob...something like this

Code:

(to amp/sub)

What are you connecting to it? Can't you just use the volume control of the source you are plugging in or does it not have volume control either?

It's plugged into an airport express, in the kitchen.

I want the volume to be independent from the living room, hence the need for it's own volume control.


Also, I think I found the setup on the cambridge soundworks site, it may be a new model, but it definitely looks identical.

I had a look at the "what's in the box" section, and there's a Volume Control with 12ft Audio Connecting Cable and Stereo Mini-Plugs

I'm gonna see how much it costs to buy one...my guess is it won't be cheap, so screw em if that's the case, although, I might be able to snag one cheap/free ...my girlfriend is somehow related to someone high up in the company

I just can't be stuffed pulling strings for something so mundane...and maybe it's the booze, but I am getting more keen to do this DIY styles!


Also, I had a look on ebay and found a lot of volume adjusters, but they also have microphones built in as they are originally intended for mobile phones....I think I might prefer to build one than buy that

Cheers,


Pat.
