toying with an idea
I've got all these "passive" speakers that are part of my PA kit. "Passive" means they are speakers without built-in amplifiers. That was the norm for a very long time, but isn't so much now.
And I've been thinking there's this super-snazzy mixer I'd like. It's this, in the 1608 model specifically.
Now, I can use that with external amplifiers. I don't have to do anything clever. But it'd be nice not to have to haul around as many pieces and leave the amp at home, right?
So I started looking around at amplifier boards I could build myself, with the idea of making my non-powered "passive" speakers into powered "active" speakers, with built-in amps.
And that's when I discovered "class T" amplifiers, which are fairly new, and are single-board units like this one.
And it's like $23, which is crazy. But they're all priced like that. All the Class T amps are dirt cheap, but commentary on gear boards is actually pretty good, particularly for these 2050-based units.
Does anybody know anything about these personally? Because I'm pretty intrigued.
