RE: [misterhouse-users] speakers

[Thomas H. <tha...@so...>]

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of maybe a couple of PC speaker sets
with a splitter and extention cord, this way I have separate volume for
each set (right on the speakers) and the ability to shut off sets I dont
want on for whatever reason.

amp (receiver) with 4 50W 8 ohm speakers in series across each channel.
For an odd number of speakers use a 20W 8 Ohm Non Inductive Resistor, Radio
Shack P/N 271-120, $1.49, for load balancing.  For moderate sound levels it
works just fine.

Presently, I don't have the MH PA program running.   I need an external
terminal program to command the Weeder  DIO to activate the 8 SPDT relay
card.
