What's the purpose of such a build?

The other day I walked into a listening bar that had speakers that look like this.

I have never seen such a build. Does anyone here know why would one build a speaker like this?
It basically has 2 drivers facing inwards to a plywood box. The front is covered with a complex 3d printed structure that has 3 holes. One in the middle, and 2 symmetrical holes close to the middle. I assume the purple structure act as a the mids and the holes as the twitter? I could not see the back of it.

What are the advantages/properties that one might be looking for?

Looking for outdoor bluetooth speaker recommendations!

1 Upvotes

Hello, am looking for outdoor speaker recommendations. These need to be wireless so I can connect to a TV (and phone if its easy but not a must) I have plenty of power outlets in my back porch. Budget around $150ish for 2? These are outdoor speakers so i don't need the greatest sound, just need them to be reliable. Thanks!!

Messed up my audio jack and now audio sounds super far away and my mic is barely heard, but when I switch jack cords on my headphones it only picks up audio(very well) but mic doesn't work

1 Upvotes

Ok so I have headphones with a built in mic and after years of abuse the cord connecting the headphones to the computer started messing up, but when I bought a new cord, the audio works fine yet the mic isn't even detected. Yes, the new cord I got is one for headphones/mic not just headphones. The mic works fine when I plug it into the back jack on the motherboard but there's no jack I can find on the back that picks up both headphone/mic inputs. Any way to remedy this or will I have to just buy a new case?

Can I use a normal usb extender for my DAC?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for an extension USB-C cable for my DAC as when I am working it constantly disconnects from my phone when I move around too much especially when I need to kneel down and I think having a cable with some leeway to move around will help. Looking into it and im not sure if I need a certain kind of 'OTG' cable or will any cable do? The cheapest OTG one I can find is about 4x the price of a simple UGreen cable off Amazon. Any recommends and advice is appreciated, thankyou!

Behringer PK110A input question

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have two Behringer PK110A speakers and a Yamaha MG10X mixer. Currently, I'm using RCA cables (3 meters), but I need to extend the distance to at least 5 meters, so I want to switch to balanced XLR to avoid interference.

The manual states the following:

"MIC combo jack accepts audio signals from
devices using cables using XLR, balanced ¼"
TRS or unbalanced ¼" TS connectors."

"For devices connected to the MIC combo
jack, play your analog audio source or speak
into your microphone at a normal-to-loud level
while adjusting the LEVEL knob. If the sound
distorts, lower the LEVEL knob until the sound
cleans up."

My question is: can I connect an XLR cable from the mixer's output into the speaker's MIC combo input (controlling the gain carefully), or is that XLR input strictly for microphones?

Could someone help clear this up for me? Thanks!

Ive got a rockville mixer that was working perfectly fine for months hooked up to my PC. Then one day it decided the only sound it was gonna make was one deep loud hum and no matter what I do I cant seem to fix it. Does it with both speakers and I cant adjust the volume its just permanently loud as hell.

Rockville rpg2x15, probably 5 years old.

How to apply loudness Equalizer to audio

0 Upvotes

I used loudness Equalizer but this feature only make it sound like that in laptop, how to actually save that same audio with -db so it sound as clear in a mobile device,since we won't be able to apply loudness Equalizer in other devices....or does anyone one of you know more good Equalizer which makes speeches crystal clear without distorting it while reducing background noises
