Nice idea. This is a nice way to recyle your old (HIFI)speakers.

Why? It's just a low-cost power amp. It's not any better than any decent vintage transistor amp. Except that it doesn't have an input selector, not even an accessible volume control - so the user still needs some sort of control preamp.

@@DrCassette Aye aye, Sir! And all I saw was, well, described above. Seriously, the only thing that could justify the surgery would be a room-response-correcting DSP - but so far it's in a different price bracket. Without it, it's just DIY for the sake of it.

Could connect a chromecast audio to the aux in port

Nice review, great sound, and an achievable project. However, having purchased a number of items that rely on external apps that have subsequently been discontinued and been left with expensive bricked units, so this is not for me. If there was a comparable unit with screen and software onboard I would purchase one to revive my old speakers. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I was going to make a similar comment but if you look at the end of the video at around 22:00 the system does support a standalone mode via bluetooth. I would still argue it would be nice to have a screen and some controls to be able to use the wifi system without an app since we know those might get killed or its cloud services discontinued in the future. Great video DrC!

Muito interessante 👏👏👏

I like the inclusion of a subwoofer output. Presumably the volume of that changes with the speakers?

Yes, it would make sense if it did. I have not tested that though.

Nice system. I just bought a set of active speakers for my TV from Argon (Hifi Klubben) and I'm impressed with them. I have a set of old Creative T20s lying around which of course already have an amp but I want to built in a bluetooth receiver module in that. I hope you can do something like that on the channel too.

Yes, adding a bluetooth receiver module to some existing product is a project I am hoping to do at some point.

That's great! An excellent device. I make those with cheap chinese devices. And maybe is time to get the next level. Greetings

Sir,I have one Sony MHC RV6 music system.but when we switch on it appears (push power protect) IC is STK442-130 which is not available in INDIAN market,so my speaker set is idle now a days. should I fix this unit for that speaker. Speaker model no ss RV900 THANKS

I might experiment with the AUX input and what functions are available for that.

Did you find the amplifier has built in bass and treble lift? So many powered speakers these days have this dreadful sound EQ that you cannot removed, like Edifier.

There is an EQ available in the app interface, which was set to flat in this video.

I assume that 5w resistor doesn’t actually get hot.

I did not test that. The plate amp does seem to produce a bit of heat, the plate gets warm after some time of running the amp.

1.5x playback speed yields much better mainstream-style KZread cadence. Would recommend.

I watch most KZread videos at 1.5x playback speed, my own videos I watch at 2x playback speed. There is nothing wrong with saving some time ;)
