​@@kiwiworkshopmaybe you could save time by stacking the two pieces of wood for the grills and then drilling the holes.

Ive been pondering on the charging mechanism of a soundbar i want to make, and this video is my final destination on how to wire it so it charges alright! awesome woodworking skills as well. many thanks!

The result looks really high-quality and like a designer piece.

An amazing build, thanks for the video. Makes me wish I had but an ounce of woodworking skill to my name!

Kiaora from an ex-pat in Oz. Good to see a Kiwi here, great work on the speaker! I’d better go watch the rest of your vids, keep them coming, and don’t be shy to voiceover them too.

Kia ora, and thanks! Good to hear from another ex-pat, I've heard from a few in the comments on this channel and other social media. I did try with voice over videos but it was my "no talking" videos that have been much more successful and received positive comments about the video format. So figured I would keep going with that format, since they seemed to be better received by a general audience.

Thanks! Glad you like it. You can kerf bend wood at any thickness, the main consideration is how deep the slots are cut. In this build, there was about 1.5mm material left below each slot which worked out ok.

Thank you for your comment. My original plan was to mount the power bank, but since the USB cable was quite rigid it held the power bank in place. But I do agree, securing the power bank would be a good upgrade!

10:19 What was the point of the blue terminal block? Wouldn't it have been just as easy to solder the switch wires to the perfboard?

@kiwiworkshop

Жыл бұрын

It means the perfboard can easily be removed from the back panel and flipped over for servicing if required. Or to be replaced by another circuit if ever required. Also, I intentionally made all of the electronics modular in case I ever wanted to upgrade to higher power audio. But yes, if you were keeping costs to a minimum, you could solder the power switch wires directly into the perfboard.

Thank you 🙂 It's Beech which has been thermally modified (steam treated) to bring out the dark color. It's a cheaper alternative to using more expensive dark wood such as Walnut.

very nice look and build! but does it sound, compared to, for example, jbl flip?

@kiwiworkshop

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I can only compare to a UE Boom 3, and to my ear, this speaker sounds better. I'm no audiophile, but I would describe the sound as richer and warmer. More than enough volume too. It would also be easy to upgrade to more expensive electronics and speakers. I kept the electronics basic to make it easy for anyone without electronics experience to complete the build.

The bass is OK, actually quite good for cost effective electronics and speakers. At some stage I will upgrade the electronics and try to add more bass then. But for now I'm happy with the sound quality and use the speaker almost daily. Thanks for your comment!

No ground loop noise?

Correct - no ground loop noise. All conductors are of suitable size and there is only one power source.

9:16 How did you decide on 82 ohms? Was that just trial and error?

@kiwiworkshop

Жыл бұрын

It was trial and error but I got reasonably close on the first attempt. I tried 120 ohms to start with which didn't work, then tried 82 ohms which did work. 100 ohms didn't work either so settled on 82 ohms. I suspect 82 ohms will work with most USB power banks. The additional current draw isn't an issue since the power bank has such a high capacity at 10000mAh. Another option would be to replace the resistor with a small circuit to drive a power LED mounted on the back panel. The current draw would still need to be about 60mA however to match the current draw of the 82 ohm resistor, i.e. I = V/R = 5/82 = 61mA.

How much u have invested for this

Not much at all really, about $40 for the electronics and I had the wood already. Lets say $10 for the wood.
