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.<\/p>\n

And I’ve been thinking there’s this super-snazzy mixer I’d like. It’s this<\/a>, in the 1608 model specifically.<\/p>\n

Now, I can use that with external amplifiers. I don’t have<\/em> 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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And that’s when I discovered “class T” amplifiers, which are fairly new, and are single-board units like this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TK2050<\/center><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Does anybody know anything about these personally? Because I’m pretty intrigued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
