Product Request: Volume Knob
WLVRYN:
Lew, I'm sure this isnt exactly what you are looking for, but I mounted the PCB that I took out of my computer speakers in the speaker panel above my screen. I drilled a hole in the panel, allowing the volume knob on the PCB to drop through. I could then adjust the volume very easily since the knob was right above my head. I read the Oscar Controls website awhile back and that's where I got the idea from.

It doesn't really help you solve the problem, but an idea I had that you may want to incorporate if you build your own volume setup is to add a switched headphone jack in the line. I am running powered PC speakers for my audio and I am considering adding an external volume control and headphone output that when in use cuts sound to the speakers. I do la ot of my playing/tinkering late and my wife is a light sleeper.

I am looking for a volume knob solution for my 48-in-1. I suppose I could use the mini-jack and powered speakers, but I already have the JAMMA wire hooked to the single speaker in my Nintendo cabinet (I only need mono). Anyone know what kind of wattage the 48-in-1 sends to the speaker? I guess the solution would be to find an audio pot that would accept that volume, max out the 48-in-1 and then use the pot to adjust volume...but I just need to know what kind of wattage it sends to the jamma speaker wire.

Grab a cheap set of 2.1 computer speakers that have the volume control on a cable instead of integrated into the satellites. There will be plenty of cable to let the volume control be mounted on the outside of the cab.
If you already have speakers in your cab just wire them into the sub instead of using the speakers supplied with the unit. Impedance might not be matched, but for this application who cares.
I've done this with 2 different sets of speakers and it works great - cheapo sub provides some bass and an amplified output for the cab speakers.
I think I paid $24.00 for the last set I bought - Logitech's from Walmart.

If you are somewhat handy with electronics you could build this:

It is a digital solution and requires two switches, one for up and one for down.
The cheapest solution Lew would be to take your existing volume control that is on your speakers and remote mount it by extending the wires.
