Benedini Mini and volume up/down via transmitter

Post by Steen Vøler »

hi

is anyone using the TBS mini build-in volume adjuster to have volume controlled by the transmitter. Just realized that this is a built-in possibility with the Benedini Mini
cheers

Most people seem to run their sound systems at full volume anyway :roll:

I developed a couple of other solutions, so that the volume could be adjusted using the rotary control on a Spektrum transmitter, but I never really used it when at shows, so stripped it out again.

Hi Steen,

I don't use a Benedini sound module, but I am glad having a stepless loudness control via its own transmitter channel pot with my Beier modules. Imho it is rather necessary because all sound modules need a seperate power amplifier with at least 2 x 60 watts (normally 2 x 120 watts) to have an adequate tank sound 'in the fields'. This loudness however has to be dropped down when using the model in closed rooms like halls or when testing it at home.

I know you are also driving your tank outdoors. Therefore it may be a marked benefit for you using a loudness control AND an adequate power amplifier with your TBS mini :)
kind regards
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard

you know me to well :-) Outdoor driving is the best :-)

I have the Benedini 2x60w amplifier installed so I wil ltry to get the transmitter volume adjust up running before Hausen am Bach meeting in july.

I guess I just set the max wanted volumen on the amplifier as I want and the control the up/down via the rotary knob position 11 for up and position 12 for down.
cheers
