[Frameworks] 16mm sound projector speakers

[todd eacrett]

Some Eikis have a 3 segment (tip/ring/ground) 1/4" phone jack where 
tip/ground gives speaker output and another combination (tip/ring or 
ring/ground...) is supposed to give you a line output. I have been able 
to get a line level output this way by soldering a custom cable, but it 
was always weak and trebly. Speaker out to DI box via 1/4" cable, then 
XLR cable to mixer, as several people have suggested, always seems to 
sound better. 

If you are running through a mixer, start with the projector volume 
about halfway and the bass/treble flat (12 o'clock on the Eiki). Adjust 
the mixer channel input fader and/or the DI and/or the projector volume 
to get a strong, but not clipping, signal at the mixer preamps. I 
usually park the bass and treble on the projector at about 10 and 2 to 
roll off a bit of rumble and bump the highs, then ride the mixer EQ, 
which has a lot more range. 

Loudly,

       Hey guys - I have 2 eiki ssl, and 2 bell and howell filmo sound 
projectors, none of which came with speakers. I'm trying to project 
films with sound on them relatively soon and was wondering if anyone 
knew what the deal with that is. What kind of jack is it? I've been 
googling and yielding no helpful results. Anyone know where to buy just 
projector speakers? Or is there an adaptor for the jack so I can go 
through an amp?
  thanks!
mariah.
