Re: Mockingboard v1 - The Kit

    Linards,

    it's funny you mentioned that because it's sort of what I had in mind: 
as the output of the Mockingboard can drive my 2 portable 8Ohm speakers 
without pre-amps pretty well (driven by 2 LM386, one per channel, 125mW at 
8Ohm 1KHz is enough!) and I have another small internal type speaker which 
appears identical (from an old PC case I think), I thought of fitting it on 
the right hand side of my Apple to render a "stereo" type sound. Well, it's 
not as "full" as the sound of my external 3" passive speakers it is driving 
now, but it would be tidier! Just check that the small speaker you hook on 
is 8 Ohms.
