Tim,

are you in the main winamp window at the time when you want to change volume?

Just a thought don't you know.

Not sure of what screen reader it is that you are using, but try to make sure 
you have focus in the main Winamp window by ControlTabbing, and not sure if 
these keystrokes are just for JAWS or what, but try using the keystrokes, To 
set the volume to 0%, press ALT+CTRL+M, To set the volume to 33%, press 
ALT+CTRL+COMMA, To set the volume to  66%, press ALT+CTRL+PERIOD, To set the 
volume to 100%, press ALT+CTRL+SLASH.

Behringer Xenyx Mixers

Does anyone have a Behringer Xenyx series mixer?  I am considering 
getting the 1202FX model and am curious about its accessibility.

I have the 1002FX for more complicated things but use the little UB302 for use 
with Skype.

Accessibility is not really an issue.  The mixer is straightforward in layout 
and simple to use.  It is not  hampered by the procedures and terminology 
springing from the recording and broadcasting industries of the 1970s.

The only control which you may find odd is the FX control.  The rotary knob 
"clicks" as it moves from effect to effect and the effect is activated by 
pushing the knob in.  

Are you sure that you need the 1202FX?  Although, given the prices these days, 
It probably doesn't hurt to indulge in some future proofing.

I'm told that South Africa is the place to go these days to buy Short

I looked at the 802, but it has no effects.  It sells for $60, but the 
1202FX is worth the additional $40 to me.  I'm glad to hear it does not 
present any accessibility issues.  Thanks.

Re: harmen carden sound sticks II

[Dane Trethowan]

No, I wouldn't pay $1000 for a pair of MM1's either and I thought we had 
it bad paying $699 for the things but having said all that I think the 
$699 was worth the amount I paid for these.


I've not read the comments about hearing optimal sound sitting right in 
front of those speakers but nevertheless I take the point to a degree 
but I will say that the MM1 speaker system does a fine job at filling my 
lounge room with a rich measured sound.


If I went out of the room obviously the sound would be radically different.

If you wanted devices to give you superb rich filling room sound then 
the B Wireless systems would be worth looking at however they don't 
quite have the separation characteristics obviously as the MM1 computer 
speakers do and for obvious reasons, the MM1's are separate speakers 
whereas the wireless systems are all-in-1 systems which are designed for 
slightly different purposes.


Yes, you can detect the different channels in a B Wireless system its 
just a little bit harder and not quite as obvious unless you're really 
listening to the thing but when you see the size of these things its a 
wonder that any seperation between channels can be detected at all so 
full marks to the engineering team at B for the well designed DSP.


I mentioned that the Wireless systems give rich filling sound? Yep, that 
they do and I'll go even further.


I recently got rid of my B A5 - saving for a B A7 -, the A5 lived in 
my den but when the A5 was pumping out music at a modest volume I could 
easily hear it at the other end of the house but it was far more than 
just hearing it, the characteristics of the sound - no matter where I 
were in the house - were exactly the same, rich and powerful with easily 
distinguished speech, instruments and so on, I mentioned this to other 
colleagues because the effect is something I've not heard too often and 
the response was, "You're listening to B my friend, what else would 
you expect".

I would have to draw the line at the Bowers and wilkens ones.  I already have a 
good quality DAC so it will not be that much of an issue.

I'm not interesting so much in volume but in sound quality.  So the optimum 
would be for these speakers to deliver optimum sound while I am sitting at my 
desk less than 6 feet away.

One of the criticisms I have read in interviews about the B mm-1 is they 
sound optimum when you sit real close to them like about 6 feet away.  That is I 
think what desktop speakers should do though.

Dane finally - the strange thing is that many bowers and wilkens products are 
available over here including their wireless systems.  I can order 1 and have it 
delivered to my door within 2 or 3 days.  The problem is the mm-1 system which I 
cannot find over here in spite  of the fact that I have used google extensively.  I 
have now written to two B suppliers to find out if they can get it for me and 
at what cost.

I could find one local supplier of the mm-1 but they mainly import from Amazon. 
 And they wanted almost $1000 for it which I am not prepaired to pay.

So the search continues

André

Only my observations for what they're worth.

I Had a pair and I wasn't too impressed to be honest, they're okay but nothing 
earth shattering.

I suppose that's because I set a high bar when it comes to my music listening 
as I want to enjoy it.

If you can wait a little longer and save a little more then perhaps you might look 
at some computer Desktop speakers that will really knock your socks off and show 
your ears the true quality of your music and there are quite some incredible pairs 
to choose from such as those from Keff - can't remember the model number now - and 
of coruse the B M1's which are still available.

Both these sets have their own Sound Cards in them if you like to think of it 
that way so they just plug into the power and your computers USb port ready for 
Windows to find them, they do have Aux-In for older systems or for other 
devices.

Both the sets from Kef and B are strictly 2 channel units though one could be 
forgiven for thinking that you have a 30 inch sub-wooffer connected to your 
computer.

Hi all

I'm in the market for a good quality set of desktop speakers This is strictly 
for listening to music - definitely not a surround sound  system!

One of the systems I am looking at is the Harmen Carden Soundsticks III.  Does 
anyone have this system and what are your thoughts?  I realize that something 
like sound quality is a personal opinion but I am curious to hear what people 
say.  I'm interesting in a set that will give you what would be considered 
audiofile sound.
