With reassurances from Logitech support that it would not harm my SB3 (though they warned it might damage my other gear), I've used an RCA "Y" adapter to merge my L and R analog outs to one mono RCA output. This feeds a normal mini-stereo, but with only one speaker attached to the amp output.
If you want to be more cautious, common opinion (not commented on by Logitech support, nor any of the Slim/Logitech employees who frequent these forums, unfortunately) seems to be that a stereo-to-mono cable ought to include some resistors, too (the $5 Chinese-made Radio Shack adapter I use is a "straight" cable, no resistors**). http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33899 I had considered opening a firmware feature enhancement ticket -- since the decoding is done in software (SlimDSP), the SB3 should be able to output identical summed mono on both the L and R outputs pretty easily. But I wasn't sure how widespread this desire was -- how many of us have single-speaker, Tivoli-like installations because sometimes they make more sense. -Peter ** after my "how to build" post, I bought a new adapter. Unlike my old one, this new adapter tests as a straight 0-ohm wire. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34613 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
