Hello,
I am attaching a set of computer speakers to a 20 foot lead from a television set, that come off of a set of line level RCA jacks at the television. These speakers will enable a person near the speakers to have a local set of speakers that they can adjust independantly from the main television volume.
In the effort to build a volume control near the auxillary speakers, while I realize that I could use a unity gain op amp to control the line level volume, this would require building a circuit and piping in voltage.
What I want to know is if I could just use a potentiometer on the line level connection to control the volume. In other words, would placing a 100k Ohm resister in series with the line level connection be enough to significanly reduce the volume?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jon
