I wish to improve the audio quality of my TV. There is a stereo socket for a headphone - can I use this for an external loudspeaker, or not? If not, what can I do?
Discussion is locked
The externals need an amplifier as what comes out the jack is under 1 Watt. Not enough to drive speakers.
I have a König system set of external loudspeakers: Type: CMP-SPSW 100, with a stereo headphone jack, and necessitating 220V. Would this work?
Also, the "stereo headphone jack" usually indicates an output. What input does the CMP take?
The stereo headphone jack on the rear of the TV does not mention an output. The input of the CMP is not given, but the output of the RMS is 4w.
A headphone jack on a TV so far implies and has always worked out to be an output. I guess folk need more words but to put all the words directly by the jack doesn't look possible.
As to the CMP, if it has a jack marked Headphone, that's no input to the CMP.
looks like a standard 3.5 mm stereo cable
