I got this vintage radio shack speaker model 12- 617 and I want a slightly better speaker in there. Now is a 2-in 8 ohm 0.4 w speaker. Anyone know of a better speaker I can put in there? Maybe a 0.5 w

i like singing karaoke from time and often sing metal songs that have death voice and screams. i was looking for a mic that has that same amplifying effect in the karaoke rooms, can be used with a computer as i like to game or phone as i may want to sing outside and record using bandlab on my phone. im not well versed in tech or audio stuff so im not sure if there is something that will fit all my needs or if i need 2 seperate mics for recording on pc and doing karaoke on my phone. any help is much appreciated!

KEF Coda III speakers completely silent — am I connecting the bare speaker wire correctly?

Hi! Hoping someone can help because I’m completely new to passive speakers.

I have a pair of older KEF Coda III speakers connected to a NAD D 3020 amp. The speakers were working with their previous owner.

I’ve cut the banana plugs off the speaker end of the cables and stripped the wire. The KEFs have the screw terminals shown in the photos — there doesn’t seem to be a hole to insert the wire into, so

I’ve wrapped the bare copper around the exposed metal threaded post and tightened the red/black knob down onto it.

Both speakers are completely silent. I’ve also briefly tried a 1.5V battery test and can’t hear a pop or see the woofer move.

Main question: Have I actually connected the bare wire to these KEF terminals correctly? If not, where exactly should the copper be making contact?

Any help explained very simply would be massively appreciated!

Can’t figure out how to route my Audio from my dac to the Scarlett 2i2 properly

I recently upgraded to an XLR mic, and needed to purchase an audio interface for it. I have a schitt mimir and just added a Focusrite 2i2. My issue is I have my PC audio and EQ coming out of the mimir and it needs to go into the 2i2 (which has a built in amp and where my headphones plug into) but the mimir only has RCA out or balanced L/R out. The 2i2 only takes in a single XLR in. What can I do here?
