- Does such a beast exist commerically?
-
- I made one some time ago using IR diodes just as a hobby experiment.
-
- Here's what I'm trying to do: (At least in theory...)
-
- I designed a large (read huge) subwoofer system for use in movie
- theaters or really insane private systems to be placed behind the screen
- and firing through it with a -3db point of 18 Hz or so rated at
- 1000 watts. (Pretty neat huh?)
-
- I want to use an alternate method to get a linelevel signal there
- with the amplifier behind the screen as well as losses on the run
- from a projection booth to behind the screen are too high and the
- run of quality cable gets expensive quick.
-
- Other ideas I'be been tinkering with are radio (interference prone),
- 10Ghz analog gunplexer (Bit expensive for a single mono channel of
- audio), optical transmission sans cable (Donno about potential
- interference with inversion layers from heating and cooling systems or
- potential interference from the heat and light of a commercial projector
- at the recieveing end [as it would have to face the booth])
-
- Point to point cabling I'd guesstimate the run path to be 350+ feet,
- ideas?
