    What sound parameter/s are best to measure safe listening volumes?

    So, while I understand that using an Android app to measure db levels is not hyper accurate, it surely gives a useful indication. I work at a desk, and listen to either noise cancelling headphones or near-field bookshelves for extended periods (say 6-8h a day). I'm quite happy to listen at very...

    Constructive thoughts on an unconventional mini-solar install?

    Hi all, So like many, we're trying to buffer ourselves against loadshedding - however, we do not have 100k+ for a whole PV+inverter+battery setup. We use very little electricity as a household of two: about R700pm prepaid. Only major appliances are geyser, A++ fridge, 1000W pressure cooker...

    Apple TV+ app on android box - no surround sound option?

    So I'm trialing an apple TV+ subscription (not the apple TV hardware/TV box). I'm using this apple TV+ app, installed from google play, on my Ematic AGT419 android TV box. The settings are very limited, and unless I'm really blind, there's no option to send digital audio over the Android TV...
