I'm working on a little project drainer for a friend of mine. She wants a sound bar type speaker to mount under her flat screen in her salon. drainer It's a bigger place, and the little TV speakers just don't cut it for clarity when it's noisy. I've already got the driver combo and amp picked out, but the only problem is that she doesn't want to have to walk over and adjust the volume knob all the time. So I was wondering if anyone knew of or had experience with a small IR remote module that can be tied in to replace the volume knob on a Dayton DTA-2? Hopefully something around 5V since I already have a few regulators on hand. Once this project is finished I will be doing a write up if anyone wants to try one for yourselves. So far I'm pretty excited about it.

I would check the TV to see if it has a variable output, some of them do, that way you can set your amp and just use the volume control on the TV. If it has a headphone output drainer then that should work too, but some sets also have a regular audio output that can be controlled with the TV volume.
Yeah I tried to get her to check to see if it was the type that is variable, or if it's the type that shuts off the volume option when an aux source is hooked up. She said I was speaking greek lol. The only thing I do know for sure is that it does have L&R RCA audio outs. Not the single digital out thankfully. Next time I'm by there I'm going to check it out, but I figured I'd check ahead of time just in case. I never thought about the headphone out jack though. drainer That should be variable regardless of the type I think. Thanks!

It's often buried deep in the audio settings to have the rca output controlled by the volume.
