Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
Hi,
I'm looking for some kind of adapter that will allow me to connect my old braun SK6 to an external amplifier. Please see attached – is it possible to connect the black two pronged plug on the right of the image (don't know what these are called) to an adapter that will then send the audio to an external amp/speaker set up instead of the built in internal speaker? |

Re: Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
The round DIN connector (marked with the tape symbol) is probably your best bet at it generally has both an input and output on that connector for rec/playback from a tape machine (designed (in this case I would guess) primarily to be able to record radio programmes).
Cables are freely available for this purpose as the same connector/pinout was used on a lot of devices. Just look for a DIN to RCA plug, one with 4 RCA plugs being the most flexible, or just make your own. |

This https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N0PYY...a-445380327055 will do admirably two of the plugs will have audio on them, the other two will be inputs.

Re: Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
The Braun SK6 has rather unusual loudspeaker connections.

Re: Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
Thanks roffe, I had already seen your post. I'll try the above mentioned DIN to 4 RCA cable and report back. I have a feeling this solution seems too simple to be true!
Thanks again |

Re: Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
Back in about 1960 I had a Telefunken mono tape recorder with a similar DIN line level in/out socket. A simple DIN to RCA cable worked fine with my main hi fi amp & speakers.

Re: Braun SK6 – connecting external speaker
So there's good news and bad news...
The good news is I have sound out of the Braun and into my amp using the DIN connector as described above. The bad news is I'm only getting one channel. Also the output is very quiet. Any other ideas? Thanks |
