Bosambo Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I've read a bunch of posts about this topic and also, elsewhere, that in some countries (especially the UK) the manufacturers, due to our nazi like safety laws, have to put restrictions on the volume of personal stereos. So with this in mind does any one think it's possible to tweak a unit to make it louder. I own a Sony MZ-N710 with MDR-EX71 earphones and altough I love em, the volume is woefully low. I'm a hip-hop head and so I NEED that boom-bap to come thru loud and clear. Any hints people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well, unfortunately this same question has been asked here and elsewhere several times, but no-one has yet come up with a volume boosting hardware/software mod. The volume-capping is an EU regulation, not a UK one, in fact specifically the French have had volume restriction in place for quite a few years. Sony has merely taken the lowest common denominator for all their European models, maybe to save some money. Only current Sony equipment (CD players as well as MDs) seem to be afflicted. If you can somehow exchange your N710 for any Sharp recorder you will get much higher volume levels (2 x 10mW or 8mW), and hopefully be much happier...
