Hello hello, first post after years of trolling.
I'm making a grid of 2.5" computer speakers, let's say twenty speakers wide by ten speakers long. I want to be able to send small clicks or pops to each one independently. I think it would be a lot of fun to have a a 3v supply and reed switch in line with each speaker and quickly pass a magnet over any given switch to cause a 3v "pop" in the associated speaker. This could be fine, but then I have to run 200 (plus grounding) wires to all of these damn speakers. I'm not against it, but that's a lot of dough in wires, especially if i want to separate the speakers from the "switch board." I figure there is probably some sort of matrixing solution.
I'm somewhat familiar with the very fast switching techniques used to operate an LED matrix, but I don't want very fast switching on the speakers, because it would be audible. I need to be able to make discrete "pops" on individual speakers. Ideas?
THX for your help!
