how loud is this speaker on a level of 1 to 10? Does an addtional speaker add more volume (twice the power) or do they share the same initial level? I need a loud speaker for work (loud enviroment)!

Theses speakers are loud and depending on how where you put them and the acoustic's of the room these things can fill any room. I work in a kitchen where they have to compete against Steam kettles, Oven fans, Hood Fans, fryers and background noise (like people chatting and people eating). I have friends at work who have the smaller classic Jams and they can fill a room pretty well. Unless you work in like a wear house that you need ear plugs then you'll defiantly need something bigger and louder. I strongly recommend these speakers they are worth the money.

Two speakers will give you twice the volume. Depending on the amount of back ground noise you are working inwill defentley effect the quality of sound these speaker can produce. I think a pair of these speakers will be a good choice for you.

Pair of speakers is definitely the way to go. The volume with just one speaker is decent if you are sitting at a desk or within a few feet of the speaker. If you need the sound to fill a room, you definitely need two.

I can't tell you the exact DB level at full volume--I don't have a meter. Full volume is reasonably loud--you should be able to hear it quite well across a BIG room. I never turn it all the way up. It is in my bedroom & that would be too loud. I have to turn it off when the TV is on so I can hear the TV better. Otherwise, I keep it on all the time.

Hi Dale, Hummm.... I don't know what to say. Ours does go up to 10. That's where we usually run it too. I really sounds great. The sub woofer does need it's own power outlet however but is wireless from the bar. Can I suggest unplugging everything and reconnecting it. Be sure the battery in the remote is strong. We did have to replace it nearly right away because it had become too weak. The new one took care of the problem right away. I hope this helps Dale. It is a good machine here.

It is actually not an amplified device, meaning it will not make your system louder rather distribute the power to different zones with volume control, no louder than what your master volume is set to.Great device if that is what you want!

I think it is quite a bit louder than the iPad speaker. There is no volume control on the speaker, but I am able to control the volume through the iPad. For the cost and ease of use, I think this is a very good speaker.

late to answer, but I play drums and it is loud enough for me. I also wear ear plugs everytime I play (fyi), I have mine mounted to a boom arm/cymbal arm and its near my right ear (about 2 feet away +/-) and the volume is up all the way. Its built in speaker is loud enough - but then again that would depend on what voice I use. Accent plus the first voice I believe.

The speaker is not very loud. It is small. ( I am used to a LOUD speaker at work, so I might expect too much. )

That's the peak power output according to manufacture specs but the actual power out is about 1700 watts(roughly) and I wouldn't hook it up to a speaker that big. You gotta try try to keep everything level otherwise you'd be over tasking one of the components. I didn't particularly like this model.

Hi Robert- as a musician, I would say sound quality and ambience with this speaker are very good. If your party is just a fee kids, it might be loud enough for background music, but if it's a larger group and/or the kids are looking to dance, I would advise something with at least double or triple the wattage rating of this unit. Cheers,

No, this should not be loud at all. There is very little sound coming from my device, definitely not loud enough to be a problem or a distraction. If it's as loud as you're describing, then you definitely have a defective product.

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeterabout 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reducelevel of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

Can't answer your question but can tell you this, the volume isn't very loud even when fully charged you're better off spending a little more for a better speaker ie: 40-50. Also the unit is larger than they picture it, hope this helps.

Tom here. I'm happy with Oontz speaker quality and sound. Don't like the voice either and have not found a way to silence it. There seems no way to silence it not turn it down. Sorry fellow tech lover!

It plays pretty loud. The only way to control the volume on the speaker is through the computer or bluetooth device that you have it hooked up to. I don't really like that about the speaker because it plays way to loud for me even when I have the computer or bluetooth device volume down to almost nothing. I work in an office and can't have my volume that loud. I would much rather have a speaker that I can control the volume on the actual unit. But the sound quality is really good and the battery last for a very long time. I can get anywhere from 3 to 4 1/2 days out of one charge and within a few hours is it fully charged again.

I run them with the D1 all the way up. I set the speaker volume quite loud when the computer is turned all the way up and then use the computer volume control to adjust the overall sound. This is not to say that other systems may not work as well or better. One could argue that the best setting is computer and D1 all the way up and use the speaker controls to adjust volume, but I find this inconvenient given the location of the computer and speakers in my office.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.
