How to increase sound output from projector

[higrace]

Hi there, I'm trying to get a louder sound coming from my projector that is already connected to Apple TV. I have the sound coming out from the projector to external powered speakers that has a volume control knob, and it's already turned to the maximum, but the sound is not as loud as if I had connected the external speakers to my computer. Is there anything I can do? Originally I had wanted to just turn on my projector and start flipping through Apple TV apps, but it seems that the sound is not loud enough because it is limited by my projector. My projector sound is already at maximum 10. Someone else on another thread said to get an amplifier that connects by 3.5mm that fits in between the projector and the speakers. Where can I get such an item? What would it be called? Thank you!!

A simple set of amplified desktop PC speakers would therefore be what you are looking for. They have a 3.5mm jack, which would connect to your device.

You can't add an amplifier to self powered speakers
You could get an amplifier and passive speaker.
You can get one of these to increase the output of the projector

or get self powered speakers that have more gain and power.

Yes thanks. And that's what I did. I connected the desktop Bose companion 2 speakers to the projector's 3.5mm, but the sound is "not as good" as if I connected them directly to my MacBook's 3.5mm.
