In the SPA-2000, is there any "soft" way of increasing audio volume and
decreasing ring volume?? Thanks and best regards,

No, it's down to the phone. My phones (BT Converse 2025) both have ring
and audio volume settings anyway.

You might possibly cause a phone to ring louder if you increase the
ringing voltage but I wouldn't recommend it or guarantee it wouldn't break
your phone, so you try it at your own risk..!

Thanks for your reply Ivor. I want to make the ring softer, not louder..
Does this mean that I can lower the ringing voltage safely?
Thanks, and best regards,

Is it a mechanical or electronic ringer?

Miguel, Ivor: It's an electronic ringer. I experimented with lowering the
voltage and there is a threshold around 50 volts where the ringer simply
stops working (which was to be expected). I do not have a ring control on
the phone so I guess I'm going to have to live with it. Best regard,

Possibly, but depending on the type of ringer it might just stop working
altogether..!

It really is a phone function, maybe it's worth trying a different phone.

Or change the phone ;-)

If you are going to change it, why not experiment and put a resistor
in series with the ringer unit. What is the worst that can happen?
You can break the phone and you need to change it, which leaves you at
step #1 "change the phone". ;-)
