| Product Details 2.1 Speaker Kit: 2 satellites + a wooden subwoofer Total Output Power: 12 watts Peak Power Exclusive and compact design : Dimensions of each satellite speaker: 140 x 90 x 70mm (H x W x D). Dimensions of the subwoofer : 190 x 130 x 170mm (H x W x D) Wired remote control: Volume control knob on the remote control Line input on the remote control: to connect an MP3 player, no need to unplug the main audio source Magnetically shielded satellite speakers, wooden subwoofer (included Bass Reflex technology). Satellites for flat surfaces, not wall mountable. « On/Off » button on the subwoofer 1.5m cable to connect the audio source -------------------- Specification 2.1 System for transmitting sound over three channels, with 2 channels reproducing medium and high range frequencies and 1 channel reproducing bass frequencies. Magnetic shielding Magnetic shielding shields against the magnetic field generated by speakers, for example. If a speaker is touching a CRT screen (television or computer), magnetic shielding is necessary to avoid disturbing the display. Satellite Satellite is the name given to a speaker which does not reproduce bass frequencies: this speaker is therefore the satellite to a subwoofer. In a X.1 kit (2.1, 4.1, 5.1 , 6.1 or 7.1), the digit before the point 1, i.e. the 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7, represents the number of satellites in the speaker kit. Subwoofer The subwoofer is a speaker which reproduces bass frequencies, and is often larger than other types of speakers as bass frequencies require larger membranes than is the case with high or medium frequencies. A single subwoofer is most often included in a speaker kit: as bass frequencies are transmitted all around the membrane (omnidirectionally) and not just in front of the membrane, a single subwoofer is sufficient to provide rich bass sound all across an area, as long as it is powerful enough. In a X.1 kit (2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1), the digit after the period, i.e. the 1, signifies that 1 subwoofer is included. Speaker Unit reproducing an acoustic wave from an electrical signal which vibrates one or more membranes, the movements creating a sound wave. Headphone plug Stereo audio output allowing for the connection of stereo headphones. A headphone plug uses a connector in 3.5mm mini-jack format. Stereo Abbreviation of stereophonic. A stereophonic signal is a signal transmitted over 2 channels: one channel on the left and one channel on the right, whereby the sound transmitted is different on each channel. Dome-shaped driver Speaker driver with a dome shape for enhanced sound distribution. Driver A driver is a device which transforms a signal into another signal: a speaker is a driver which transforms an electrical signal into a sound signal. Watts Peak Power Watts Peak Power represents the peak electrical power delivered by an amplifier to speakers. |
