Sadly the packaging had been riddled with courier stickers and labels so it would have been useless trying to illustrate how the packaging looks.

The S362 arrive in a large box and inside all items are well protected with polystyrene and wrapped in clear plastic covers. Inside are the satellites, sub-woofer and variety of cables for connectivity.

The Satellites are each 12W and are for the most part of plastic construction. The right side features controls for volume, bass and treble whilst the left has audio jacks for headphones/MP3 usage. The satellites are lightweight and easy to store or tuck away – the underside features rubber padding to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces.



The next item is the 50W sub-woofer. This is largely wooden and features a large 14mm high fidelity membrane to assist with immersive bass control. Both the satellites and sub-woofer have been designed to be aesthetically pleasing – looking great next to the PC or TV.

On the reverse of the sub-woofer are a variety of sockets that include Audio IN for the hooking up to the TV, PC, MP3 or other devices. The Audio OUT are for the twin satellites and the line controller socket takes a plug from the right sided satellite – this is 10-pin. It must be said – the cable for the line controller is rather short and so this restricts the distance the satellites can sit from the sub-woofer. The mains power switch is also found on the back panel here.





With the brief overview complete let’s test the ARCTIC S362’s and see how they fare in a variety of different scenarios.
