Closer Look


Satellites

The satellites have a textured coating over MDF with a glossy plastic fascia. The aesthetic is simple and non-offensive and should fit into most environments. The centre speaker is laid horizontally with a pair of drivers.


Just for show?

The front and rear satellites have a strange, solid plastic cover over where a tweeter may be, these may contain passive radiators as there is a small air hole in the centre of the dome, unfortunately the units are sealed and cannot be opened to find out. This image also demonstrates how much of a dust magnet the glossy black fascias are.


All closed up

The satellies are each angled at a slight upward facing direction. At the base, each has soft rubber feet to reduce errant vibrations and stop them slipping around.


The sub/amp front

The fascia of the subwoofer/amp is half matt, half glossy with a large volume dial. Also present are hard buttons for bass volume, front volume and speaker mute. Clicking in the large dial toggles between input sources.


The subwoofer

The large 6.5" subwoofer is covered up with a removable fabric grille. From the side you can appreciate how large this sub is, at 190x267x400mm, it has a fairly sizable footprint.


Grille removed

Bring on the bass.


Round the back

The rear side has a 2.5" bass reflex port and an aluminium heatsink keeping the amp cool.


I/O options

At the top left there is a quintuplet of output RCA connectors for all the satellites, adjacent to that are the 6 channel RCA inputs. Below the main 6 RCA is an auxiliary Stereo RCA input followed by a coaxial and an optical TOSLINK.
