Our exclusive True Space® surround digital processing circuitry spreads the sound around you, so the enveloping effects seem to come from areas where there aren't even any speakers. The experience is developed especially for computer listening — putting you right in the middle of the music, the game, the special effects. * Specially engineered speaker arrays:fully assembled on stands for optimum performance & more usable desktop space. * Handy control pod:houses volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack & connection for a second audio source such as an MP3 player. * Compact Acoustimass® module:provides clean low frequencies, allowing the desktop speakers to be very small without sacrificing performance.
