Description
The AC45.2 is an amplified speaker
system featuring a subwoofer for
extended low frequency response. The
system is especially designed
for multimedia computer near field
monitoring.
A patented control circuit automatically
boosts bass at low volume to maintain
musical sound “realism.”
Electronic up/down controls adjust
system volume. The subwoofer has a
separate volume control for blending the
subwoofer level with the satellites to
the listeners preference.
The satellite speakers have a detachable
base that allows the speakers to be
angled upwards if desired for better
directivity of sound.
The satellites are magnetically shielded
to prevent distortion of monitor images.
Please note, that the subwoofer is NOT
magnetically shielded
and should not be placed in close
proximity to
the monitor.
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER- SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
