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.
