Product Description Companion® 5
The Companion 5 is a multi-channel multimedia speaker system connecting to personal
computers via a USB 2.0 interface. No additional sound card is required to enjoy 5.1-channel
audio
content from the host PC. The two speaker arrays combined with advanced audio processing
algorithms provide a spacious presentation of stereo content and a compelling experience with
multi-channel content. A control module brings the master volume control, simple touch mute
control and jacks for an auxiliary analog stereo input and headphones.
The Companion 5 system consisting of the following major components:
1. Bass speaker enclosure with Woofer
2. Control Module with an 8-foot (2.4M) cable.
3. Two two-element speaker arrays with integrated cables, uniquely keyed and identified for
left and right locations.
The speaker arrays are mounted on removable speaker stands that are engineered to position
the speakers at the correct height and angle on either side of a computer monitor. The
transducers contained in the speaker enclosures may not be replaced. The speaker grills are
glued in to prevent movement during shipping.
The integrated speaker cable is hard wired into the speaker enclosure and is not removable.
