Description
The Boston Acoustics BA4800 is an analog 5-piece, 4-channel surround speaker system ideal for computer gaming or any enhanced audio application at the desktop. The system includes 4 powered micro-satellites and a large, amplified, ported subwoofer for deep bass response. The BA4800 performs best with PC sound cards offering 4-speaker output (e.g., 2 stereo outputs, front and rear), but also sounds impressive as a 3-piece music system when connected to any head­phone jack or line-level output (portable CD player, MiniDisc play er, MP3 player, etc.). With added features like MagnaGuard connections and speaker-mounted controls, you not only get the renowned Boston Acoustics sound but uncommon flexibility.
