Speakers.

Product Description

The flatpanel speakers will easily stand on your desktop using the integrated
desk stands. You can also attach them to the side of some IBM monitors with
the included accessory mounting bar. The speakers can also be used with IBM
monitors that do not have the accessory bar mounting feature by utilizing the
adhesive clip pads. The accessory bar comes in two parts and is adjustable to
fit a wide range of monitor sizes. The speaker also has two headphone jacks
for private listening.
