User Manual
Thank you for choosing Xcellon.
The DWS-300B is a 2.0 speaker system that contains a colorful
and entertaining light show driven by the sound of your music.
In Dancing Bead mode, colorful beads that are suspended in
water swirl to the rhythm of the music. Dancing Water mode
fires colorful jets of water into the air along with the beat.
The speakers are powered via an included USB cable that can
be attached to a computer or USB wall adapter. The included
audio cable lets you connect the speakers to an MP3 player,
smartphone, tablet, or computer, and control the volume and
music from your device. The slim profile of these lightweight
speakers allows you to place them almost anywhere to provide
instant entertainment.
