Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers - What's in the Box?
(Page 2 of 4 )
Well, to start with there isn't actually a box to speak of, just the plain packaging in which it was shipped. OEMs don't want or need a fancy box, and neither do I.
Plain and simple.
The setup includes:
Subwoofer/Base (also houses the amplifier)
1x Central Speaker
2x Front Speakers
2x Rear Speakers
Everything is tightly packed.
And everything's nicely wrapped up.
The speakers were all individually wrapped up, and each of the satellites has a protective piece of plastic stuck around its edge to keep it nice and shiny.
The Front-Right satellite has a volume dial and headphone jack, and both of the front speakers are two-way, with both a mid-range driver and a tweeter for extra detail on the high pitch frequencies. The central speaker has an adjustable stand, and the four side speakers have detachable desk-stands that clip on (sadly these are fixed and not adjustable).
This is where the action's at.
The satellite speakers all attach individually to the sub woofer through AV-type phono connectors, and the sub in turn connects to the soundcard through three regular 3.5mm stereo jacks. The front and center speakers have 1.8m of cable each, and the two rear speakers have 3.5m of cable so there's plenty of room for wall mounting if you want to.

Bulls on Parade.
Just above the right speakers you can see the power supply (which is deceptively heavy). The system can supposedly top 75watts RMS, however the power supply's specified output is 5000mA at 13.5volts which is 67.5w. This may be a cost-cutting measure... still, it's not a huge difference.
Now on to installing and using the speakers.
