    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. 
     
    Specifications 

    Speaker Power: 
    8  Watts RMS per channel (4 channels) 
    18 Watts center speaker
    26 Watts RMS subwoofer 
     
    Frequency Response: 40Hz ~ 20kHz 

    Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80dB 
     
    Dimensions: 

    Front/Rear Satellites: 80mm x 70mm x 183mm 
    Center Speaker: 170mm x 105mm x 82mm
    Subwoofer: 182mm x 253mm x 286mm 

    Speaker Sizes: 
     
    Front/Rear Mir-Range Drivers: 55mm / 2.125"

    Front Tweeters: 25mm / 1" 

    Center Full-Range Driver: 68mm / 2.875"
      
    Subwoofer: 180mm / 7"    
      

    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.
