No, that's not an animatronic jellyfish or spacecraft! Before your very eyes is the next evolution in Harmon Kardon's multimedia speakers; more specifically, their SoundSticks III, 2.1 Channel Multimedia Sound System. Few multimedia sound systems can boast that their predecessor, the SoundStick II system, was part of the permanent collection at New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), but that's exactly the claim the SoundSticks III speaker system can make. Taking its older sibling's look even further, the SoundSticks III system distinctively stands out with transparent casing, elegant black accents, and a luminescent white LED glow.
Beyond its pop-culture appeal and modern, industrial design, this system is an excellent choice for all your multimedia audio needs. From the system's 3.5 mm line input jack, you can connect your MP3 player, computer, laptop, portable CD or DVD player, your gaming system ("Y" adapter cable required), or almost any other device with a 3.5 mm stereo line-level output.
Once you're connected, you'll find that the system produces rich, realistic, room-filling sound that hits you at every frequency range. For consistent, powerful bass, you'll have a down-firing subwoofer that utilizes a 6" speaker cone. With that down-firing subwoofer, the bass sound is more consistently spread in all directions by bouncing sound waves off the surface on which the subwoofer sits. In addition, the subwoofer features a flared port designed to reduce port noise when you want to crank the volume, and, of course, a separate bass volume knob for cranking.
Accompanying the subwoofer, you'll have at your listening pleasure two, space-saving satellite speakers that utilize a total of eight, 1" full-range transducers. Each satellite's four transducers will fully fill out your sound to ultimately ensure that you'll hear music or video exactly the way the composer intended. For managing your sound, the satellites feature sensitive touch controls for raising, lowering, or muting the system volume. All told, this stunningly designed system delivers outstanding sound for all your multimedia audio needs. Who knows, you might even consider making it your primary audio system.
