Hey just wanted to give everyone an update. I purchased the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and it sounds great so I'm just going to stick with it. I will however, be utilizing all the new knowledge I have thanks to all your help when I build my own desktop computer over the summer and am purchasing a sound ca...
I found this quote in an AppleInsider forum thread: "The digital out supports both Dolby Digital and DTS, you have to get a sound card if you want analog 5.1 output..." This specific post was made in 2006, so if macbook pro's had them then mine must as well. There was also this quote: &quo...
Ok I believe my model is the MA896. Every specification list I've looked at only says that is has a sound card, not what the name of the sound card is. It does have everything potatochobit said however: Built-in stereo speakers Built in omnidirectional microphone Combined optical digital audio input...
this is the macbook pro specs That link brings you to the MacBook Pro's after my design. Mine's a little over a year old and is the complete silver model. I tried looking at the System Profiler as mentioned before to check what sound card I had but couldn't find anything. I'll look online to see if...
Ya I will take it thanks morphine; and that explanation was exactly what I needed I appreciate it. Do you know of anywhere I can read up on receivers and/or anywhere I can read about speaker systems in general? Also I'm assuming, because my laptop's sound card is not able to output signals in surrou...
It seems to me that only the sub is powered, that is you still need a receiver (amp) for the remaining speakers.
If the satellites are plugged directly into the sub can't the sub work as the receiver? Sorry if this is an ignorant question, again, this is my first time researching speakers.
Ok here's a picture of the subwoofer; the model is a Mirage FRX s8 and it says it contains an amplifier right at the top: http://img69.imageshack.us/i/photo50h.jpg/ The 2 satellites say their Mirage AVS-200 on the back, and a Mirage FRX C-1 or FRX Center is the centerspeaker, although I'm pretty sur...
Only thing I'd have to do is get a Y-cable to drive the audio into my computer, I think. From looking at their website, it seems like Mirage make unpowered (no integrated amp) speakers. So you'd need some sort of amplifier (unless your speakers have integrated power amps). Your cousin has a bunch o...
I've got the Z2300's. Good bass, decent mids and highs. The bass can be a little overpowering sometimes especially when gaming. Numerous times I have had the volume set to where character voices in cut scenes are just audible and still had my girlfriend complain that the walls of our apartment were...
You can peruse my thread for any additional information if you want. Pretty much anything I have to say, I've said in there. Thanks I already have :D . I think my only remaining question is how the wireless will affect the sound quality of the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, as this is the feature in their n...
I have two sets of the Z5500's. One set is connected to my computer the other set is hooked up to my TV. The sub with the z5500's is fairly large so you need to think about that. Also if you have neighbors and turn the speakers up much they are going to hear them. What kind of sound outputs does yo...
well, speaker 'technology' does not really evolve at a fast pace what does change is the components inside of an amplifier this will give you the prologic, prologic IIx, trueHD, etc. so keep in mind your motherboard must have decent onboard sound or you might need a sound card the very first thing ...
Ok, so I've been researching 2.1 and 5.1 systems to use on my year old MacBook Pro in my college apartment. The best systems I've found rating/review wise have been logitech systems like the z2300 and z5500. However, I'm thoroughly flustered by their age, as they came out in 2005. I was hoping someo...
