JANUARY 2020 PCWorld 91When you power the speakers on, a tiny LED
behind the grille on the right satellite changes
from red to blue.
The T100 has a rich, warm sound, with
excellent bass response. The tinny highs that
are often a feature of desktop speakers are
noticeably absent here. Everything I put
through these speakers had a smooth,4.8 inches (HWD) with a matte-black grille
and gloss-black finish on the sides. The tops
of the satellites are matte-black, and the right
one features input source, volume, and
power buttons.
A pair of 2.75-inch full-range drivers with
built-in digital amplifiers delivers up to 40W
RMS and a peak power of up to 80W. In lieu
of a subwoofer, the T100 uses BasXport
technology to reproduce the bottom end.
These ports are positioned on the top back of
each satellite.
The T100 offers more connectivity
options than you typically find in desktop
speakers, most of which are located on the
back of the right satellite. There’s a standard
3.5mm AUX-in port to handle your desktop
audio or other wired devices, and an
optical-in to connect your PS4. There’s also
a USB input so you can play FLAC, WAV,
and MP3 files directly from a flash drive.
Lastly, you can stream from mobile devices
via Bluetooth.
The system comes with a remote control
that enables functions you won’t find on the
right speaker. These include EQ presets for
music, movies, live concerts, and video
games, as well as buttons for adjusting treble
and bass levels.
To set up the system, you only need to
connect the cable attached to the right
satellite to the port on the back of the left one,
then insert the power cord into the input of
the right satellite and plug it into an outlet.
You can control the T100 from the top of the right
satellite.
