3. Components Overview
Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Blackweb 2.1 PC Speaker System.
Figure 1: Blackweb BWA17HO011 2.1 PC Speaker System. This image displays the Blackweb 2.1 PC Speaker System, featuring a central subwoofer unit, two compact satellite speakers, and a small, circular wired control puck. The control puck has an 'AUX IN' port and controls for volume and bass. The overall design is black.
3.1 Subwoofer
The central unit that produces deep bass sounds. It houses the main connections for power, satellite speakers, and the audio input from your device.
3.2 Satellite Speakers
Two compact speakers designed to deliver clear mid-range and high-frequency audio. These connect to the subwoofer.
3.3 Wired Control Puck
A convenient desktop control unit for managing your speaker system. It typically includes:
- Power Control: To turn the system on or off.
- Volume Control: To adjust the overall sound level.
- Bass Control: To adjust the intensity of the bass output.
- AUX IN (3.5 mm Audio Input): For connecting external audio devices directly to the control puck.
4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Blackweb 2.1 PC Speaker System:
- Positioning: Place the subwoofer on the floor or a sturdy surface near your computer or audio source. Position the satellite speakers on either side of your monitor or listening area, ensuring they are facing you for optimal sound.
- Connect Satellite Speakers: Connect the cables from the two satellite speakers into the corresponding output ports on the back of the subwoofer. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect Audio Input: Locate the 3.5 mm audio cable extending from the wired control puck. Plug this cable into the headphone jack or audio output port of your computer, laptop, television, or other audio device. Note: This model typically uses a single 3.5mm green plug for audio input directly to your device. An additional 'third cord' for older models is generally not required for the BWA17HO011 if the control puck does not have a dedicated input for it.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cable from the subwoofer into a standard electrical outlet.
- Power On: Use the power control on the wired control puck to turn on the speaker system. The power indicator light should illuminate.
5. Operating Your Speaker System
5.1 Power On/Off
Press the power button on the wired control puck to turn the speakers on or off. An indicator light will confirm the power status.
5.2 Adjusting Volume
Rotate the volume dial on the wired control puck clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. You may also need to adjust the volume on your connected audio device.
5.3 Adjusting Bass
Rotate the bass control dial on the wired control puck to increase or decrease the subwoofer's bass output according to your preference.
5.4 Using the AUX IN Port
To play audio from a portable device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player), connect a 3.5 mm audio cable from your device's headphone jack to the AUX IN port on the wired control puck. This input will typically override the main audio input from your computer.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your speaker system, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the speakers and subwoofer. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Placement: Avoid placing the speakers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity or dust. Ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer.
- Cable Management: Keep cables organized and free from kinks or excessive bending to prevent damage.
