4.1 Components

- Satellite Speakers: Two smaller speakers for mid-range and high-frequency audio.
- Integrated USB Cable: Connects to your computer for both power and audio signal transmission.
4.2 Controls
The Defender V11 features tactile controls, typically located on the front or side of the subwoofer unit. These controls usually include:
- Volume Control: To adjust the overall sound level.
- Power On/Off: To switch the speaker system on or off.
Refer to the specific markings on your unit for exact control locations and functions.
5. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Defender V11 2.1 speaker system:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Position Speakers: Place the subwoofer on a stable surface, preferably on the floor or desk near your computer. Position the two satellite speakers on either side of your monitor for optimal stereo separation.
- Connect Satellite Speakers: Connect the cables from the satellite speakers to the corresponding ports on the back of the subwoofer unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect to Computer: Plug the integrated USB cable from the subwoofer into an available USB port on your computer. This single cable provides both power and the audio signal.
- Power On: Turn on your computer. The speaker system should automatically power on or can be switched on using its tactile power control.
- Adjust Volume: Play some audio on your computer and adjust the volume using the speaker's tactile volume control and your computer's system volume.
Note: For optimal performance, especially at higher volumes, it is recommended to use a USB port that provides stable power, such as a direct port on your computer or a powered USB hub. Some users may find a dedicated USB wall adapter (not included) beneficial for consistent power delivery, as mentioned in user feedback.
