Speedlink Methron 2.1 speaker system (subwoofer, two satellite speakers, 45 Watt RMS, treble and bass control, remote control table) white (accessory)

Customer Review

Review the speaker system Speedlink Methron:

As my Cambridge SoundWorks Computer Speakers for now 15 years, prepared slowly more and more problems, I decided to flash deals summarily for the system Speedlink Methron in the course of the Amazon action, as it action caused only marginally (cast. 5.00) more cost, as the little brother Speedlink Jugger. (Ordered from Amazon, however, is the order of my girlfriend went)

Packing:

Speakers, subwoofers and cable were sufficiently well packaged. Everything was ready securely stowed by Styrofoam and small pouches, which m. M. n. Largely thought of the environment was a bit more packing and securing of the goods is part of it and should remain so! On top were also two small installation descriptions in various languages ​​(including in German), which will probably not even be necessary for most.

Material and quality appeal:

Both speakers, and subwoofers are processed properly. The snow-white appearance seems a little cheap and might not be everyone's taste possibly meet. One would have here can perhaps resort to a slightly darker white, because the plastic has a very raw effect on me. I think that this, however, is a matter of taste. The product picture is reality very close, so I already knew what I was getting myself into. At least for me the light system with red protective grilles like good, because you can hide a little as well as the annoying dust problem. ;-) The black speaker my home theater system are very vulnerable, and, of course, the topic of dust has not disappeared even in white plastic
After pulling out the subwoofer from its packaging, the look inside the, at least for a PC speaker system, powerful acting rubber surround is quite striking the sight strengthened in any case, the anticipation and excitement at the result. The rotary control, both on the sub, as well as the control dial on the remote control, left a very pleasant haptic and backlash-free impression. In particular, the remote control has a decent weight, which is why they perfectly rests and remains even when using in place - also contributes to a thin non-slip coating on the underside at. The product is collectively produced valuable and largely error-free.

Installation:

If you just want to test the system in advance first, the installation is done in minutes. After hearing this sample was with me at least a little more complicated, because the wiring should be routed through the rear wall of the cabinet and behind this along to the PC, but this is true Speedlink course not to blame. The speaker cables are as far as passable with 2 meters length for a little trickier installation projects. Should it really be necessary, there is of course suitable for the RCA cable extensions to purchase from your dealer. The power cord of Subs is advised with just over a meter a bit short, but it has at least as far as fit relatively well with me. The cable of the remote control to the computer is perfectly adequate for a computer desk normal size, only the connecting cable from remote control to the subwoofer is dimensioned quite short with 1.5m under certain circumstances. For me the Kabelabmaße have passed with a little fiddling and happiness, even though I, as already written, behind a cupboard through small detours through the rear wall had since the sub in the lower compartment of a shelf should find place. The speaker cables could be laid almost invisible and are up on the connecting cable to the remote control white. Let to the existing remote control at home and external music playback sources such as mobile phones or MP3 players connect via 3.5 mm jack. However, I have this option itself is not used and therefore can not play this personal experience.

Function and sound:

If the system is connected and turned on the power, suggests a little green, but inconspicuous light and the orange light illuminated on / off switch. On subwoofer even it is possible in addition to a built-switchable standby function and on / off switch to adjust the volume and the bass impact. The standby function makes sure sense, because even if you, like me, uses a turn-off circuit, the system of the plant comes after about 60 minutes there be no use of intelligent alone into standby on and switches off - whom it has never happened, after use completely off his circuit !? Whom this does not seem necessary, the function may turn off.
Since I live in rent and would like me einhandeln no stress with my neighbors, I'll probably never be able to really ausreizen system, let alone bring to its limits. During testing I have adjusted the subwoofer basis of various musical styles. Among other things, ran Peter Fox Stadtaffe, Schiller Opus, Device with same name album and Skrillex Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites. Already a slight turning of the settings on the sub has truly remarkable effects result. The bass can be regulated deep and yet rather inconspicuous, while the speakers especially with fine treble and midrange m. M .n. play an excellent sound. I think it's an adjustment possible for every musical genre. For me, I have found a relatively neutral setting imho. (;-) Also tested rudimentary) I want it but once experience a little bass-intensive, is up in any case more than enough power to the quake Let there It might even be apt in my case, to use appropriate bass absorbers to the Bass to have there, where it should be; and not in the cabinet wood itself. Such absorbers Bass or Bass spikes called, you get here or elsewhere in different online stores and can knackigerem and contribute subjectively more direct bass.

_____________________

CONCLUSION:

Apart from the bad light and plastic that may be slightly shorter Kabelabmaße at special sites, this speaker system is highly recommended and comes m. M. n. But with a fair price / performance therefore. Those looking for a new speaker system, is here surely have his joy. I hope this review has helped some to with your decision. In my life, music plays, especially in rock and metal sector, but also in various other styles of music an important role, so I at least do not want to belong to the totally unsuspecting listeners. Of course, it is possible more powerful, higher quality and more expensive to get sound speaker systems, there is no question. In high-end sector and its representatives there making sure no limits. However, those who, like me, want at a reasonable price, for everyday use, really good system, which outgrows certain already above the normal standard, will make a mistake with the Speedlink Methron. But listen for yourself ...

Thank you for taking time and reading!
