1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:07,919
this is the sound science rocket 3D this

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,840
is a 2.1 speaker system with a Twist

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:14,440
okay so let's start with the outside of the box and then I'll get into a little

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,720
bit more detail about what is unique about the rockus so here oh we actually

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,320
find absolutely no information whatsoever okay moving around to the

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,000
other side we will find absolutely no information whatsoever except for a

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,759
small sticker that says it is the sound

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,680
science rocket so I'm going to go ahead get my knife out here and let's get this

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:39,200
baby open and show you guys what is going down in plain empty cardboard box

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,360
town and last one there we are ah we

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:50,559
have a retail box in there I could have actually started the unboxing with the

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,600
proper retail box rather than this well I didn't know cameraman's giving me that

13
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:58,320
look it's like how was I supposed to

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:03,719
know okay there we go now we're going to learn about features and basically what

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,439
it looks like so it's a speaker system okay if a 2.1 didn't give that away

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,560
before then uh you might as well unsubscribe to the channel now because

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,320
there's no hope for you um specifications here we go 2.1 5.7 in

18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:23,079
Satellite speakers we've got a 13.8 in subwoofer oh no hold on 13.8 in height

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:29,960
subwoofer with a 6.5 in diameter subwoofer uh driver okay we've got a

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,640
total weight of 8.5 kg output is 150 w

21
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,640
Watts that is 25 watts each to the satellites and 100 watts to the sub and

22
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:41,479
what all do we have here okay here's some specs in terms of how you hook it

23
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:45,600
up so it actually features optical audio

24
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:47,560
input as well as 3.5 mm and RCA so it

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,320
has digital audio input these are digital speakers which is pretty cool

26
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:56,600
here we've got some little buttons so we got 3D mode oh I gave I gave away the

27
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,640
twist okay we'll talk more about 3D mode later don't look at that yet okay then

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,159
we've got the remote control to switch between 3D and music a we're talking

29
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:08,879
about 3D again okay music mode is for High Fidelity music and 3D mode is for

30
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:11,840
3D techn okay for movies and games that's what they're saying okay we'll

31
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,760
talk about it more later more later here let's start getting this opened up

32
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,800
cameraman can go amuse himself by looking at that while I break the seals

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:28,200
on this side of the box and get closer to the actual meat

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,000
and potatoes of this unboxing that is

35
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:35,680
the part where we remov the Box cameraman says stop

36
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:41,599
talking did I break it oh no it's

37
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:44,000
okay that was close okay guys so when

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:50,640
you are opening the rockus be very careful uh we appreciate very much sound

39
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:53,480
science's method of packing the rockus

40
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:58,040
with styr nice thick styrofoam so when you drop your subwoofer by accident it

41
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,120
will actually land on a perfectly shaped piece of Styrofoam that will prevent it

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:07,959
from being damaged so the first thing we find inside the box is the subwoofer

43
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,599
itself so we're going to go ahead and open this guy

44
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:18,360
up there we are oh no we got another

45
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:20,239
there we are so it has a pretty typical

46
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,440
sort of speaker finish on it that is it's very matte black actually feels

47
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:30,760
quite nice and looks very very durable okay just going to flip this

48
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,840
over so you guys can see it better so it's not a very huge subwoofer by any

49
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:38,480
stretch of the imagination and it looks like it actually has a little

50
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,080
instruction sheet attached to it how to use the sound science rocket speaker

51
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:47,920
system so it shows you how to turn it on how to uh do some troubleshooting Stuff

52
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:53,480
how to connect the uh an optical device okay here it comes with okay so there's

53
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:55,439
a connector for the uh control pod okay

54
00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:00,319
so you'll plug that in here uh you've also got uh a three position switch for

55
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:05,120
base level there's your digital optical audio input

56
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:11,680
sorry about that guys then we've got our analog connectors both RCA as well as

57
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,720
3.5 auxiliary then we have our connectors to the speaker so it looks

58
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,959
like we're using standard speaker wire but there's only one way to find out for sure and then we've got an onoff switch

59
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,120
as well as a power cord that is a built-in power cord so then let's have a

60
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:31,720
look at what we've got in terms of accessories so here we have RCA cables

61
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,720
so those are RCA to speaker wire cables

62
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:42,400
really okay okay well we'll have a closer look at that in a minute okay

63
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,160
then we have RCA to headphone jack okay

64
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,639
next we have just headphone jack to headphone jack so this is the one that you're likely to use to connect to your

65
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,600
PC okay then we have the satellite speakers

66
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,400
themselves so we're just going to take out one of them to show you

67
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,479
guys actually we'll take that both okay

68
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:07,160
so there you go it comes with protective film on the front of the

69
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,080
speakers cuz they are quite shiny indeed

70
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,680
there we are very neat very different shape for

71
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,600
these speakers I haven't seen anything like that before

72
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,520
them very stylish looking okay so

73
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,919
there's the other one and then we've got our little

74
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:32,319
control pod so this is how we can switch to between 3D mode music mode okay we've

75
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:38,080
also got a volume control as well as a

76
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:40,759
mute control okay and it looks like that

77
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:47,960
is it for what is included inside the box so the speakers are connected to the

78
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,680
back of the subwoofer right here via

79
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:54,240
this cable so we actually use an RCA

80
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:59,240
connection at the back of the speakers themselves

81
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,120
see and then we use speaker wire to

82
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,520
connect into the subwoofer so you can see here we've

83
00:06:06,039 --> 00:06:12,080
got sorry guys with big items it's

84
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:19,919
always challenging to do a a quick unboxing because here we

85
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:22,120
are aha there okay so here we've got

86
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,160
this labeled white so that'll go ahead and go into the oh really okay well I

87
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,479
guess there's no particular Rhyme or Reason to the labels so you just plug

88
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,520
these in and then you go ahead and plug them into wherever it is that you happen

89
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:42,360
to have them positioned so that can be the left one okay so that's our left

90
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,440
speaker and then we also have a right

91
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:49,199
speaker and that one will plug in like that and go into the other side instead

92
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,280
okay and then all you have to do is plug in your control

93
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,800
pod there we are make sure those are in there nice and good then you plug in

94
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:02,199
your control pod plug in your selected audio input turn it on and enjoy the

95
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:07,319
sound so the 3D mode I've actually seen a demo of it it is pretty cool the way

96
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:12,759
it works is it uses the subtle differences in timing of the delivery of

97
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:14,440
the sound to create a 3D sounding effect

98
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:19,080
out of two speakers so it's kind of similar to how some of the uh some of

99
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:24,879
the headphones that have virtual 3D modes work except this is a desktop

100
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,319
speaker that features that technology so

101
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:32,960
that's pretty much it for the rockus 3D thank you for checking out my

102
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:36,360
unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips I've actually got one

103
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,560
more thing these speakers are made of anodized aluminum and the subwoofer is

104
00:07:38,599 --> 00:07:48,120
an active subwoofer with a passive radiator so there's no annoying fan

105
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:48,120
sound coming out of the

106
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:51,879
subwofer
