this is the sound science rocket 3D this
is a 2.1 speaker system with a Twist
okay so let's start with the outside of the box and then I'll get into a little
bit more detail about what is unique about the rockus so here oh we actually
find absolutely no information whatsoever okay moving around to the
other side we will find absolutely no information whatsoever except for a
small sticker that says it is the sound
science rocket so I'm going to go ahead get my knife out here and let's get this
baby open and show you guys what is going down in plain empty cardboard box
town and last one there we are ah we
have a retail box in there I could have actually started the unboxing with the
proper retail box rather than this well I didn't know cameraman's giving me that
look it's like how was I supposed to
know okay there we go now we're going to learn about features and basically what
it looks like so it's a speaker system okay if a 2.1 didn't give that away
before then uh you might as well unsubscribe to the channel now because
there's no hope for you um specifications here we go 2.1 5.7 in
Satellite speakers we've got a 13.8 in subwoofer oh no hold on 13.8 in height
subwoofer with a 6.5 in diameter subwoofer uh driver okay we've got a
total weight of 8.5 kg output is 150 w
Watts that is 25 watts each to the satellites and 100 watts to the sub and
what all do we have here okay here's some specs in terms of how you hook it
up so it actually features optical audio
input as well as 3.5 mm and RCA so it
has digital audio input these are digital speakers which is pretty cool
here we've got some little buttons so we got 3D mode oh I gave I gave away the
twist okay we'll talk more about 3D mode later don't look at that yet okay then
we've got the remote control to switch between 3D and music a we're talking
about 3D again okay music mode is for High Fidelity music and 3D mode is for
3D techn okay for movies and games that's what they're saying okay we'll
talk about it more later more later here let's start getting this opened up
cameraman can go amuse himself by looking at that while I break the seals
on this side of the box and get closer to the actual meat
and potatoes of this unboxing that is
the part where we remov the Box cameraman says stop
talking did I break it oh no it's
okay that was close okay guys so when
you are opening the rockus be very careful uh we appreciate very much sound
science's method of packing the rockus
with styr nice thick styrofoam so when you drop your subwoofer by accident it
will actually land on a perfectly shaped piece of Styrofoam that will prevent it
from being damaged so the first thing we find inside the box is the subwoofer
itself so we're going to go ahead and open this guy
up there we are oh no we got another
there we are so it has a pretty typical
sort of speaker finish on it that is it's very matte black actually feels
quite nice and looks very very durable okay just going to flip this
over so you guys can see it better so it's not a very huge subwoofer by any
stretch of the imagination and it looks like it actually has a little
instruction sheet attached to it how to use the sound science rocket speaker
system so it shows you how to turn it on how to uh do some troubleshooting Stuff
how to connect the uh an optical device okay here it comes with okay so there's
a connector for the uh control pod okay
so you'll plug that in here uh you've also got uh a three position switch for
base level there's your digital optical audio input
sorry about that guys then we've got our analog connectors both RCA as well as
3.5 auxiliary then we have our connectors to the speaker so it looks
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
as well as a power cord that is a built-in power cord so then let's have a
look at what we've got in terms of accessories so here we have RCA cables
so those are RCA to speaker wire cables
really okay okay well we'll have a closer look at that in a minute okay
then we have RCA to headphone jack okay
next we have just headphone jack to headphone jack so this is the one that you're likely to use to connect to your
PC okay then we have the satellite speakers
themselves so we're just going to take out one of them to show you
guys actually we'll take that both okay
so there you go it comes with protective film on the front of the
speakers cuz they are quite shiny indeed
there we are very neat very different shape for
these speakers I haven't seen anything like that before
them very stylish looking okay so
there's the other one and then we've got our little
control pod so this is how we can switch to between 3D mode music mode okay we've
also got a volume control as well as a
mute control okay and it looks like that
is it for what is included inside the box so the speakers are connected to the
back of the subwoofer right here via
this cable so we actually use an RCA
connection at the back of the speakers themselves
see and then we use speaker wire to
connect into the subwoofer so you can see here we've
got sorry guys with big items it's
always challenging to do a a quick unboxing because here we
are aha there okay so here we've got
this labeled white so that'll go ahead and go into the oh really okay well I
guess there's no particular Rhyme or Reason to the labels so you just plug
these in and then you go ahead and plug them into wherever it is that you happen
to have them positioned so that can be the left one okay so that's our left
speaker and then we also have a right
speaker and that one will plug in like that and go into the other side instead
okay and then all you have to do is plug in your control
pod there we are make sure those are in there nice and good then you plug in
your control pod plug in your selected audio input turn it on and enjoy the
sound so the 3D mode I've actually seen a demo of it it is pretty cool the way
it works is it uses the subtle differences in timing of the delivery of
the sound to create a 3D sounding effect
out of two speakers so it's kind of similar to how some of the uh some of
the headphones that have virtual 3D modes work except this is a desktop
speaker that features that technology so
that's pretty much it for the rockus 3D thank you for checking out my
unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips I've actually got one
more thing these speakers are made of anodized aluminum and the subwoofer is
an active subwoofer with a passive radiator so there's no annoying fan
sound coming out of the
subwofer
