WEBVTT

00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:07.919
this is the sound science rocket 3D this

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:09.840
is a 2.1 speaker system with a Twist

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

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.720
bit more detail about what is unique about the rockus so here oh we actually

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.320
find absolutely no information whatsoever okay moving around to the

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:28.000
other side we will find absolutely no information whatsoever except for a

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.759
small sticker that says it is the sound

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

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:39.200
baby open and show you guys what is going down in plain empty cardboard box

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:46.360
town and last one there we are ah we

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.559
have a retail box in there I could have actually started the unboxing with the

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:55.600
proper retail box rather than this well I didn't know cameraman's giving me that

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:58.320
look it's like how was I supposed to

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:03.719
know okay there we go now we're going to learn about features and basically what

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

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:11.560
before then uh you might as well unsubscribe to the channel now because

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.320
there's no hope for you um specifications here we go 2.1 5.7 in

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

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:29.960
subwoofer with a 6.5 in diameter subwoofer uh driver okay we've got a

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.640
total weight of 8.5 kg output is 150 w

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:36.640
Watts that is 25 watts each to the satellites and 100 watts to the sub and

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

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.600
up so it actually features optical audio

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:47.560
input as well as 3.5 mm and RCA so it

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:52.320
has digital audio input these are digital speakers which is pretty cool

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

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

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.159
we've got the remote control to switch between 3D and music a we're talking

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.879
about 3D again okay music mode is for High Fidelity music and 3D mode is for

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:11.840
3D techn okay for movies and games that's what they're saying okay we'll

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.760
talk about it more later more later here let's start getting this opened up

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.800
cameraman can go amuse himself by looking at that while I break the seals

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:28.200
on this side of the box and get closer to the actual meat

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.000
and potatoes of this unboxing that is

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:35.680
the part where we remov the Box cameraman says stop

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:41.599
talking did I break it oh no it's

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:44.000
okay that was close okay guys so when

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:50.640
you are opening the rockus be very careful uh we appreciate very much sound

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.480
science's method of packing the rockus

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:58.040
with styr nice thick styrofoam so when you drop your subwoofer by accident it

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.120
will actually land on a perfectly shaped piece of Styrofoam that will prevent it

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:07.959
from being damaged so the first thing we find inside the box is the subwoofer

00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:10.599
itself so we're going to go ahead and open this guy

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:18.360
up there we are oh no we got another

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:20.239
there we are so it has a pretty typical

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.440
sort of speaker finish on it that is it's very matte black actually feels

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:30.760
quite nice and looks very very durable okay just going to flip this

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

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:38.480
stretch of the imagination and it looks like it actually has a little

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.080
instruction sheet attached to it how to use the sound science rocket speaker

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

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

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.439
a connector for the uh control pod okay

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

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:05.120
base level there's your digital optical audio input

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:11.680
sorry about that guys then we've got our analog connectors both RCA as well as

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:14.720
3.5 auxiliary then we have our connectors to the speaker so it looks

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

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

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:31.720
look at what we've got in terms of accessories so here we have RCA cables

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.720
so those are RCA to speaker wire cables

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:42.400
really okay okay well we'll have a closer look at that in a minute okay

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.160
then we have RCA to headphone jack okay

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

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:53.600
PC okay then we have the satellite speakers

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:59.400
themselves so we're just going to take out one of them to show you

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:01.479
guys actually we'll take that both okay

00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:07.160
so there you go it comes with protective film on the front of the

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.080
speakers cuz they are quite shiny indeed

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:12.680
there we are very neat very different shape for

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:15.600
these speakers I haven't seen anything like that before

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:21.520
them very stylish looking okay so

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.919
there's the other one and then we've got our little

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

00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:38.080
also got a volume control as well as a

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:40.759
mute control okay and it looks like that

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:47.960
is it for what is included inside the box so the speakers are connected to the

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.680
back of the subwoofer right here via

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:54.240
this cable so we actually use an RCA

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:59.240
connection at the back of the speakers themselves

00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:02.120
see and then we use speaker wire to

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.520
connect into the subwoofer so you can see here we've

00:06:06.039 --> 00:06:12.080
got sorry guys with big items it's

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:19.919
always challenging to do a a quick unboxing because here we

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:22.120
are aha there okay so here we've got

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

00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:30.479
guess there's no particular Rhyme or Reason to the labels so you just plug

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

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

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:44.440
speaker and then we also have a right

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:49.199
speaker and that one will plug in like that and go into the other side instead

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.280
okay and then all you have to do is plug in your control

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

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:02.199
your control pod plug in your selected audio input turn it on and enjoy the

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

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:12.759
it works is it uses the subtle differences in timing of the delivery of

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:14.440
the sound to create a 3D sounding effect

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

00:07:16.840 --> 00:07:24.879
the headphones that have virtual 3D modes work except this is a desktop

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.319
speaker that features that technology so

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:32.960
that's pretty much it for the rockus 3D thank you for checking out my

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.360
unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips I've actually got one

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.560
more thing these speakers are made of anodized aluminum and the subwoofer is

00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:48.120
an active subwoofer with a passive radiator so there's no annoying fan

00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:48.120
sound coming out of the

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.879
