well I'm a little annoyed with myself for not checking how much film I had
before we started shooting this last time so I have already broken some seals
which really gives me a headache cuz I hate breaking seals on something I like
to do all my unboxings in one take however we do have to reattempt this one
so today I'm having a look at the razor makos as you can well enough imagine
these are speakers based on how big the box it is and what is unique about these
speakers are a couple of things that are all focused on guess what gaming it's
razor it's for gaming okay so first things first is the way the speakers are
designed they are firing downward and then you can see the speaker grills are
actually go around the speakers so what
that means is whether you're sitting close or whether you're sitting to the
right or to the left of these speakers the positioning is accurate which is so
important if you want to know where a sound is coming from I mean that's
important to a lot of uh music enthusiasts but it's also very important
to Gamers because that way you know where the footsteps are coming from etc
etc they are only a 2.1 set so you're not going to have full surround but what
you will have is at least the same degree of accuracy you would get out of
a set of headphones speaking of headphones one of the other things that
the speaker set is designed to do very well is output to headphones so we have
an amplified headphone jack on the control Puck itself and you can see this
is a touch sensitive control Puck we'll show that to you in a minute when I find
it inside but that's particularly important if you're using something like
the PC 350s from Sennheiser these are quite a high impedance headset and high
impedance means that you need more power to drive it so if you have an amplified
headphone jack it means that you're going to get overall better sound
quality out of it so overall this is a 300 W THX speaker set which is fairly
unimportant as far as specs go but it's always good to know approximately what
kind of wattage to expect overall
and something that I have never seen before is this the oh cameraman's
coughing okay the speaker wires
themselves look like Ethernet cables there's a warning on here do not insert
the speaker cables into an Ethernet
landport and I hope you're not dying
back there
okay I've been giving the thumbs up and so these are your speaker cables
next inside we have another warning do
not connect this wire to a monitor or PC graphics Port so this is a VGA port
however what we're going to find on the other side of it is with a nice little
rubber base here is the control Puck so
it comes with a little plastic cover on it which I've gone and ripped I'm going
to try and get the whole thing off here but we've got all of our basic controls
on the top so you've got your line one line two mute base and volume and the
volume indicator is I believe here based on the picture we already saw nice
rubberized razor logo there's your
headphones and your line in okay so uh
the next cable we're going to find is just a standard power cable okay so
there's nothing particularly exceptional about that just a three prong power plug
cable oh two prong two prom okay and then the next thing we find is
um a 3 and half mil to 3 and a half mil plug so I guess we'll figure out what
that's for later all right so let's get down to the speakers themselves so
inside the protective foam which is quite thick no no thinner than about an
inch on any side we will find the
subwoofer and the two Satellite speakers
so let's see here we've got uh I don't
know what this is some kind of documentation so maybe we'll have a look
at that before we actually get to the speakers themselves and the main one
here is the make Master guide okay so
this is in a few different languages shows you how to set up your makos gives
you some guidelines for the positioning um relative to each other on the table
connect it how to connect them and what you can connect them to
then it moves on to different languages also inside here you will find a couple
razor stickers okay I believe these are UV reactor as well which is kind of cool
as well as a short introductory booklet okay so this explains the technology
that's used in the mo as well as how to
operate them briefly okay so let's get
to a satellite first they're not actually all that heavy I was kind of
expecting them to be a little bit heavier based on the looks of these
speakers but um yeah I guess they've got a little bit of heft to them but they're
not too heavy okay so here's our THX logo right on the front of the speaker
and then on the front of the speaker there's
a little bit more of a grill here but you can see that the grill actually goes
the main one goes all the way around the speaker here's that Ethernet Jack I mean
one thing I don't like about this is it means that you can't substitute any
other cable for it so it's kind of an
odd design decision but I mean the cables that are included look reasonably
long so it's not really something to worry about too much we've got a razor
logo on the top and that is the satellite itself it's kind of a
different looking speaker but I like that um very very stylish looking so
let's pull out the sub itself now I've owned a fair number of PC speakers in my
uh in my day including the clips promedia Ultra 51s I had some creative H
what were they the s700 at one point and
so I've seen some pretty big PC Subs this is not one of them this is a a
fairly modest sub this is about what you'd expect for a highend to 2.1 system
so let me see here is where you will find most of the business end of this
particular system so there you go that line one that cable I saw before that's
for plugging into your PC sound card duh
okay here's the cable port for the control pod here is oh this is kind of
nice so the line one line two means you can have two separate inputs plugged in
at the same time so it's just a right left for something like a DVD player or
a console might be something you want to plug in okay there's your right and left
speaker outputs your onoff switch and then your power in so as with the
speaker itself and I don't know if the camera can see this but you can see right through it so the speaker itself
is housed and pointing down from the top
okay and then you can see right through the grill that once again goes all the
way around the speaker there's a few rub there's a razor logo on the top oh it's
quite heavy now that I'm actually holding it for a while it felt light to
start with and then at the bottom there's three rubber feet so thank you
