WEBVTT

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.240
well I'm a little annoyed with myself for not checking how much film I had

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:09.800
before we started shooting this last time so I have already broken some seals

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:13.400
which really gives me a headache cuz I hate breaking seals on something I like

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:17.359
to do all my unboxings in one take however we do have to reattempt this one

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.080
so today I'm having a look at the razor makos as you can well enough imagine

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.320
these are speakers based on how big the box it is and what is unique about these

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:32.640
speakers are a couple of things that are all focused on guess what gaming it's

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.440
razor it's for gaming okay so first things first is the way the speakers are

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:44.680
designed they are firing downward and then you can see the speaker grills are

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.120
actually go around the speakers so what

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:49.920
that means is whether you're sitting close or whether you're sitting to the

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.960
right or to the left of these speakers the positioning is accurate which is so

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:58.960
important if you want to know where a sound is coming from I mean that's

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.680
important to a lot of uh music enthusiasts but it's also very important

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:07.520
to Gamers because that way you know where the footsteps are coming from etc

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.240
etc they are only a 2.1 set so you're not going to have full surround but what

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:15.040
you will have is at least the same degree of accuracy you would get out of

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.759
a set of headphones speaking of headphones one of the other things that

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.600
the speaker set is designed to do very well is output to headphones so we have

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:27.280
an amplified headphone jack on the control Puck itself and you can see this

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.079
is a touch sensitive control Puck we'll show that to you in a minute when I find

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:35.119
it inside but that's particularly important if you're using something like

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:40.960
the PC 350s from Sennheiser these are quite a high impedance headset and high

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.439
impedance means that you need more power to drive it so if you have an amplified

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:49.000
headphone jack it means that you're going to get overall better sound

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:55.320
quality out of it so overall this is a 300 W THX speaker set which is fairly

00:01:52.840 --> 00:02:00.399
unimportant as far as specs go but it's always good to know approximately what

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.680
kind of wattage to expect overall

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:11.560
and something that I have never seen before is this the oh cameraman's

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.360
coughing okay the speaker wires

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:18.200
themselves look like Ethernet cables there's a warning on here do not insert

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.280
the speaker cables into an Ethernet

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:22.519
landport and I hope you're not dying

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.840
back there

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:35.360
okay I've been giving the thumbs up and so these are your speaker cables

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:38.280
next inside we have another warning do

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.480
not connect this wire to a monitor or PC graphics Port so this is a VGA port

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:47.319
however what we're going to find on the other side of it is with a nice little

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.080
rubber base here is the control Puck so

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:54.280
it comes with a little plastic cover on it which I've gone and ripped I'm going

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:58.720
to try and get the whole thing off here but we've got all of our basic controls

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:04.040
on the top so you've got your line one line two mute base and volume and the

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.560
volume indicator is I believe here based on the picture we already saw nice

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:12.560
rubberized razor logo there's your

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.480
headphones and your line in okay so uh

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.400
the next cable we're going to find is just a standard power cable okay so

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:25.159
there's nothing particularly exceptional about that just a three prong power plug

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:31.040
cable oh two prong two prom okay and then the next thing we find is

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:37.799
um a 3 and half mil to 3 and a half mil plug so I guess we'll figure out what

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:42.439
that's for later all right so let's get down to the speakers themselves so

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:48.319
inside the protective foam which is quite thick no no thinner than about an

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.439
inch on any side we will find the

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:54.840
subwoofer and the two Satellite speakers

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:56.159
so let's see here we've got uh I don't

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.120
know what this is some kind of documentation so maybe we'll have a look

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:06.599
at that before we actually get to the speakers themselves and the main one

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.519
here is the make Master guide okay so

00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:13.360
this is in a few different languages shows you how to set up your makos gives

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:18.400
you some guidelines for the positioning um relative to each other on the table

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:23.800
connect it how to connect them and what you can connect them to

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:29.039
then it moves on to different languages also inside here you will find a couple

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:34.320
razor stickers okay I believe these are UV reactor as well which is kind of cool

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:39.280
as well as a short introductory booklet okay so this explains the technology

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:42.720
that's used in the mo as well as how to

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.000
operate them briefly okay so let's get

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.759
to a satellite first they're not actually all that heavy I was kind of

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:52.680
expecting them to be a little bit heavier based on the looks of these

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:57.479
speakers but um yeah I guess they've got a little bit of heft to them but they're

00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:00.639
not too heavy okay so here's our THX logo right on the front of the speaker

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:05.320
and then on the front of the speaker there's

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:09.360
a little bit more of a grill here but you can see that the grill actually goes

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.800
the main one goes all the way around the speaker here's that Ethernet Jack I mean

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:19.840
one thing I don't like about this is it means that you can't substitute any

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:22.039
other cable for it so it's kind of an

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:25.080
odd design decision but I mean the cables that are included look reasonably

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.120
long so it's not really something to worry about too much we've got a razor

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.360
logo on the top and that is the satellite itself it's kind of a

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:38.479
different looking speaker but I like that um very very stylish looking so

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:43.600
let's pull out the sub itself now I've owned a fair number of PC speakers in my

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:50.720
uh in my day including the clips promedia Ultra 51s I had some creative H

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:52.840
what were they the s700 at one point and

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.039
so I've seen some pretty big PC Subs this is not one of them this is a a

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:03.639
fairly modest sub this is about what you'd expect for a highend to 2.1 system

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:09.080
so let me see here is where you will find most of the business end of this

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:14.720
particular system so there you go that line one that cable I saw before that's

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:17.000
for plugging into your PC sound card duh

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.440
okay here's the cable port for the control pod here is oh this is kind of

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:24.560
nice so the line one line two means you can have two separate inputs plugged in

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:28.440
at the same time so it's just a right left for something like a DVD player or

00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:33.240
a console might be something you want to plug in okay there's your right and left

00:06:30.599 --> 00:06:37.199
speaker outputs your onoff switch and then your power in so as with the

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:44.280
speaker itself and I don't know if the camera can see this but you can see right through it so the speaker itself

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:45.800
is housed and pointing down from the top

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:51.400
okay and then you can see right through the grill that once again goes all the

00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:54.759
way around the speaker there's a few rub there's a razor logo on the top oh it's

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.240
quite heavy now that I'm actually holding it for a while it felt light to

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.319
start with and then at the bottom there's three rubber feet so thank you

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:07.280
for checking out my unboxing and product overview of the Razer moo speakers
