00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,080
This is the Corsair SP 22200 2.1 PC

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:12,160
speaker system. This is the little brother to the

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:15,679
SP2500 which I am very very fond of in

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,240
which we actually did a full episode of

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,400
NCIX Tech Tips featuring a guest from

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:23,160
Corsair who came to tell us all about

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,640
the SP2500 which I like. The SP 2200 I

8
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,040
haven't tried so I don't know what I think of it but we are going to at least

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,880
have a look at the specs and the physical appearance today. So

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,680
specifications okay frequency response specs. Now Corsair is all about

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:46,719
reference sound. So that means that they're trying not to color or um or

12
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,360
alter in any way the sound that was intended by the game developer or um

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,920
movie producer or whoever it is that happens to be working on developing

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,719
audio content. So, moving on from there,

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,719
46 watts total power measured via FTC RMS method. So, that means you can

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,920
literally run it at that entire 46 watts for the entire lifetime of the product,

17
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:09,200
days at a time. Probably not the entire lifetime of the product, but days at a

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,680
time, and this will not burn out or distort in any way, shape, or form.

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,360
Subwoofer dimensions are 9.1 in x 9.9 in x 7.1 in. and satellite dimensions.

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Well, obviously we're going to see that because we're going to open this up, but subwoofer is a six-inch sub sidefiring

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,159
ported subwoofer suitable for desk or floor placement. It is 30 watts, which

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,159
leaves us with uh 16 watts, 8 watts each

23
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,640
for the two satellites. So, those are 2 in drivers. We do not have separate

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,479
tweeters on this particular skew. And then there we go. 8 watts per satellite.

25
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:41,840
Okay. Three inputs for maximum flexibility, which we'll see when we

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,840
open it up. Uh, main volume and subwoofer output control dials on the

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:51,520
right satellite package contents. Okay, let's just open this thing

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,280
up. I tire of specifications. Let's just

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,560
open boxes. That's what we do on this channel.

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:03,119
SP2200 speaker system. This appears to be a guide which shows you how to hook

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,640
it up to things including televisions and left speakers and right speakers and

32
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:14,920
iPods and headphones and computers. Sweet. warranty guide, not a

33
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,360
warranty card. This is a guide and it's

34
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:21,440
long. Do not return this product to the store. Return it to Corsair instead. As

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,959
a as a retailer, I appreciate those kinds of warnings because that means we

36
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,480
don't have to deal with it and instead Corsair deals with it. But the reality

37
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:31,680
of it is if you want to, you can return it to us, too, because we're awesome

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,160
like that. And we take care of our customers at NCIX where I work for

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:41,920
anyone who actually doesn't know that by now.

40
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,920
Yeah. Oh, yeah. My shirt, too. Sweet.

41
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,760
Okay. Environmentally friendly paper packaging. Love it. More environmentally

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,280
friendly paper packaging. Love that, too. Next,

43
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,480
we have what appears to be a power cord cuz it's

44
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:02,959
heavy. Yeah. Yeah. There's my power

45
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:05,239
cord. It's heavy. So, that is a uh 17vt

46
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:10,599
2.5 amp power brick. Plus

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,080
cables. Got a subwoofer. See, I'm doing the whole

48
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,599
package contents thing without reading it off the side of the box. I'm just

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:25,840
unpacking stuff. I'm like, "Okay, yeah, we got subwoofer. We got a

50
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,840
cable. We got some boxes. We got some

51
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:34,480
satellites." At least that's how I would say it if I was cool, but I'm

52
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:37,440
not. Satellite speakers. So, we're taking these out. You know what? Give me

53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,280
a sec off camera. I'm going to take all these plastic bags off because they're in my

54
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:48,080
way. Okay, so we got it set up just so that cameraman and I could audition the

55
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:52,319
SP2200s a little bit. So, here at the back you will find all the input

56
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,159
options. So, we've got Okay, first of all, output. So, you output to your left

57
00:03:54,239 --> 00:04:00,879
speaker as well as your right speaker using um like baby's first plug. Look

58
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,280
how huge this thing is. It's like ridiculous. I love it. So, that goes in

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,920
there. And then uh down here is power in. Okay. Then we have an input. So

60
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,599
that's left and right. Just your standard

61
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,840
um standard analog inputs. Okay. And

62
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:22,639
then our other input is actually built right into the back of the right

63
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,080
speaker. So that's your 3 and 12 mm jack

64
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:31,199
right there. So that I'm using for my iPhone. And then the left speaker just

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:36,720
has a wire that runs to the sub. Okay. Next, we have one of these, which I

66
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,880
actually can't fathom what this is for. Oh, yeah, for the auxiliary input at the

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,600
front. So, you have up to three inputs. So, that would be normally, I guess,

68
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,880
what you would use for your iPhone. And then the other one, this guy up here,

69
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:51,600
would go around to the back of your computer if you were smart. Okay. Then, it comes with one of these, so you can

70
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,120
run that to whatever other device you happen to want to run off it.

71
00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:02,639
And oh, there's a Conucks game coming up soon. I just got my notification on my

72
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,280
iPhone. Okay, so here it is. 75 bucks on

73
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,840
sale at NCIX right now. For that price, I'd say the sub especially is a pretty

74
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,880
good value. Uh we played a few different genres of music and we found the the

75
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:20,039
bass quite uh quite compact, for lack of a better word, quite punchy. Uh

76
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,759
definitely better than most sub

77
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:25,600
$100 sub. That was a pun. Most sub $100

78
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:28,440
speaker setups. The satellites were a little bit less impressive, especially

79
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:33,440
when compared to the SP2500s, but you got to bear in mind

80
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,440
that that kit costs at regular price more than double of what this one does

81
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,360
at regular price. So, there are compromises to be made. This one's

82
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,840
definitely better for the spaceconscious consumer because it doesn't take up a

83
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,199
whole lot of room. And I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to say

84
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:52,400
about the SP2200. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more
