This is the Corsair SP 22200 2.1 PC
speaker system. This is the little brother to the
SP2500 which I am very very fond of in
which we actually did a full episode of
NCIX Tech Tips featuring a guest from
Corsair who came to tell us all about
the SP2500 which I like. The SP 2200 I
haven't tried so I don't know what I think of it but we are going to at least
have a look at the specs and the physical appearance today. So
specifications okay frequency response specs. Now Corsair is all about
reference sound. So that means that they're trying not to color or um or
alter in any way the sound that was intended by the game developer or um
movie producer or whoever it is that happens to be working on developing
audio content. So, moving on from there,
46 watts total power measured via FTC RMS method. So, that means you can
literally run it at that entire 46 watts for the entire lifetime of the product,
days at a time. Probably not the entire lifetime of the product, but days at a
time, and this will not burn out or distort in any way, shape, or form.
Subwoofer dimensions are 9.1 in x 9.9 in x 7.1 in. and satellite dimensions.
Well, obviously we're going to see that because we're going to open this up, but subwoofer is a six-inch sub sidefiring
ported subwoofer suitable for desk or floor placement. It is 30 watts, which
leaves us with uh 16 watts, 8 watts each
for the two satellites. So, those are 2 in drivers. We do not have separate
tweeters on this particular skew. And then there we go. 8 watts per satellite.
Okay. Three inputs for maximum flexibility, which we'll see when we
open it up. Uh, main volume and subwoofer output control dials on the
right satellite package contents. Okay, let's just open this thing
up. I tire of specifications. Let's just
open boxes. That's what we do on this channel.
SP2200 speaker system. This appears to be a guide which shows you how to hook
it up to things including televisions and left speakers and right speakers and
iPods and headphones and computers. Sweet. warranty guide, not a
warranty card. This is a guide and it's
long. Do not return this product to the store. Return it to Corsair instead. As
a as a retailer, I appreciate those kinds of warnings because that means we
don't have to deal with it and instead Corsair deals with it. But the reality
of it is if you want to, you can return it to us, too, because we're awesome
like that. And we take care of our customers at NCIX where I work for
anyone who actually doesn't know that by now.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. My shirt, too. Sweet.
Okay. Environmentally friendly paper packaging. Love it. More environmentally
friendly paper packaging. Love that, too. Next,
we have what appears to be a power cord cuz it's
heavy. Yeah. Yeah. There's my power
cord. It's heavy. So, that is a uh 17vt
2.5 amp power brick. Plus
cables. Got a subwoofer. See, I'm doing the whole
package contents thing without reading it off the side of the box. I'm just
unpacking stuff. I'm like, "Okay, yeah, we got subwoofer. We got a
cable. We got some boxes. We got some
satellites." At least that's how I would say it if I was cool, but I'm
not. Satellite speakers. So, we're taking these out. You know what? Give me
a sec off camera. I'm going to take all these plastic bags off because they're in my
way. Okay, so we got it set up just so that cameraman and I could audition the
SP2200s a little bit. So, here at the back you will find all the input
options. So, we've got Okay, first of all, output. So, you output to your left
speaker as well as your right speaker using um like baby's first plug. Look
how huge this thing is. It's like ridiculous. I love it. So, that goes in
there. And then uh down here is power in. Okay. Then we have an input. So
that's left and right. Just your standard
um standard analog inputs. Okay. And
then our other input is actually built right into the back of the right
speaker. So that's your 3 and 12 mm jack
right there. So that I'm using for my iPhone. And then the left speaker just
has a wire that runs to the sub. Okay. Next, we have one of these, which I
actually can't fathom what this is for. Oh, yeah, for the auxiliary input at the
front. So, you have up to three inputs. So, that would be normally, I guess,
what you would use for your iPhone. And then the other one, this guy up here,
would go around to the back of your computer if you were smart. Okay. Then, it comes with one of these, so you can
run that to whatever other device you happen to want to run off it.
And oh, there's a Conucks game coming up soon. I just got my notification on my
iPhone. Okay, so here it is. 75 bucks on
sale at NCIX right now. For that price, I'd say the sub especially is a pretty
good value. Uh we played a few different genres of music and we found the the
bass quite uh quite compact, for lack of a better word, quite punchy. Uh
definitely better than most sub
$100 sub. That was a pun. Most sub $100
speaker setups. The satellites were a little bit less impressive, especially
when compared to the SP2500s, but you got to bear in mind
that that kit costs at regular price more than double of what this one does
at regular price. So, there are compromises to be made. This one's
definitely better for the spaceconscious consumer because it doesn't take up a
whole lot of room. And I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to say
about the SP2200. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more
