Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Altec Lansing 2-PC USB & AC POWERED PORTABLE ( XT2 )
Customer Review: Excellent speakers, good bass, versatility in setup and use
Summary: 5 Stars
I was concerned that such small speakers would sound tinny, lacking any substance, particularly in the lower tones. But they really shine. The bass is wholesome and solid. Just don't expect from these speakers what you would expect from larger PC speakers.
Useful info that is not included in the tech details or description:
1. You can connect this via USB to a standalone USB port for power only, and the provided male-to-male audio cable to your computer's Audio Line-Out jack, and it works like a charm. So if for software/support reasons your USB doesn't provide sound to the speakers, it still works via this option, and you don't need to use the (provided) AC adaptor. In my case, I use a KVM switch with multiple computers, which gets sound to the speakers via such a male-to-male audio cable, from the selected computer. The speakers get power via the USB cable connected to a USB hub that is built-in on my monitor, of all things, with this hub not being connected to any computer. Result: I get sound from any computer on my KVM switch, through one set of speakers, no AC adaptor.
2. There is a set of wall-outlet adaptors included in the (very nice) case. I don't know that the adaptor adjusts to household voltages in foreign countries (that could be 220-240 volts), but the adaptors mount on the AC unit and are interchangeable.
The user manual says the following is included:
"Universal power supply with international plug set"
Which probably means you can plug this into any wall outlet anywhere in the world. You might want to check with their tech-support to be sure (www.alteclansing.com)
The user manual is available in PDF on their site
