The QUB Works Desktop 2.1 PC Bluetooth Sound System offers a premium audio experience for your computer setup. This system comprises 3-watt speakers designed to deliver clear sound and can be conveniently placed on your desk or shelves without taking up excessive space. It's engineered for ease of use and aims to provide an immersive listening experience for various applications, from music playback to general computer audio.

Function Description

The QUB Works Desktop 2.1 PC Bluetooth Sound System is a versatile audio solution designed to enhance your computer's sound output. It functions as a 2.1 channel speaker system, meaning it includes two satellite speakers for stereo sound and a dedicated subwoofer for rich, deep bass. This configuration ensures a balanced audio profile, with clear highs, detailed mids, and impactful lows, making it suitable for a wide range of audio content, including music, movies, and games.

The primary function of this system is to reproduce audio from your computer or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. It offers dual connectivity options: a wired connection via USB and an auxiliary cable, and a wireless connection via Bluetooth. This flexibility allows you to connect to your computer for a stable wired audio experience while also providing the convenience of streaming audio wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device.

For wired connectivity, the system utilizes a USB cable to draw power from your computer and an auxiliary cable to receive the audio signal. This setup ensures a direct and reliable audio transmission, minimizing latency and potential interference. The USB power feature means you don't need an additional power adapter, simplifying cable management and making the system more portable.

The Bluetooth functionality allows for seamless wireless audio streaming. Once paired with a Bluetooth device, the speakers can play, pause, and skip tracks directly from your connected device, offering a hands-free and clutter-free listening experience. The system is designed to emit a clear tone when a successful Bluetooth connection is established, providing immediate feedback to the user.

The subwoofer, which is recommended to be placed on the ground for optimal bass resonance, handles the low-frequency sounds, adding depth and impact to your audio. The satellite speakers, ideal for desktop or shelf placement, deliver the mid and high frequencies, ensuring vocal clarity and instrument detail. This separation of frequencies across different speaker units results in a more dynamic and engaging soundstage.

Volume control is conveniently located on the speakers themselves, featuring a wheel dial that allows for easy and precise adjustment of the audio output. This intuitive control ensures that you can quickly fine-tune the sound level to your preference without needing to interact with your computer's software volume controls.

Usage Features

The QUB Works Desktop 2.1 PC Bluetooth Sound System is designed with user convenience in mind, offering several features that enhance its usability.

• Easy Setup: Installation is straightforward. Users simply connect the speaker cables to the subwoofer's output port, plug the USB cable into a computer's USB port for power, and connect the auxiliary cable to the computer's audio input. For Bluetooth, pairing is initiated through the device's Bluetooth manager, selecting "QUB60016" from the available options.
• Intuitive Controls: The system features a simple "On" button located on the back of the subwoofer for power control. Volume adjustment is managed via a convenient wheel dial on the speakers, allowing for quick and precise sound level changes.

• Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, general electronic device cleaning practices apply: use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish. Ensure the device is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Storage: If the speakers are to be stored for an extended period, it's advisable to keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
• Cable Management: While not strictly maintenance, proper cable management can prevent strain on the connections and reduce the risk of accidental disconnections or damage to the ports.
