Hello I want to know these speakers you are describing are they the best on the market that are accessible to us or is there sonie ones and creative labs ones as well I am just trying to find out everyone's opinion on here about speakers before purchasing them.

Okay, as I remember here's what's in the Altec Lansing Expressions Ultra Box apart from mounds of packing which is absolute proof that us humans are descended from apes<smile>.

2 satellite 2-way speakers
1 Sub-Woofer
1 control panel
1 3.5MM-3.5MM jack lead
1 manual
1 3.5MM socket to 2 RCA jack adapter

To the control panel, its round and consists of a number of controls.

As you'll see it looks like a mini witches hat, the hat itself turns in either direction, you'll hear or feel it click as you turn it, each time it clicks the faster the control.

For example by default the knob controls the volume, turn it to the first click clockwise and the volume increases slowly, turn to the next click and volume increase is more rapid and so on.

On the top of the controller are 3 buttons, 2 which are big and a middle button which is small.

The upper of the 2 big buttons is your treble, press once and then turn the knob to adjust treble.

The lower button is your bass, press once and then turn knob to adjust base.

The smaller button in the middle is your "power" button, press once to turn power on and press again to turn power off.

This button has another default, if held down for 3 seconds the speakers are reset to their default volume, bass and treble settings.

Now their could be more options and settings I don't know about, I mentioned that the manual isn't the readable type so everything I've mentioned here I've found out by playing around with the system.

I did get the speakers and love them. I do need to get someone
sighted here because I basically know where the buttons are to change from treble to base to mids but not exactly sure the difference between the mid and the base. I can only tell two grooves so it looks like only two buttons
to me. Also does anyone have a list of exactly what comes with it? I am
paranoid. There is a little piece that looks like a splitter for input but
it is odd that it doesn't connect to a male piece. Do you need an extra
corde like the one that goes from the control to the pc to go from the
splitter to the controller? Also I am not finding the power button on the
sub woofer itself.

Yeah, the alternative source input did strike me too! if it is then I can find a way to switch to the thing, problem with the Altec Lansing manuals is that they're very graphic and I can understand that, after all when dealing with things like these speakers its probably much easier to show pictures of how to connect and install rather than ramble on about the connection and
installation process, they're not too difficult to figure out anyway.

Now on another aspect of this speaker system, I found a page on the Net
which lists the actual specs of the system so if anyone's interested I'll
post to the list.

I don't have the speakers, but could it be simply an addition source
input? What about an alternative method of wiring the speakers or daisy
chainging another set?

Hi!

Did anyone else on the list end up getting this speaker system? I have it
here and I have 1 question, between all the sockets for the speakers and
control panel on the back of the sub-woofer is a small 3.5MM jack socket,
anyone know what this is supposed to be for?
