The speaker system's satellites feature the Creative DSE design, which enables them to achieve louder and deeper playback even when constrained to a compact housing. This is made possible by separating the port tube into two separate slots and reconstructing them to fit into a tight enclosure. Their space-saving size allows for easy and versatile placement anywhere in the home. The system's largest-in-class, down-firing ported subwoofer delivers impressive bass for that extra oomph in your music. The ON/OFF switch integrated with volume control is conveniently located on the satellite for easy access.
