Soundworks fps2000: Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital Speakers

The Bad

Well I can’t think
of many bad things about this set of speaker. It’s Good … real good
in fact. However there are a couple of things I’d like to mention
is that the speakers are meant for PCs inside a room. They don’t sound
that great in a large open area. When I was at A-Zone and heard the
display set I was not that impressed with it, as the surrounding area
was pretty huge. However, after bringing it home, man, did my impression
change. However, I’d like to note that the even though the Sub Woofer
was about 1.5 times more powerful than the PC Works, FPS 1000 and
the Desktop 5.1, it could have been better. I feel that at times the
feeling is not strong enough unless you adjust the Sub-Woofer volume.
Ah yes, not to mention the volume control for the sub woofer volume
control is located at the side of the Woofer where all the cables
are connected too. It is a real pain in the butt (actually pain in
the head) as I kept hitting my head on the table top to reach the
control. They should have place the volume control on the remote volume
control stick too. Overall, most would find that the sub woofer would
be more than sufficient.

Another thing
that disappointed me was the lack of an equalizer control. The Desktop
5.1 had some pretty nifty external box controls while the FPS 2000
had only a volume and Front/Rear balance control. It would be great
if Creative could add a Treble, Bass and other controls to the external
controller.

Back
to top

This is really
a good set of speakers for the PC, if not one of the finest. It carries
good sound and provide good warm bass while still maintaining the
quality and clarity of the output. It’s fantastic for games and watching
movies off your PC in a room. For the price of slightly over $300,
it is well worth every cent spent. If you have the budget for it then
go for it especially if you own the Sound Blaster Live.

Inspecting
For Damage
Examine each speaker unit carefully
for signs of shipping damage. If there
is any damage, do not install the
system.
If there is any problem, or if
anything is missing, call the store
where the system was purchased
or refer to the “Technical Support”
section on pages 12-13.
Save the carton and its inserts in
case you need to transport your
FPS2000 Digital system later.
Overview
Installation Sequence
The four small satellite speakers of the
FPS2000 Digital are magnetically
shielded. They can be placed next to a
computer monitor.  The subwoofer/
amplifier is not shielded and should
be placed at least 18 inches away from
a computer monitor.
The subwoofer is designed to sit
on the floor beneath a desk, and
sounds best in this position. The
satellites used for the front left and
right channels should flank the
computer monitor. The satellites
used for the rear left and right
channels can be placed on the
desktop, on floor stands, or
attached to other sites (using screws).
1. Read through the instructions
before installing the speakers.
The instructions assume you have
a 4-channel sound card–one that
supports DirectSound®3D and
has separate front and rear stereo
minijack outputs. If your sound
card has a single stereo minijack
line output, please read the note
under “Audio Signal
Connections” on page 7.
2. Place the satellites and the subwoofer at appropriate sites near
your computer. Attach the stands,
if necessary.

4/17/00, 4:09 PM
3. To help you identify each
satellite’s channel, apply the
appropriate preprinted label to
the rear of each satellite. 
4. Connect the four satellites to the
back of the subwoofer enclosure.
Leave all the wires accessible.
5. Connect your sound card
outputs to the subwoofer.
Speaker Placement
6. Connect the Volume Control to
the subwoofer.
7. Connect the power supply
adapter.
8. Listen to the system and adjust
the Bass Level control for
pleasing bass output.
9. You may wish to experiment
with satellite placement briefly
before concealing the connecting
wires and making the
installation more permanent.
A
The Front Satellites
The front left and right satellites
should be placed to the sides of the
monitor. Install the desktop stands
if placing the satellites on the
desktop.
The Rear Satellites
If you are lucky enough to have
side walls close to your listening
position, excellent placement for the
rear left and right satellites is
behind your listening position,
slightly above ear level (use a screw
to hang each satellite, see diagram
A). Do not be concerned if this is
not practical, since any rear satellite
B
placement behind or to the side of
the listening position will provide
strong directional and surround
effects. 
The rear satellites may be
installed on their convenient floor
stands. The stands should be
positioned behind your listening
position and aimed at the listener.
The stands are small enough to be
stowed underneath or alongside a
desk when not in use
(see diagram B).
If none of these locations are
practical, the rear satellites may be
placed in convenient sites alongside
the listener, including sites slightly
forward of the listening location.
C
The rear satellites do not have to be
at the same height, or at the same
height as the front sat-ellites. Try
the extreme corners of a desk using
the desktop stands (C) or attach the
rear satellites under a desktop or at
the sides of a desk using the hook &
loop fasteners (D).
The Subwoofer
The subwoofer’s optimum position
is on the floor against the wall. The
closer the subwoofer is to a corner,
the stronger the maximum bass
output. Position the subwoofer
so that its connection panel is
facing a wall, shielded from inadvertent contact.

Satellite Connections
Typically, the 3 meter speaker
cables will connect the front
satellites to the subwoofer and the
5 meter cables will connect the
rear satellites to the subwoofer.
A panel of eight self-adhesive
labels is provided to identify each
satellite and the opposite end of
the cable connected to a satellite.
1. Identify the two 3 meter
cables. Most satellites will be
used with their desktop
stands. In this case, thread one
end of a 3 meter cable through
the hole in the desktop stand.
Connect this end to one
satellite, (as shown in diagram
E). If used, carefully insert the
desktop stand’s attachment
arm into the socket in the back
of the satellite, taking up any
slack in the cable as required.
2. Remove the backing from the
small, round “FRONT LEFT”
label and apply it to the back
of the satellite (see diagram E). 
3. Remove the backing from the
remaining, longer “FRONT
LEFT” label and wrap it
around the opposite end of the
speaker cable you just
connected.
4. Connect this end of the speaker
cable to the red and black
“FRONT LEFT” speaker
connectors on the subwoofer.
5. Repeat this process for the
Front Right, Rear Right and
Rear Left satellites. Be sure to
use the remaining 3 meter
cable for the other front
speaker.
E
Diagram E
To connect the speaker wires to the
spring loaded connectors on the
satellite and subwoofer, push back
on a spring-loaded tab to expose the
connection hole. Insert the bare end
of the wire into the exposed hole,
then release the tab to lock the wire
in place.
Connect wires with red bands to
red tab connectors and unmarked
wires to black tab connectors.
Notes: Matching red wires to red
tabs and unmarked wires to black
tabs insures the speakers all play
“in-phase”. “Out of phase”
connections will do no electrical
harm, but the positional audio
sound quality will be greatly
reduced.  You can substitute regular
18 gauge speaker wire to create
longer cables, if needed.

Attaching The Floor Stands
The rear satellites (with their
desktop stands attached) may be
installed in their floor stands.
1. One leg of each floor stand has
a full length slot, with short
notches opposite the slot at
each end. Insert a satellite
cable inside one of these legs
by feeding it down the length
of the full length slot. At each
end, feed the cable through the
short notches (see diagram G).
2. Insert the satellite end of the
leg/cable assembly into the
middle socket of the apex joint.
Make sure the satellite cable
exits through the short notch
and not the full length slot
(see diagram F).
3. Insert the two solid legs into
the outside sockets in the
apex joint.
4. Position the two “cut-away”
sections of the desktop stand
over the opening in the top of
the apex joint, as shown in
diagram F. Be sure to align the
face of the stand with the face
of the apex joint.  Lower the
stand straight down into the
apex joint.
5. Holding the ends of the apex
joint, push on the front of the
desktop stand until it slips back
into the slot in the apex joint.
Confirm a secure fit.
6. At the base of the rear leg,
gently pull on the satellite
cable to remove any
unnecessary slack in the cable.
7. Insert a rubber plug into the
base of each leg, taking care to
feed the cable out the short
notch in the rear leg (see
diagram H).

In most instances, the FPS2000
Digital Master Level Control will
be the most convenient way to
adjust the overall playback level. It
responds instantly and doesn’t
require you to pause games or
programs. But there are other
output level controls present in
software to consider.
Versions of Microsoft® Windows®
and most other operating systems
offer an on-screen sound level
Control, while most game
programs provide yet another one.
For the FPS2000 Digital Master
Level Control to perform at its
best, these “software” level
controls should be set to an
“optimum” position and then left
alone.
Set any software volume
controls to approximately 75% of
their maximum output level. This
should allow the FPS2000 Digital
Master Level Control to achieve
the highest output level desired
when set to its loudest setting. 
If the FPS2000 Digital’s
maximum output is still not
sufficient at the extreme setting of
its Volume Control, try increasing
one, and only one, of the software
volume controls to increase overall
output.
If you find the optimum output
level of the FPS2000 Digital
system occurs at too low a setting
of its Volume Control, reduce the
setting of one software volume
control (preferably the operating
system’s output level control) to
achieve greater control range.
Note: Some software volume
controls may introduce distortion
when set to their maximum level.
Experiment to achieve the cleanest
sound.
Bass Level Control
The output of the subwoofer can
be adjusted to suit the listener’s
taste. Start with the control in the
12 o’clock position (see diagram
N). After using the system for a
couple of hours, adjust the control
up or down to fine-tune it.

Optimizing The Sound
Of Your System
Have a clear line of sight from your
listening position to the satellites. 
This prevents their higher
frequencies from being blocked. It is
not necessary for each satellite to be
aimed directly at the listener.
The relative strength of low-bass
depends on how close the subwoofer
is to intersecting room surfaces. The
most bass output results from the
subwoofer being placed on the floor
in a corner. The least bass output
results with the unit positioned away
from any corners or walls.
Once you have adjusted the Bass
Level Control, leave it in that
position. It should not be used to
compensate for differences in
recordings or games.
Mounting The Satellites
To the wall:
To wall-mount the cubes on
structurally strong surfaces (a wall
stud or wood panelling), screw a
M5 x 25mm screw into the
material. Allow their heads to
protrude about 1/4 inch to fit into
the keyhole slots on the back of
each cube (see diagram O).
The plastic anchors supplied
will be needed to secure the
screws in most wall surfaces.
If so, drill 1/4 inch holes in the
wall, then tap the anchors into
the holes until they are flush
with the wall.  Then screw the
screws into the anchors until
they protrude about 1/4 inch.
Be sure to apply the stick-on
rubber feet to the back of the
satellite cubes. This assures an
acoustically secure installation.

Specifications
Playback Levels
FPS2000 Digital is intended for
individual or small group listening
and will achieve surprisingly high
output levels. However, playing
the system continuously at overly
loud, distorted levels on heavy
bass program material may cause
its internal fuse to blow.
The fuse can be replaced only by
a qualified service representative.
To avoid this inconvenience and a
possible non-warranty repair
charge, reduce the playback
volume when the system shows
obvious signs of stress, i.e. it
sounds “raspy,” “fuzzy,” and/
or “muddy.”

Recommendation for 4.1 (or 5.1?) speaker setup for desktop environment?

mattdm
(Matthew Miller)

So, about twenty years ago, I bought Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital Speakers, and they’ve served me… fairly well. My current computer doesn’t have surround out natively, but I got this $17 thing from Amazon, and that seems to Just Work.

However, there’s two big downsides. First, the subwoofer used a proprietary weird connector which does not seem to exist anymore. So I’m using it as 4.0 rather than 4.1 — and powering the subwoofer for no reason, really.

Second, it’s developed a hum. Power line filters (and the external USB audio device) don’t seem to help. The computer itself is pretty loud with fans, so I don’t need absolute silence, but… it’s definitely louder than I’d like.

So, I’m shopping for a replacement. I see this from Logitech, but… eh, those speakers look big and clunky next to the neat 3.25″ cubes of my current system.

Are there other options in the $2-300 price range I should be looking at? Are there ones which will connect to my computer via USB and remove the need for the separate audio adapter (and still Just Work with Fedora Workstation)?

Alternately… can I keep the satellite speakers and just replace the subwoofer (and maybe add a center channel)? That replacement would also need to drive the speakers…
and again it’d be awesome if that connected by USB and served as the sound device too. Does such a thing exist?

It doesn’t come with speakers though. You’d have to buy some separately.

P.S. You’d have to buy powered speakers with that decoder. It doesn’t put out an amplified signal. Another option might be to buy an amplifier with HDMI pass-through if your PC and monitor use HDMI. The latter is what I do and it looks like you can get such an amplifier for around $90.

This is my current surround-sound setup:

surround-sound4032×3024 2.52 MB

The receiver is a Sony STRDH520 (discontinued).

Edit to add – I just noticed that 5.1 sound doesn’t seem to be listed as an option on my HDMI output since the switch to pipewire. The driver still shows support for 5.1 audio (aplay -L), however, so it might just be that I need to figure out how to configure pipewire properly.

This setup requires a receiver that’s separate from the subwoofer, right? That seems like overkill.

Important: If you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, a browser Security Warning dialog box displays like the one below. You will need to click Run to install the application. We recommend that you save it to your desktop and initiate the free scan using the desktop icon. Should you choose not to save the application, you may simply initiate the free scan by clicking the ‘Run’ button on the File Download Window. Sound Card Troubleshooting Guide A Sound Card Trouble may result to one or more of the following:.

No sound. Distorted sound. Sound card is not recognized by the computer. Problems with audio devices Here are the following troubleshooting steps to perform in order to resolve an issue with a sound card. Check If Your Sound Card and Speakers are Properly Installed Check the Device Manager and see if your sound device is present. If the driver is not present, you may need to install the latest driver. If the device is present, but there is a yellow question mark (?) or exclamation point (!) before its icon, the device driver may need to be reinstalled.

To access the device manager, simply click on Start, right-click on the My Computer icon, and then select Manage. On the computer management window, select Device Manager to see the list of the devices installed on the computer. To go directly to the Device Manager, just click on Start-Run and then on the text field, type in devmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Test the sound on the control panel. To go there, simply click on Start-Control Panel-Sound. Under the sounds tab, you will have an opportunity to test the functionality of your computer’s sound system. Check your sound devices and see if they are properly selected.

Also check the volume and make sure that the controls are not muted. Don’t forget to check the speakers. Make sure it receives power and that its volume is not set to minimum. Check for Possible Software Problems Media Player – See if the player is working correctly. If possible, use another media player and see if the result is the same.

If you did not encounter the same issue with another media or music player, it is very likely that the problem lies with software. Operating System – A lot of factors in the operating system can affect the performance of your sound card. Try to check if there are important or critical updates for your operating system and install them.

If you feel that your computer system needs a quick repair, consider running System File Checker. To access it, simply click on Start-Run and then type sfc/ scannow. Make sure you have the Windows CD inserted in your CDROM drive.

The system would need it during the process. Also, in the course of your troubleshooting, before proceeding to hardware replacement, consider reinstalling the entire computer system first. Sometimes, it is the operating itself and not the hardware that is causing the problem.

If that is so, replacing the sound card or the motherboard will never resolve the issue. You would only lose your precious savings while the sound trouble still persists. Reinstall the Sound Card Driver If you have already reached this step in troubleshooting, we are then somewhat certain that the issue is more likely a hardware problem rather than a software trouble. Driver issue is the most common cause of sound card problems. Make sure you have the latest version of the driver. It’s usually available at the manufacturer’s website.

To reinstall the sound driver, you will need to uninstall the current driver first. Go to the device manager as described in the first step of this troubleshooting guide. Find the device that represents your sound card driver. Right-click on it and click Uninstall. The uninstallation setup will then show up.

Follow the instructions and restart the computer afterward. To install the latest driver, extract the installation files (they are often available in compressed format), and find the executable file. Run the setup process and restart the computer afterward. If this is your first time to reinstall a device driver, or you are unsure of the steps involved in this procedure, consider to automatically scan your pc and update your sound card drivers.

Reseat the Sound Card To reseat the sound card means to remove it from the system and put it back in. Before touching any internal device installed on the computer, make sure to avoid wearing static-inducing clothing and touch a grounded conductor (metals, etc. ) to dissipate static electricity. Also, always turn off your computer, unplug the cord, and remove the battery (for portables). Consult your manufacturer’s documentation for steps in unseating and reseating the sound card.

If the sound controller is integrated to your computer’s motherboard, skip this step and proceed to the next one. After reseating the sound card, restart the computer and see if the problem is still there. If it persists, proceed to the next step.

Test with Another Sound Card in Good Condition Remove the sound card and install a known-good working sound card. If the problem persists, it is highly possible that the issue is a hardware problem. Either there is a problem with the sound card, or in the sound card slot in the motherboard. Replace the Sound Card If sound card replacement did not resolve the issue, it means that the sound card slot is damaged or no longer functional. A motherboard replacement is necessary to fix the problem. In Windows if you are having any of the follwing errors you may need to update your sound card drivers:. You do not hear sound from the computer’s speakers or headphones.

Going online and checking for new drivers all the time can be frustrating and is not an effective use of your time, and a simple tool like the driver installer above can keep all of your hardware running on the optimal drivers with top performance. Sometimes when new hardware is installed, although it works correctly, other hardware which interacts with it may not be, because the other hardware actually needs its own drivers updated. This kind of co-dependency is another common problem and a reason why it’s a great idea to have a tool that is constantly monitoring the state of all of your drivers and updating appropriately so you can upgrade and add or remove components in your computer while continuing to run without a hitch. When your sound & audio is relatively new, it may be possible to download individual drivers directly from Cambridge without incurring additional charges.

Introduction Ever since Creative Labs merged with Henry Kloss’ Cambridge Sound System to manufacture PC speakers, they have since been releasing more powerful speakers for the PC. Their initial releases (e.g. SBS 20) were never the type of speakers that games and music enthusiasts wanted.

When PC works first came out, people generally compared it with Altec Lansing ACS45/44 series. Many would agree the Bass was pretty good but sound was too low and the ACS45 was still the preferred choice to many. The Four Point Surround Sound System was generally a cheap gimmick, which many never actually fell for and Creative probably felt the pinch and seriously needed something to kick off their four-speaker configuration. The other 2 speaker the MicroWorks and SoundWorks were only 2 speaker 1 Subwoofer configuration, both were excellent speakers, especially the MicroWorks but never really found a niche in the gaming/home user world.

The Desktop Theater 5.1 had some pretty good features like AC3 support but most of its speaker/sub came from the PC works family and therefore was not in a class of its own even though the price was otherwise. This time round Creative came out with something pretty outstanding if I should say so myself. THE Four Point Surround Sound 2000 Digital.

I would generally say this is THE set of speaker to pair up with the Sound Blaster Live. It is a digital speaker that accepts signals from a 9 pin digital DIN (not AC3 SPDIF cable) from the digital I/O card. (Finally got to use the Digital card from my SBLive. Whew no waste). However, if you are using the SBLive Value, Monster Sound MX300 or even a 16Bit sound card, you may still use the analog inputs on the FPS 2000. If your sound card supports 4 speaker configuration, that’s great, but however if it does not, well not to worry as the FPS 2000 will split the signal from the front to rear, meaning you’ll have 2 left and 2 right speakers. The satellite speaker from the FPS2000 are fantastic, they are the same type of speakers the Desktop Theater 5.1 used for the front.

The PC Works, FPS 1000 and the Desktop Theater 5.1 uses even smaller satellite speaker. As for the Subwoofer, the FPS 2000 comes with a pretty big Subwoofer at 14′ driving at 25 watts compared to the others driving at only 8 — 10 watts. Obviously the FPS 2000 is technically more powerful than the others (with exception to the MicroWorks). Another cool thing about it is that it’s Black in color and not the Plain-Jane white we see so often. Anyway so much for its physical appearance.

Let’s see how this baby rocks. The Good Features & Benefits FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital consists of four 3′-wide satellite speaker cubes, plus a compact, floor-standing subwoofer cabinet. The four compact satellites create realistic four-channel positional audio while the subwoofer can be positioned on the floor — behind your TV, under your desk, or behind furnitures, out of the way, for best bass response.

Possible placement solutions would be A — Placing the rear speakers on the left and right side of the wall. B — Placing the rear speakers behind the user C — Placing the rear speaker at the edge of a wide table while front speaker next to the monitor D — Place the rear speaker below the table top at each side Note: The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded so it will not cause any interference with other electronic device e.g. However, the Sub Woofer is not and it is advisable to place it further away from other electronic devices, to prevent magnetic interference. The FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital system delivers a carefully fine-tuned stereo sound system, usually produced by expensive home surround stereo systems. It is best suited for the computer PC environment with a small surrounding. 2 top areas where these speakers really impressed me were in the games and movie testing.

They not only sounded good, they actually sound life like. I ran up a few movies to check out the quality of the speaker.

Running the take off scene from Top Gun sounded superb. I jack the volume all the way to 100% and there was simply no distortion and the quality of the sound was still sharp, clear and crisp. (Note the max volume out of my DVD/VCD encoder card was set at 86% though).

Explosions and other sound effects were just as good. The sound driven out from the satellite speaker was very impressive. The Sub Woofer was pretty strong too; anyone within a 5m radius can probably feel the impact coming from the woofer. The sound got even better when I ran my DVD movies. It was exceptionally clear, crisp and sharp. Many would say that AC3 support should be added in, but to me it is quite redundant. AC3/THX sound system are great when played for a large audience in a large theater, but when you are in a room by yourself or with a couple of friends, such a system is unnoticeable.

Since the FPS200 was meant for a small enclosed area, it need not provide such feature. Allowing the SBLive Liveware 2. 0 to set the environment will be more than adequate. I tested the FPS2000 playing Unreal with EAX enable. Unreal is probably one of the best games for testing out your speakers as it sports a lot of features. While playing the game, I deliberately lower the background music to concentrate more on the movement sound. The life likeness of the sound was probably due to my SBLive but the fact that the FPS2000 was able to deliver top clarity audio really impressed me. Each footstep and movement felt like they were coming from different directions and one could easily know where it is coming from.

The rear speaker actually added more atmosphere to the game than ever before. Previously, I was using a Pioneer Dolby Digital Home Entertainment Sound System with a 5 set Philip speaker system along with a Yamaha 25-Watt Sub Woofer. Even though this setup costs more than $800, it was unable to deliver such realism to the game ambience which the FPS200 could. In Need For Speed 3, the engines and screeching sound from the tires were easily heard and the direction of the sound was easily identifiable. The FPS 2000 with a SBLive card and a game that supports EAX is truly wonderful. Aureal could probably gang up with Altec Lansing to give Creative a run for its money but for now I can certainly say that this is the best 3D Sound Solution currently available.

Take advantage of the clear, distortion-free audio by connecting the Digital DIN output of your FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital speakers to the Sound Blaster Live! Digital I/O card.

Just follow these simple steps to unleash the full effect of your digital speakers: 1. Insert one end of the SPDIF cable into the DIGITAL DIN output jack on the Sound Blaster Live! Digital I/O card. The Digital DIN connector is the only connector with the 9-pin configuration. Note: The actual position of the Digital I/O card may differ slightly from this diagram 2.

Insert the other end of the SPDIF cable into the DIGITAL DIN input on the subwoofer. Complete the following steps:. Position your mouse at the top of your screen to activate Creative’s Sound Blaster Live!. Launcher Select ‘Audio HQ’ On the Configuration tabbed page, select the option ‘4 Speakers’.

A sofa icon (representing you) appears in the center of the ‘Preview Box’, with four speakers at the corners of the box. You are now ready to experience 3D digital audio like never before. Note: FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital will detect the presence of a plug connected to the DIGITAL DIN input and give the DIGITAL DIN input priority. Any signal present at the AUDIO INPUT will be ignored. Be sure to remove the plug from the DIGITAL DIN INPUT if you wish to listen to a sound source through the analog AUDIO INPUT. The Sub woofer is pretty big compared to other sub-woofers from Creative. It is made of Solid wood.

This is great as the resonance that the wood produces is very warm and one actually feels it rather than hears it. Plastic generally generates vibration, which sound very cheap.

If you’d notice the yellow label on the sub woofer, it is a heat hazard warning. There are heat sinks for the speakers but running them at about 85% — 75% loud for more than 4 hours playing Star Wars the heat generated was so low that I did not even notice. (Note: The room was Air Conditioned at 23 degree Celsius) The position of the sub woofer was below my table just behind a wall. It is important to note where to position the sub woofer so as to achieve optimal sound. In fact, incorrect placement can lead to annoying sound. I once saw a joker place the sub woofer of his ACS45 on the top shelf of his Sitoca computer table, he kept complaining of headaches.

Thank God Sitoca builds solid table or his table would be shaking every time there is sound. Anyway, I quickly placed it on the floor for him and he immediately heard the difference. A good position to place the sub woofer is on the floor with nothing beneath it and its behind facing a solid wall. The wall will provide a reflecting effect that really enhances the feel of the bass.

Do not crowd anything around the speaker, as this would affect the sound. Above is the external volume controller where you can adjust the balance for the Front and Rear speakers. This is pretty useful if your speakers are situated too far apart.

Many people will face the problem of not being able to place the rear speakers closer than they want to. Now, all you have to do is adjust the balance more to the rear to accommodate for the lost sound. The Bad Well I can’t think of many bad things about this set of speaker. Real good in fact. However there are a couple of things I’d like to mention is that the speakers are meant for PCs inside a room. They don’t sound that great in a large open area. When I was at A-Zone and heard the display set I was not that impressed with it, as the surrounding area was pretty huge.

However, after bringing it home, man, did my impression change. However, I’d like to note that the even though the Sub Woofer was about 1.5 times more powerful than the PC Works, FPS 1000 and the Desktop 5.1, it could have been better.

I feel that at times the feeling is not strong enough unless you adjust the Sub-Woofer volume. Ah yes, not to mention the volume control for the sub woofer volume control is located at the side of the Woofer where all the cables are connected too. It is a real pain in the butt (actually pain in the head) as I kept hitting my head on the table top to reach the control. They should have place the volume control on the remote volume control stick too.

Overall, most would find that the sub woofer would be more than sufficient. Another thing that disappointed me was the lack of an equalizer control. The Desktop 5.1 had some pretty nifty external box controls while the FPS 2000 had only a volume and Front/Rear balance control. It would be great if Creative could add a Treble, Bass and other controls to the external controller. Conclusion This is really a good set of speakers for the PC, if not one of the finest. It carries good sound and provide good warm bass while still maintaining the quality and clarity of the output.

It’s fantastic for games and watching movies off your PC in a room. For the price of slightly over $300, it is well worth every cent spent. If you have the budget for it then go for it especially if you own the Sound Blaster Live.

SoundWorks FPS2000 Digital / Sound and acoustics

3DNews Sound and acoustics Speakers, headphones, audio systems SoundWorks FPS2000 Digital The most interesting news Author: Mukharev Sergey SoundWorks FPS2000 Digital Total power 24 Watts (RMS) Scheme 4+1 Decoder No Price ~100-120$ We have already reviewed various computer acoustics manufactured by Cambridge Soundworks, acquired by Creative Technology several years ago and sold under the Creative brand. The last review looked at the DeskTop Theater DTT2500 Digital system focused on DVD home theater, and now Let’s try the FPS2000 Digital system, which contains almost the same acoustic components as the DTT2500, but does not have the Dolby Digital AC-3 audio decoder unit. As always, in a large and colorful foam box, four small satellite tweeters and a rather massive subwoofer were found. Once again, it is worth noting the concern for the user, because. the kit consists not only of speakers, but also contains many useful little things. All in all, the box contained: Four HF satellites One subwoofer Patch cord set Set of four satellite table stands Two tripods for mounting rear satellites on the floor Bag with labels, foam rubber adhesive pads and Velcro fasteners for fast attachment of satellites to the table External power supply Printed documentation CD-ROM with demo midi files and SoundFont banks for them Creative SoundWorks FPS2000 Digital Specifications Power output Total power 320 Watts (PMPO) / 24 Watts (RMS) Satellite power 7 watts (RMS) each, total 28 watts Subwoofer power 25 Watts (RMS) Output frequency range Subwoofer 30Hz — 150Hz Satellites 65Hz — 20kHz Dimensions, mm. Subwoofer 162(H) x 152(D) x 234(W) Satellites 70(H) x 70(D) x 70(W) Cable length Front satellites 3 m. Rear satellites 5 m. Harmonic distortion 1% Impedance 4ohms Presence of built-in amplifier Yes Supply voltages 15 Volt Color Black Speaker arrangement and connection Structurally, the FPS2000 is made the same as the previously reviewed FPS1000, all speakers are connected to a subwoofer containing a built-in amplifier. The satellites are absolutely identical to the DTT2500 satellites, they have a power of 7 watts, the diameter of the speakers is 2. 5″. The subwoofer has digital and analog four-channel inputs and four satellite outputs. There, on the subwoofer, there is a bass power control, which allows you to smoothly adjust their sound to any room. The volume control is located on the cord coming from the subwoofer. In addition to adjusting the volume, it contains a balance control between the front and rear satellites and can turn the system off and on, and it also contains a system power indicator. This is very convenient, because The regulator can be attached to a table or monitor, keyboard or any other convenient place, so that it is always «at hand». The satellites are magnetically shielded from the speakers so they can be positioned in close proximity to the monitor. FPS2000 can be connected both to the analog outputs of the sound card and to the digital outputs. To connect to the digital outputs, you will need an SB Live! with an external SPDIF connector. For old SB Live! Value that does not contain an external SPDIF, a bracket stub is included that contains a Digital-DIN, signals to which are output from SPDIF_EXT, available on this model. All signals go to the subwoofer amplifier and then go to the satellites. The amplifier and satellite speakers contain spring clips, just like in expensive acoustics. The wires are quite thick, with a cross section of about 1.5 sq. mm. After connecting all the wires, the subwoofer looks like this … When placing more than two speakers, a problem arises — how to place all the speakers, where to attach them, so that there is the same distance from the speakers to the listener, and also so that the wires do not interfere. The speaker manufacturer recommends four placement options. All necessary items are included for fixing: table stands, Velcro for fastening under the tabletop, tripods for rear speakers and even screws with plugs and instructions for attaching to the walls. I chose the last option «d», however, the tripods of the FPS2000 are not as stable as those of the DTT2500 set, but are borrowed from the FPS1000. The subwoofer is recommended to be placed on the floor, in a corner closer to the wall, so that it does not get in the way. Testing Testing took place under the following conditions: Creative Sound Blaster Live! value Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition LiveWare! 3.0 DirectX 8.0 RC0 I always start testing speakers by listening to my favorite songs in MP3 format and on CD-audio. The sound produced by the FPS2000 is very pleasant, and although the speakers are plastic, there is absolutely no plastic shade in the sound, the subwoofer is capable of give out a powerful and rich sound, which is no worse than the sound created by wooden and more bulky counterparts. The sound quality is just as good, if not better, than the more expensive DTT2500. My favorite test of subwoofer capability was Brooklyn Bounce’s bass-heavy songs, the FPS2000 ran great, bass was clear and deep. The subwoofer practically does not wheeze at maximum volume, although it is impossible to listen at this volume for a long time, the neighbors will definitely come running. The sound is also good in games, with powerful bass shaking, and four satellites to increase the orientation of the sound around the listener. It was a pleasure to play games with EAX support — Unreal, Half-Life, F.A.K.K.2, MDK2 received a natural sound picture, rich in various clear and natural sounds. The powerful subwoofer reproduces the hum of the wind in open spaces in Unreal and F.A.K.K.2 and the hum of electronics in MDK2 well. When watching DVD movies with Dolby Digital audio decoding software, the system creates a pretty decent sound picture, but, of course, it does not reach the sound of the DTT2500. Lack of a central channel It is worth noting one feature that is missing from the FPS1000. When the system is connected to a two-channel sound card that does not have a rear output, four speakers will still play, because. when there is no signal at the rear input, automatic duplication of the front signal to the rear speakers. Digital audio The advantage of this system is that it can be connected digitally. What does it give? First of all, the use of a digital interface between the sound card and the speaker system allows you to reduce the noise level compared to standard analog connection via an analog Line-in connector. The cleaner sound is devoid of interference from the electronics present inside the computer case. There is an alternative way to get digital sound, this is using a USB clone containing its own DAC. The use of such speakers eliminates the need for a sound card, but there are a few caveats. The USB bus is processor dependent and when the processor is heavily loaded, the sound is interrupted. Those who use a USB mouse have probably noticed discontinuity in the movement of the cursor after opening / closing the CD-ROM tray, it will also be with the sound on USB speakers. And the possibilities of such a combined system are not very impressive. That is why such USB speakers, for all their cheapness, have not gained distribution. So, for now, just using a full-fledged sound card, along with good speakers with digital connectivity, can create a clear and uninterrupted sound. Pins SoundWorks FourPoinSurround FPS2000 Digital is a great sound system, ideal for use with SB Live! and not only; The sound quality is very high and the power is sufficient for true gamers and music lovers; For watching DVDs, you should turn to the specially designed DeskTop Theater DTT2500 Digital system If you notice an error, select it with the mouse and press CTRL+ENTER.

[2] Kloss Industries On the bud of the 1950s, Kloss inspired (albeit not designed) a Baruch-Lang column at his hill in Cambridge when he was an MIT student. This high-end speaker with a 5-inch driver (“15 openings”) was sold for 25 dollars (or 30 dollars for the Deluxe model “with a beautiful frame and fabric for the grill”). [ ] Acoustic research Main article: Acoustic research (AR) Edgar Vilchur in 1954. Vilchur, Kloss’s great teacher, having described those who called them «acoustic movement» guchnomovets, elegantly solving the problem of bass harmony creation. Vilchur wrote and awarded a patent for an acoustic-suspended acoustic system [US Patent No. 2755309, 15 December 1956 r.], and having inspired a prototype of the construction at his booth in Woodstock, New York. Vilchur tried to sell the patent for Altec Lansing and Bozak, the makers of great speakers at that time, but the company was not successful. Altec told Villchur, «It could be as close to what you describe as possible, our engineers would already have.» [ need citation ] After one evening in 1954, Volchur and Closs traveled from New York to Woodstock in 1938 to the Bucca of Villchur, so that Closs sensed a prototype. Because of this stench, they built a new speaker design, which became known as «AR-1», the first commercial acoustic-suspension speaker system. Villchur awarded 100% for the design and patent of the system; The class of loss for, perhaps, 75% of the mechanical design of the speaker system cabinet. 960). The tweeter was placed close to the middle, and ten woofer panels occupied the square. Prototypes were completed in the JansZen laboratory and tested on missions starting in 1957, and after full dynamics were launched at the KLH. Although KLH was sold to Singer Corporation in 1964, Kloss was temporarily out of the company to help develop additional speakers and electronic music products, while the company continued to acquire design and engineering talent. Kloss created the first transistorized programmer, the KLH Model Eleven.
