Focal XS SATELLITE 2.1-channel computer speaker system

Sweeten the sound, simplify the connection

You've got a lovely computer, there. The picture is just stunning. Wouldn't it be nice if the sound could be equally amazing? With the Focal XS satellite computer speaker pair and subwoofer, you can experience a rich, full sound to match your crisp, vivid picture, which will make streaming Netflix movies so much better. Focal adapted their high-end, professional audio technology to be the ideal speaker pair to pump up your computer's volume. You'll find the sound quality of these speakers will satisfy any audiophile. If you work with audio or video editing software, like Garage Band or iMovie, the Focal XS satellites offer a real sound monitoring solution. Definition, spacialization, and low latency ensure the resulting sound is pristine.

Your iPod — dock it, play it, sync it

The Focal XS satellite 2.1 system is ideal for Mac products. It integrates via a single USB connection to your computer, and the right speaker has a built-in iPod dock. It also comes with adapters to ensure that iPods of almost any model and generation will work. Simply choose the right adapter and put it on the dock. Your iPod recharges directly from the local supply. You can control playback with the included remote, which is magnetized so you can attach it to the metal stand when you're not using it. Switch on synchro mode at the back of the dock, and your iPod automatically opens in iTunes and synchronizes. Even the curved metallic stands aesthetically match the look of the current iMacs.

Simple setup, small footprint

Speakers for your computer should be almost an afterthought. At least until you listen to them. Setup shouldn't be complicated. And with the Focal XS satellite pair, setup is so easy. You plug the right speaker into your computer (Mac or PC) via a USB cable, connect the left and right speakers to the subwoofer, and plug the subwoofer into a power source. Voilà. Instant, easy sound from speakers that take up about as much space as a couple liters of Mountain Dew. Of course, the sub is a bit larger, but that's so you get the full effect of the 70W bass.

Fill out your sound with bass

Most computer speaker systems rely on an integrated woofer to give you fuller sound, but the Focal XS satellite speaker pair comes with a dedicated 70W subwoofer to really add some punch to videos, music, and gaming. Feel those tanks rumble by during your favorite first person shooter game. Three integrated amplifiers power your speaker system. Place the sub out of the way under your desk and forget about it. Adjust the volume on the dock or with the remote control. Enjoy your content with the deep tones the other systems can't touch.
