Cons: Just a small little noise maker for your computer.
The Bottom Line: Don't expect much but, this is all you need for a basic speaker system. Definitely better than any 2-piece speaker and it is at the same price range
ivanhgomes's Full Review: Cyber Acoustics CA-3000 2 Speakers
The Cyber Acoustic speakers had been long enough in the market for many end-user to have a go at it. Cyber Acoustic LLC. based in Vancouver WA. also had been producing these little sounds under their name for a years now while tailing the bigger speaker market players like the Altec Lansing, Boston Acoustics and Creative. They have so far only been into manufacturing of speakers, headphones, microphone and combination of headset microphones. Surprisingly true but they managed to be profitable with the industry and how did they manage to do it??
Cyber Acoustics unlike any other manufacturer, have been targeting at the lower market range of speakers. Most of the higher range of speakers would use a plastic subwoofer piece but instead Cyber Acoustics used soft particle board (wood) to make their piece. With many lower labor cost made components acquired from China and with most of it were also assembled in China itself, they were able to offer a the lower budget range of speakers to the market.
The retail price for the CA-3000 is presently at $24.99 and I've decided to purchase and test it when Office Max had a $15 rebate a few months ago. The rebate for the CA-3000 during that time was $5.00 instant rebate and $10.00 mail-in rebate. While not in need for a speaker system at that time, I bought it to give it a test since I've heard from the manufacturer's point of view that this speaker would be able to offer better sound than any other common 2-piece speaker. Well, surprisingly it's true and with the same price range as any common 2-piece speakers, I bet many would settle for this speaker instead of any 2-piece speaker for a basic desktop computer system.
The Features:
Speakers
The CA-3000 speaker system consists of 2 satellite speakers and 1 subwoofer box. The satellite speakers are 2 inch speakers and the subwoofer one is a 3 inch poly carbon one.
Power
The CA-3000 speaker system runs on a 9V adapter included with it. The total power output for the system is 10 watts and 7 watts comes from the subwoofer box speaker and 1.5 watts each comes from the 2 satellite speakers.
Design
The design is similar to many other 3-piece speaker system in market which was designed ergonomic to save space on the desktop without sacrificing it's sound. The soft white color would fit with many desktop color and the emblem of 'CA' on every piece add-up a touch of class to this little speaker. The subwoofer box was made from soft particle board wood of 1cm thick and stands on four plastic legs with the speaker faced downwards. You'll be very surprise that this little noise maker have bass reflex ported enclosure too. The 2 satellite speakers have cloth grill and looks soothing to the speakers as it would look like the metal ones from far. Both the satellite speakers body were made from plastic.
Switches
The CA-3000 has a power on button and a volume control on one of its satellite speaker as well as a green power on indicator. It has 2 plug-in jacks of which were, one from the subwoofer to one of the satellite speaker and another one is from the same satellite speaker to the sound card on your computer.
Recommendations:
This little speaker system has everything you need in a low range speaker and it is a very good reliable speaker unit for a basic PC and Mac. For those whom assemble PCs to sell, as a basic package; this would definitely be a good speaker to offer than just a common 2-piece speaker system. It will add-up a good value to your PC package and this speaker will be all that your customer need for a start. For those end-users, this speaker would be a good first speaker for your computer system. Don't expect much out of it or put high expectations to it but, it gives you all the sound you need while you're working on your desktop computer.
