HP's new JBL Speakers are designed for optimal stereo enjoyment of DVDs, CDs, games and digital audio. With a sleek shape the user can place them on the desk or secure easily to your HP CRT monitor. JBL Speakers feature a digital audio player input port on the front of the right speaker. You can connect your digital music player (such as an MP3 device) directly to the speakers for headphone-free listening for yourself or a group of friends. The speakers are independently powered, so you can listen without having to turn on the PC. JBL Speakers offer a rich three watts per channel output. The speakers can produce up to 93 decibels of high quality sound, for the ultimate in stereo audio. This allows you to fully enjoy your CDs, DVDs, games, and digital music. Power and volume controls are conveniently located on the front of the right speaker, so you can control the volume without fumbling through your PC software. A green LED in the center of the right speaker control panel tells you immediately if the speakers are powered on. A key component of the high quality sound produced by JBL Speakers is the tuned bass port located near the bottom of each speaker. This port is finely tuned to emit just the right amount of bass output and correctly balance it with treble audio. This premium combination of bass and treble produces a rich sound that is perfect for listening to music or for a real-life gaming experience. JBL Speakers are equipped with side-mounted, retractable hooks for quick and convenient attachment to the right and left sides of all Compaq CRT and new HP CRT monitors. If desk space is at a premium, or if you want to raise the level of the speakers, simply click the speakers into the slots provided on the right and left sides of the monitor. JBL Speakers feature security locks that allow the units to be secured to the monitor (when mounted), serving as a theft deterrent. When great sound matters, the right choice is HP and JBL.
