Specifications
A 20 watt Subwoofer
2 normal satellite speakers with a 3 inch satellite speaker on top of both of them angled at 45degrees.
The satellite speakers are angled at 45 degrees to create a surround sound effect. Sound that comes out from the satellite speakers will bounce off walls making your mind think that you are listening to surround sound.This is a good and cheaper method to enjoy surround sound.
Installation
Setting up the system was effortless. I didn't need to use my braincells to get the speakers working. All you need to do is plug the speakers into the back of the subwoofer according to their color codes,connect your subwoofer to the back of your soundcard, plug in the USB cable, connect the subwoofer to a power source and the speakers would be working.
Setting up Audio Management
Installing the Audio Management software was also a breeze. Just insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive and it will run setup by itself.
Reasons I like ADA-305
Most importantly is the price, I can still get a change for my 150dollars.The Audio Management software also allows me to set the speakers according to my needs(presets) and also the feature to switch from Pro-Logic to stereo mode with just a single click on the mouse. This speaker system produces great surround sounds while in Pro-Logic mode for games such as Quake3, Counterstrike and other 3dgames.
Dislikes
The speaker emits a sound whenever you switch on the computer which can be irritating at times.This speaker system is also not the best if you want to use it to listen to music.Not to mention, the fact that there aren't any headphone jacks.This can cause some inconvenience. I guess the company is trying to discourage us from using headphones.
