Connection to stereo sources
Connection to a stereo sound card
If your sound card only
has a single 3.5mm stereo
jack output, connect it
using a 3.5mm mini-jack
cinch adapter to the front
input "In R/L" on the
subwoofer. Thanks to the integrated "upmix"
function in the Concept E Magnum, the 4 satel-
lite speakers reproduce a stereo signal and the
centre speaker and the subwoofer each repro-
duce a mono signal. This admittedly doesn't
sound as perfect as Dolby Digital, but does sound
better than pure stereo reproduction. Later you
will also still have the chance to operate your
speaker using a retrofitted 5.1-capable sound
card, in order to experience the full pleasure of
Dolby Digital and DTS.
Connection to a notebook/laptop
You can use the Concept
E Magnum to create
perfect PC sound, not only
on a desktop computer
but also with a notebook.
If you want to control the
Concept E Magnum using a notebook, it is con-
nected using a stereo cinch cable. Connect the
stereo output of your portable computer using
a 3.5mm mini-jack to the stereo cinch adapter
with the front left/right inputs in the rear con-
nector panel of the subwoofer. All five satellite
boxes are connected to the subwoofer via the
speaker cable. The subwoofer now produces
a mixed signal for all speakers. With this type
of connection, the four satellites reproduce a
stereo signal and the centre and the subwoofer
reproduce a mono signal. Although it is not a
flawless Dolby Digital sound, this solution sounds
noticeably better than just stereo. For 5.1 repro-
duction you usually need a notebook-compatible
external sound card with six analogue outputs.
Different companies offer solutions for connec-
tion to the PCMCIA port or via USB or FireWire.
If your notebook already offers three analogue
mini-jack outputs, please proceed as described
in the section "Connection to a 5.1 sound card" .
Connection to stereo sources
(MP3 player, satellite
receiver, TV set, games
console, CD player, DJ-
mixer, Discman, Walkman)
You can see here how uni-
versally the Concept E Magnum can be used. Our
bestseller can be operated successfully with any
of the above appliances. And not just in stereo,
but also with virtual surround sound, using the
integrated "upmix" function that involves all 6 of
the Concept E Magnum's speakers. Here's how it
works:
Connect the stereo output of your appliance
with the front left/right inputs in the rear con-
nector panel of the subwoofer. It is possible to
use a 3.5mm mini-jack on a stereo cinch adapter.
All five satellite boxes are connected to the
subwoofer via the speaker cable. The subwoofer
now produces a mixed signal for all speakers.
With this type of connection, the four satellites
reproduce a stereo signal and the centre and the
subwoofer reproduce a mono signal.
The Concept E Magnum
Power Edition enables
you to experience virtual
surround sound from all
stereo sources (MP3 player,
Playstation, CD player, etc.).
