private listening. You can quickly connect your cell phone, tablet, MP3
player, or gaming system to the 3.5mm aux input to really amp up the sound.
Furthermore, the bass volume control allows you to fine-tune the richness of
the sound to your liking.
The ported 5.25″ subwoofer provides some of the deepest bass available, making
it ideal for any audio experience, while the satellites with twin 2″ drivers
provide crisp, clean, optimized sound. The piano black finish on the
satellites was designed to look great next to today’s flat panel monitors. The
power cable is 5 feet long, the speaker to speaker cable is 11 feet long, the
speaker-to-subwoofer cable is 6 feet long, the input cable is 6 feet from the
control pod, and the control pod cable is 6 feet long.

CAUTION
- Do not plug the power supply in until all connections are made.
- Use only the AC power cable supplied with these speakers.

- Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not wipe any part of the system with cleaning solvents, such as furniture wax, bleach, benzene, acetone, or ammonia.
SPEAKER PREPARATION
- Subwoofer —placed on the floor near a wall or corner, for optimum performance. Adjust the distance from the corner or wall to affect the quality of bass performance as desired. Direct open port toward the wall to increase bass punch.
- Satellite Speakers —For best stereo separation, place them on opposite sides of the listening device, computer, or TV screen (as far apart as possible is usually best). For example, if you are listening to the speakers using a laptop on a desk, place the left satellite speaker on the far-left corner of the desk, and the right satellite speaker on the far-right corner of the desk.
SPEAKER CONNECTION
You can connect these speakers to a variety of devices, such as laptops, computers, smartphones, iPods, MP3 players, CD players, DVD players, and other audio devices. Please read the following instructions along with the diagrams provided to identify which diagram most closely matches your connection source.
DESKTOP COMPUTER
- Take the cable with the green plug and plug it into the green output/source jack in the back or front of the computer (also referred to as the sound/audio out jack).
- Connect the gray plug to the “To Speaker” jack on the back of the subwoofer.
- Take the AC power cord and plug it into a wall socket or power strip.
SMARTPHONE, IPOD, MP3 PLAYER, DVD PLAYER, OR CD PLAYER
- Take the cable with the green plug and plug it into the green output/source jack of the audio device.
- Connect the gray plug to the “To Speaker” jack on the back of the subwoofer.
- Take the AC power cord and plug it into a wall socket or power strip.
GAMING SYSTEM
- In order to connect these speakers to a game console, you will need a console gaming adapter, also known as a “Y adapter”, which has dual RCA outputs and is sold separately.
- Turn off the power to your gaming system.
- Take the red and white dual-RCA connections on the Y adapter, and plug them into the matching red and white RCA jacks on your gaming system.
- Take the green stereo jack at the other end of the Y adapter, and plug that into the control pod cable with the green plug.
- Connect the gray plug to the “To Speaker” jack on the back of the subwoofer.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
- Power —the on/off button is on the side of the control pod. Slide to turn the speaker on or off.
- Master Volume Control —this volume is on the top of the control pod and is indicated by the words “MAX” and “MIN.” Rotate clockwise to turn the volume up, and counter-clockwise to turn the volume down.
- Bass Volume Control – the bass volume is located on the side of the control pod. Turn the knob to the right to increase bass, and turn the knob to the left to decrease.
- Headphone Output Jack —connect your headphones to this jack and they will mute the speaker system automatically. The master volume can then be used to turn the volume up or down on your headphones.
- Auxiliary Input Connection —the auxiliary input jack allows the connection of a second audio source. For example, if your speakers are connected to your computer, you would still be able to plug in an iPod or smartphone using the 3.5mm input jack on the side of the control pod. The connected iPod or smartphone would override your computer’s audio source connection while it’s plugged in.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
The speaker system will not power on.
SOLUTION
- The power button is not turned on. Slide the power button back and forth and check for the blue LED indicator light to come on.
- Verify the AC power cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
- Check if the wall outlet or power strip you are using is actually getting power, i.e. not a switched outlet.
SYMPTOM
The speaker does not produce sound.
SOLUTION
- Verify the speaker is getting power. Check the above steps.
- Make sure the volume is turned up to an audible listening level.
- Verify that all cables are plugged into the correct jacks.
- Many times users believe that the speakers are not working, when in fact they are having trouble with the sound source. The most common problem when connecting to a computer is that the connections are incorrect. Make sure you are connected to the audio output jack from your computer. Many times, this jack will be green. Also, make sure your media device or CD/DVD device is playing and the software volume settings are turned up and not muted.
- If you still have problems, disconnect the speaker source cable from your computer and connect to a smartphone, iPod, or anything else with a 3.5mm headphone output. If your speakers work on this other source, you know they are functioning as normal and the issue likely lies with your computer or the connections.
SYMPTOM
The sound is distorted.
SOLUTION:
- Turn the volume down by 25% or 50%. If this does not work, also check the audio software volume level and decrease it if necessary.
- Adjust the computer’s master volume control by balancing the volume until it’s at 50%, then adjust the volume levels on the speakers.
- Adjust the bass volume control to test for maximum and minimum output. You may also need to move the subwoofer either closer or farther away from a wall or corner to affect the sound performance.

FAQs
Does this come with a warranty?****
Yes, it does.
Does this come with a remote?****
No, it doesn’t.
Is this compatible with my TV?****
Yes, it is.
This or Logitech Z313? Which is the best for the price since they are both about $40?****
We have both. I would get CyberAcoustics no question. Better sound and the bass is purer. ONE BIG DIFFERENCE Between the two… Cyber has a volume control that controls both sound level and BASS LEVEL!!! Z313 does not! With the Z313 you are stuck with the booming bass.
what cables do I need to purchase other than (already having HDMI cable) to make speakers and control unit useable?****
the entire unit already comes with its own power cable to be usable. you just need to plug it into your laptop, or mobile to use it. I ordered a 3.5 mm stereo cable but it was useless as the speaker unit already came with its own cable set.
Is there a volume knob on the subwoofer to separately control the sub?****
There is a separate volume knob for the sub-woofer on the hub with the main volume control.
Will the subwoofer work if the satellite speakers are disconnected? I’m only trying to generate bass from a sine wave tone generator.****
It works well.
Does it work with the echo dot?****
I have never tried it, if it has a 3.5MM Jack that you can plug this into then it might work.
Will this speaker system work on a desktop PC? What do I plug it into on the computer?****
Yes, it will work with a desktop PC. You can disconnect the speaker jack from the back of your computer and plug in the Cyber Speaker System jack. You will enjoy the improved sound.
A re they mac compatible?****
Any speaker with 3.5 aux cables will work on a Mac.
Can the base of the satellite speakers be removed?****
The only adjustment for bass is for the sub with a dial to increase or decrease the bass. The satellite speakers just play what the source puts out.
Can the woofer be used with the other speakers?****
Yes, As long as the other speakers have a 3.5 mm (like headphones) jack. If they don’t you can probably find an adapter here on Amazon. That’s what I used and had success.
Do you have an updated version with Bluetooth?****
Not sure.
