This self-powered satellite system provides 5W per channel to the desktop speakers and 15W to the ported sub. Remarkably thin, the stylish desktop speakers can be used nearly anywhere while taking up minimal space.Unlike multimedia speakers designed for listening to MP3s and video games, the VL-S21 was designed with a flat frequency response for critical listening and mixing. They're ideal for home recording studios, practicing with TASCAM's CD Trainers, or monitoring desktop and laptop computer recording systems. Created for musicians looking for an affordable speaker system that doesn't take up a lot of desk space, the VL-S21 is an excellent entry-level monitoring solution.NXT technology drivers in the left and right units allow full-range sound despite the thin housing. The NXT approach improves on the traditional woofer and tweeter design by eliminating the phase cancellation that occurs when using multiple drivers and crossovers. NXT drivers provide wider dispersion, more uniform loudness, and reduced room interaction than competing technologies. A single NXT driver covers a wider range than traditional drivers, reducing the phase distortion caused by using multiple drivers and crossovers.
