Corsair SP2500 2.1 PC Speaker System Review

At the heart of the speaker system is the mammoth subwoofer, measuring in at 46×25.8×29.7cm. Inside is a 8″ 120W driver with durable rubber surround. The only subwoofer I’ve seen bigger than this is from a proper studio set (Mordaunt Short etc…) so for a PC speaker system, this is definitely a monster.

It also includes four feet and large port hole on the front to help raise the unit off of the ground and to give the best amplified sound and deep bass.

Also on the front of the subwoofer is a subtle bit of Corsair branding which really sets off the style and look of the unit.

On the rear of the sub, we find that inside is a set of bridged dual 60 watt class-D amplifiers. On the backplate we find connectors for the remote (looks similar to VGA), right and left speaker connectors (looks similar to four pin CPU power), an auxiliary port and two line-in connections for attaching the supplied audio cable from your audio source (PC).

Also on the rear is another plate with the power connector on. By all of the connectors on the rear of the unit, it makes the rest of the subwoofer look sleek and tidy.

Being a 2.1 speaker system, we find two satellites including a total of 56 watts RMS per speaker. They include subtle Corsair branding and feature a stylish blue 3″ 40 watt midrange driver as well as a black 1″ 40w tweeter to get the best possible balanced sound to accompany the bass from the subwoofer.

The rear of speakers are nice and simple and include attachment for the bi-amplified (best possible quality) two-way detachable audio cables which of course are colour coded and can only be inserted one way.

Lastly included is the handy remote control for adjusting volume, and settings and sits comfortably on your desk with a full colour display.

There is a power button, scroll wheel with mute push-down button, and three buttons towards the bottom allowing you to choose between overall volume, main menu and subwoofer volume.

Also on the bottom of the remote unit is a 3.5mm jack for insertion of headphones but sadly no jack for a microphone so using a headset will still require you to swap audio source from within your operating system.

The remote  attaches to the amplifier on the rear of the subwoofer by a d-sub type connector which many will see the resemblance between it and a VGA connector.

  1. Nice review been thinking about getting a set of better speakers, must admit I like the look of the satellite speakers think the Sub Woofer is a bit on the large side but that will be on the floor, will have to save up for while but they are a set I will take into consideration.

  2. Interesting looking speakers. Looking to get some once I’ve finished my custom build, not sure on these, simply because of the price, but they look interesting.

  3. I bought a set of this two days ago, and boy am I happy with the performance! Mind blowing! Amazing value performace/cost!
    Great review by the way.
