Speaker/Mini home cinema help

If the TV has no passthrough you Will need to have a DAC with 3 inputs. 3x Optical (Your PC should have one) or better yet 1x USB and 2x Optical.

whats the usb for?

[ValeTudoGuy]

Digital audio and phantom power out of a PC, it's a neater option IMO.

It's a UE32EH5000.

It would be my Playstation and the TV itself in the chain both have optical out (as does my PC)

[Edamski]

The system arrived yesterday, got it all plugged in with minimal swearing [emoji16] love it!

These little speakers really do fill the room. More than fill it in fact haha!

Battlefield on the Playstation actually feels a better game now because of the audio quality! [emoji4]

Music is beautiful!

Tv sounds a little out of place I think that may be down to a relative lack of mid but I'm not too bothered about that [emoji4]

Only disappointment is the TV doesn't control the volume which is a minor inconvenience at most really [emoji4]

Thank you very much for the suggestions and help!

[ValeTudoGuy]

I'm glad you like it. They really are quite surprising for their size aren't they! As with any small speakers there is going to be some trade offs.... but I think these are as close to big speaker sound I have found yet in such a small package.

Yeah showed a few friends last night and they couldn't believe it.

I notice it has an output for a centre which I'd throw on in an instant but my DAC is only left/right and I'm not sure I saw one with a centre in. At least not one under ?100

[ValeTudoGuy]

DAC's as they are generally referred to only output Stereo, if you want multi channel you would need what is called a Processor or Decoder.

I could be wrong with this bit as I have never used the center out on mine. But I believe it is a fantom centre which is created by mixing down from the L&R channel's. It would also most likely take up some of that valuable amp power.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Scratch that, I just looked and there's a dedicated centre channel input. So it's a full blown centre channel..... Who's have thunk it. Even better value!

[Edamski]

Yeah it is I noticed it when I was plugging it all in yesterday. Explains why I saw people selling individual satellites as centres [emoji4]

Ah right ok, I've spent enough for now though so think I'll leave it [emoji4]
