Making the connections
Connecting the satellites to the subwoofer
Each satellite is connected to the subwoofer using the
included satellite cable. The ATX connectors are keyed
and color coded to ensure a correct connection: Right
is RED and Left is WHITE. Press each connector lightly
into the back of the subwoofer and the satellite until
you hear a light click. To release the connector, press
the tab.
Tip: Four-pole ATX connectors and heavy gauge
wire provide a succinct solution for the challenge of
providing discrete amplified signals to the midrange
and tweeter. They eliminate the need to run two
pairs of speaker cables to each satellite. If you'd like
to replace or extend these cables, check your local
electronics store, or visit the Corsair store at
store.corsair.com.
Connecting the subwoofer to your PC
Use the included two-meter stereo audio cable to
connect the Line In input on the subwoofer (the RCA
connectors) to your PC's 3.5mm stereo line level
output. On most desktop PCs with color-coded audio
outputs, this connector will be colored lime green.
On some desktop PCs and most notebook PCs, this
output will be marked with a headphone icon. You can
alternatively use the lime green colored AUX1 audio
input on the back of the subwoofer by using your own
3.5mm stereo audio cable.
Connecting the subwoofer to a console
gaming system
Most gaming systems provide audio output via stereo
Gaming Audio Series SP2500
M/N CA-SP211 RCA cables. You may connect your gaming system to
the SP2500 subwoofer with a standard stereo RCA
cable set, available at most any consumer electronics
retailer. If the PC is connected to the Line In RCA
connectors on the subwoofer, you can alternatively
connect the console to the 3.5mm AUX1 audio input
on the back of the subwoofer.
Connecting the desktop controller to
the subwoofer
The desktop controller connects to the subwoofer via
the 15-pin D-Sub connector.
WARNING: do not connect the controller to a VGA card,
or any other 15-pin connector other than the one found
on the SP2500 subwoofer.
Tip: we have included hook-and-loop fastening tape
dots if you'd like to help secure the controller to your
desk. Use of the tape dots is strictly optional, and we
recommend applying them only after you've used the
desktop controller and you have a good feeling for its
natural home on your desk.
Tip: the USB connector on the back of the desktop
controller is used for optional firmware updates. It is
not necessary to connect the desktop controller to
your PC via USB for normal use. The SP2500 is not a
USB audio device.
Optional: connecting auxiliary devices and
headphones
In addition to your PC, you can connect two more
devices to the SP2500 via the auxiliary inputs. The
first is built in to the desktop controller, and the
second can be found on the subwoofer. If you would
like to listen to audio from a device that has only audio
out via RCA connectors, such as a gaming console,
RCA-to-3.5mm adapters are readily available at stores
that carry electronics and audio.
If you have a pair of analog headphones with a stereo
3.5mm cable, you can connect it to the headphone
output on the desktop controller. Connecting a pair
of headphones automatically mutes output to the
speakers, so you will probably not want to connect
your headphones right away.
WARNING: take care when connecting headphones to
the SP2500 the first time. We recommend turning the
SP2500 volume down all the way before wearing your
headphones, and then slowly turning it up.
Turn on the SP2500
You are now ready to start using the desktop
controller and enjoy listening to game, music and
movie audio on your SP2500.
1. Turn on your PC
2. Press the POWER button on the desktop
controller
WARNING: Before playing an audio source, see
Using the desktop controller for instructions on adjusting
the volume.
