USB for power, AUX for sound
USB SPEAKERS
USB speakers are the easiest option for building a surround system with EMOSON. The USB cable only provides power — the audio signal travels through a 3.5mm aux cable connected directly to the sound card. It's that simple: USB for power, AUX for audio.
To use them with EMOSON STUDIO, connect the 3.5mm jack from each speaker pair to the corresponding sound card output. With 3 pairs you have a 5.1, or with 4 pairs a 7.1. The USB cable connects to a powered USB hub or directly to the PC, just to supply power to the speakers.
Since USB speakers draw very little power, you can power several from a single mains-powered USB hub. If the distance between the PC and the speakers is long, use USB extension cables (for power only) along with 3.5mm aux cables to reach each location.
Why choose USB?
• No dedicated power supply — the USB cable provides the power they need.
• Compact — perfect for desks, bedrooms, and tight spaces.
• Plug & play — no external amp, no hassle.
• Affordable — options from budget-friendly to premium.
What you need besides the speakers
• 5.1 or 7.1 sound card — for the analog outputs EMOSON needs.
• 3.5mm aux cables — one per channel, to connect each speaker pair to the card.
• Powered USB hub — to supply power to all speakers from a single outlet.
• USB extension cables — if speakers are far from the PC, for power only.
Tips for using with EMOSON
• Make sure the speakers have AUX input (3.5mm). All products on this page include it.
• Best if all speakers are the same model for balanced sound.
• Layout: 3 pairs for 5.1; 4 pairs for 7.1; place them in a circle around the listeners.
• Volume: set all to the same level, around 70-75%.
