mm.. i noe. lol. but i was scared tat the surround will tear if i blast really loud
aiya, not no faith in altec products but then again, even if its expensive speakers tat u blast there's a risk of damage to something still.


Added on June 16, 2008, 10:30 amthen again, almost all altec's woofers are long throw. =P

MX5021 woofer surround was rubber, i don't think it will tear...

aiyo, just hear it la, why need to push the bass until distorted?

changing cable to higher impedance and lower capacitance can increases the bass respond. take the cable as a series resistor which connects between your speaker and woofer.
the cable will alter the balance of treble / bass.
if your cable is naturally lack in high frequencies,. then you will get impression of stronger bass. while using better cable, might as well pull outs the mid and high. so you don't need such high volume to get the actual volume, hence u will feel the bass is decreased.

but on some specific cable. bass can be reduce / enhanced.
for example. silver cable usually has less bass as compared to copper cable which hasĀ  better bass extension.

haha, i fully agree with you if the speaker is 2.0 or big midrange 2.1 satellite...but my answer was particularly for domo_Kun cases....only changed satellite cable for MX5021 won't affect subwoofer bass response until what he claimed
QUOTE
"but the funny thing is that i don't feel any vibration or booming effect la
ever since i changed the audio cables to a thicker one, i don't feel it anymore
unlike the original thinner cables, i can feel the room vibrating, especially on the windows and the walls..."
... unsure.gif

and MX5021 satellite won't make the feel of 'vibration' even the highest quality cable was installed...i'm using this, thats why i know... tongue.gif i guess domo_kun just alter his woofer placement after he changed the cable...

Hi all, I'm AL MX5021 user for more than 1 year now. Recently I noticed when listening songs or watch movie, the sound from both satellite seems to have some "pecah" sound. Can anyone advice what's the problem?
*
your problem probably due to too high volume in your sound card setting. the cracking sound maybe from your sound card (distortion) or speaker input opamp distortion.

when i pair my X-Fi XtremeMusic to MX5021, with wave and player volume set to 100%, i can't tune the master volume exceed 80%, anything beyond this will introduce 'pecah' (distortion) in the satellite, because the input opamp of MX5021(old school 4558) can't cope with the high signal from sound card.

Company Redesign
On September 10, 2008. Altec Lansing went through a Major company rebranding, where the Logo was redesigned from the "whirlpool" logo to the current logo based on the tip of a hat to the lines of a multi-cellular horn that Altec Lansing is proud of. The company's colours also changed from the the traditional and has been for decades now Blue and white, to the now Gold and Black.....source from WIKIPEDIA

Which color of this cable should plug to red or black suite of my satellite ?

is up to you, it doesn't matter at all... make sure you connect the both end with the same color of cable...

What will happen if i connect to diff color at both side ?
*
i think you maybe misunderstood my words...

if you connect blue to black and gold to the red at the subwoofer out, then you should connect the same way to your satellite input, otherwise reverse polarity will occur...

but if you connect in the different way for left satellite and right satellite, nothing will happen...the wire color just let you recognise which one is negative and positive, doesn't matter...

Hey guys. I recently acquired an old set.. not sure if you all know AVS500.

Well, I have to ask - can it connect to a notebook? And there's 2 3.5mm connectors.. what do I do with the other one?
*
AVS500 is 4.1 speaker, 2 3.5mm connectors, one is for front stereo and one is for rear surround....

in your case you are using notebook so only connect the front stereo (usually green), the other one just leave it there...if can, unplug that cable, if not maybe will pickup the noise...

How do I find out what sound card do I have? Also, how do I find out whether it is compatible?

Sorry for the noob questions but I currently don't have the AC adaptor, so I can't power the speakers to try it out.

no, you need external sound card, laptop sound card only support stereo analogue sound...
