The product:

To start with we have the soundcard that we will talk very briefly about. You can find specifications by clicking the link above the pictures.
This is a top of the line soundcard out there but it still sells for a fairly inexpensive price as it goes for only around 100$ here in Sweden.
The package is very nice as usual from Creative. With the card you can do pretty much anything. It has a possibility of features that I don't even understand :)
Of course I'm not a audiophile so that my explain alot of it :) Well let's continue with the review...
 
Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures
On the left we have the ports on the Audigy 2 card. From the left we have a firewire port and then we have Line3, Line2, Line1 and the mic port. The the two remaining ports are line in and digital out.
Now it's time to have a closer look at the speaker kit and as I said in the beginning the part about the soundcard is very short and brief so you can have a closer look at the specifications yourself.
This package was huge and you could definately feel it by weight! :) It has the familiar Creative colors on it and a picture of the speaker kit itself.

The back of the package is filled with specifications etc. On the right picture we have the stands that you mount the speakers on. You will later on in this review see how they are mounted and what they will look like.

Inside we also found manuals and a paper with stickers so you can mark the speakers so you know which one goes where. There is also a smaller box with all the cables.
On the right side of the box we have the volume control which is very easy to use.
