Description
The Epson ELPSP02 Active Speakers are a pair of compact, powered (active) loudspeakers designed specifically to complement Epson projectors, especially in educational and corporate environments like classrooms, conference rooms, and training facilities. They are intended to provide clear and engaging audio for presentations, videos, and other multimedia content.
They are not high-fidelity studio monitors or powerful sound reinforcement speakers for large venues. Instead, they focus on practicality, ease of use, and integration within an Epson projector ecosystem.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Type: Active (Powered) Two-Way Speakers. One speaker contains the amplifier and connections (“active speaker”), and it powers the second passive speaker (“passive speaker”).
- Total Output Power: 30W (2 x 15W RMS). This is sufficient for filling a medium-sized classroom or meeting room.
- Drivers: Each speaker typically features a woofer and a tweeter for balanced sound reproduction.
- Frequency Response: 80 Hz – 20 kHz. This range is suitable for speech clarity and general multimedia playback.
- Sound Pressure Level (SPL): 100 dB at 1W/1m. This indicates they can get quite loud for their size.
- Impedance: 8 ohms.
- Inputs:
- RCA Audio L/R: Standard stereo RCA inputs for connecting to projectors, DVD players, or other audio sources.
- 3.5mm (Mini Jack) Audio: A common auxiliary input for connecting smartphones, laptops, or portable media players.
- 18V DC Power Input: For the external power adapter.
- Outputs:
- RCA Audio Output (to passive speaker): For connecting the active speaker to its passive counterpart.
- 3.5mm (Mini Jack) Audio Output: For connecting to another audio device or headphones (though a dedicated headphone amp is not its primary function).
- Controls (on the active speaker):
- Volume Adjustment: Master volume knob.
- Treble Adjustment: For fine-tuning high frequencies.
- Bass Adjustment: For fine-tuning low frequencies.
- Power Switch: On/Off.
- Mounting: Designed for easy wall mounting with included brackets, but can also be placed on a desk or shelf.
- Automatic Standby: Features an energy-saving auto-standby mode when no audio signal is detected, and powers back on when a signal resumes.
- Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with most Epson projectors, with or without the Epson ELPCB02/ELPCB03 control box (which provides simplified cable management and control for classroom setups).
- Dimensions (per speaker, approx.): 142 x 155 x 231 mm (W x D x H) or about 6.1″ x 9.1″ x 5.6″.
- Weight (per speaker, approx.): Active speaker: 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs); Passive speaker: 1.9 kg (4.2 lbs).
Applications:
- Classrooms: Enhancing audio from projectors for lessons and multimedia.
- Conference Rooms: Improving sound for presentations and video conferences.
- Training Facilities: Providing clear audio in training sessions.
- Small Meeting Rooms: Basic audio playback for general use.
- Anywhere where a projector is used and needs supplementary audio.
The Epson ELPSP02 speakers are a practical and effective solution for enhancing audio specifically with Epson projectors in educational and presentation settings.
