So now we are ready to take the box apart, plug everything together and put this speaker system through its paces. The outer packaging will survive most courier attempts to destroy your purchase and the inside packaging is simple, functional and easy to take apart.

   

Alongside the speakers themselves – with instructions and cables – we also have the now famous Wavemaster Remote Control unit, which has both Headphone and Line-In connections.

Assembly is easy enough and the cables are long enough to allow you flexibility with positioning.

Wavemaster told us that this is a second spin on the Moody speakers, with some minor design updates and an improvement to both the speakers themselves and the amplification system. We will take their word for it since we have no v1.0 to compare against.

Internally, the amplifier looks for a non-amplified source (like a smartphone or tablet) and gives your audio an extra boost – above and beyond what you will get with a source that has already been boosted. Useful when you have the speakers situated around your TV/PC and you want to blast come tunes from your smartphone/tablet. Simply plug into the remote control and enjoy. The same is true for headphones.

   

The satellites are, clearly bigger than those you might find with Wavemaster Stax or low end Creative/Logitech systems.

We will go into detail about the difference that makes on the next page.

   

One thing they do have in common with the STAX satellites is the inclusion of a small mounting hole.
This is a minor design addition, but makes it so much easier to get your speakers into exactly the position you want – without the need for a shelf system.

Sizable though the satellites are, they are positively dwarfed by the sub woofer. It's a proper chunky monkey.

   

The connections on the rear are simple enough, with a power button at the base, connection ports for the remote and the satellites – as well as a line in.
There is also a control for overall bass and treble. This can be useful in a modern living room situation, where you may well have the TV in a corner – and need to deal with specific resonance in that situation.

So, overall, not much in the design to leave us in awe and, by the same token, not a lot to clash with most technology products in the house.
