The subwoofer was designed just like an iPod player, with controls placed neatly into the center of the surface (emulating the iPod control system), while the “screen” area is simulated by an opening in case. Besides the obvious iPod look-alike effect, these openings, which there are four of (on each side of the subwoofer) plus perforated upper side, have the purpose of providing ventilation for the vacuum tube in the center, since it can get quite hot under load. Since the tube is shining when the system is on, a nice visual effect is achieved as well.

The subwoofer is made of wood, but with a plasticized cover layer, while the speaker is directed to the floor in order to achieve equal spreading of sound in all directions in a room. The back of the subwoofer contains connectors for the satellites (manufactured in the same fashion as the subwoofer, and same goes for the remote as well) and two additional audio inputs, which means that two separate devices can be connected to this system at the same time. This is a common feature on all high-quality sound systems, but SonicGear inserted another interesting detail here. These two inputs have different amplification levels. One is meant to be used with devices which already have a built-in amplifier, such as CD/DVD players, computers etc, where the other one is targeting mp3/mp4 players, iPods and so on. Therefore, user should pay attention which connector will he use for a particular device. No one is stopping you from using any of these two, but proper usage yields best results in sound volume.
