Questions & Answers

What kind of connections does this have to the new dell ultrasharp monitor u2415? As far as I can tell, it does not have ?

Connecting to the Dell U2415 is not possible. In front of my desk are two monitors In addition to the Dell U2415 (an excellent monitor, by the way), I also have an older 1704FPT from Dell. There is a Dell AS501 sound bar in the Dell 1704FPT. A connection tab is not present on the U2415.

Do I need to get a USB cable to connect to my Dell 27-inch UltraSharp monitor (U2715H)? An LCD (DisplayPort) monitor is connected to a PC via DP (DisplayPort) connections. How about the surface dock?

There is a USB tip on the cord of the very latest AX511 bar, which has the same function as a thumbdrive. As a result, it does not require the "12 Volt D.". Flat panels that are older than Dell have a 0Amp hole in the back. If it is the AS501, AS500, or AS510 (the same bar, every time) Only a few In recent years, a facelift has been performed).

Do the sounds from my Dell Ultrasharp monitor carry over to this sound bar if I connect it to my PC through HDMI? Are there any cables I need to connect the PC to the audio device separately?

Connecting the sound bar to the audio output of the computer/Mac is achieved by means of an audio cable that is provided by There is no need for an extra cable.

Do you have enough volume?

There is not enough volume on my computer for me to listen to songs, or watch videos online.

Selected User Reviews For Dell AS501 Sound Bar Speaker for Ultrasharp LCD Monitors

Excellent! I have never been so pleased with my experience! Originally, I was going to get the Pebbles, but after reading those reviews, I saw somebody recommend these, and I decided to go for them because they were available as an Amazon Warehouse deal at a cheaper cost Bose Companion 2 Series III Multimedia Speakers have been my faithful companions for several years
5/5

At first, I wasn't very eager to purchase the speakers however, I am extremely satisfied with their performance, and I was looking for monitor speakers to fit under my computer There has only been one issue that I have encountered, and I determined that it was a computer issue and not something with the speakers. There have been some reviews where the speakers have made noises such as static or hissing. I, too, was affected by this at first when listened on max volume, but the problem was not apparent when the volume was lowered considerably. It turned out that this was an interference issue coming from the USB port of the computer and not a speaker issue. As a result, I solved this problem by using an external USB power supply to power the speakers. An old Android phone I had laying around has an extra power supply, and after plugging these speakers into that, the problem vanished and I was able to turn the speakers up to 100% without issue. When I tested these speakers on a Dell Inspiron desktop and a Macbook Pro, only the Dell had the USB port interference, so if you encounter this issue, I suggest connecting the speakers to.

As long as you don't mind the gray aesthetics (as opposed to the newer black model), get the AS501 and not the AS501XL
5/5

A black person). There is a substantial difference between the sound quality of the AS501 and For the price of one new AX510, I was able to purchase two used AS501s from Front Source Technologies. Initially, two came with broken clips on the back, so it was unable to connect to my Dell monitor, but it worked otherwise. Front Source Technologies quickly sent a replacement, and I want to note that the packaging was excellent! The sound quality is good, but don't expect it to be nearly as good as Bose It is reproduction at level 1. It will become tinny sooner than a 2. If you tend to need A LOT of volume, it will become tinny sooner than a 2. The sound system has one speaker. You need to check the back of any monitor you intend to use for these models to make sure two protruding blocks will fit. There is a new mechanism for the Dell monitors that can fit.

For the price, it is an excellent product, but you are unable to turn off the automatic bass boost Terminate the computer
4/5

A review of the Dell V4J8D AE415 is presented. Many of the reviews are mixed up with reviews for My wife got these not only for video conference purposes, but also for listening to music and because she appreciates things that are pleasing to the eye. While they don't sound as good as audiophile-quality speakers, they are great for the price of $70. A desktop speaker with accurate sound can be louder, but not very loud. A subwoofer is an important aspect of the audio system since it adds subtlety to the bass without being overpowering. You don't even realize the bass is coming from a subwoofer, but you hear it. Furthermore, the sound is particularly spacious and has an almost surround sound effect. In addition to its round design, the speaker also features a unique round shape that is unheard of in a standard computer speaker. The speaker has a headphone jack and can be switched out if you want to listen to headphones instead. Its only downside is that it has wires connecting to the subwoofer and to the power supply, so there are a lot of There is a big flaw for which a star is knocked off, which is that the speaker turns itself off after five minutes of inactivity, which means the speaker has to be reset It is thanks to the vendor that the package was packed properly and shipped on time.

Purchase it at your own risk
3/5

It's out of warranty, and you can't return it since it has already been 30 days since purchase. With a new PC also from Dell, I bought this as a gift for my wife. In any case, I bought the speakers before I got the PC. I didn't open the box until today when the PC arrived, regardless that I hadn't opened the box. While they look nice, you can find a brick pretty much anywhere. A very disappointing experience.

There are pebbles in the water The bliss of it all! This is (*o*)
5/5

These are absolutely amazing! I love the sound of them. It's been a while since I bought anything from Dell. Now that I know how big and powerful the speakers are, I know how good they are. It's love! I can't get enough of I wasn't expecting them to be quite so large, but they are very impressive. I definitely recommend this book! These photos will always hold a special place in my heart. Dell, thank you for your kind words It has been a pleasure working with you.

I'm just ok with it
3/5

This sound is quite ordinary. It does not stand out in any way. As far as quality sound like Bose speakers (which I have on my desk) goes, I would not recommend buying these. They are okay and I got them for my husband to use at his office. A computer and wall plugs are plugged in. There is a volume control on the side of the speakers, so it's a little hard to see if you're using the speaker controls. You have to turn towards you to adjust the In terms of space and appearance, these speakers are fine, but the sound they produce is poor. There's nothing exciting about it.

Sound is decent for a great price
5/5

The raspberry pi project cabinet I built with these speakers served as a cheap speaker. Their sound quality is also decent, and they are loud enough for that purpose. I used a power supply that had both a 5v and 12v outlet so that I could supply both voltages instead of using the PI directly. However, these do require a 12v adapter (not included). An AC power supply will also work with both 12v and 24v.
A few scratches / dings & dents were present on these surplus items Although I was hiding these anyway, I did have some dents.

The Dell AS501 Sound Bar Speaker is designed to accompany ultrasharp LCD monitors
3/5

There is a terrible muffled sound coming from the speakers. They disappointed me when I first used them around June 12, 2020. Because I had to order an adapter, I was unable to use the speakers before. The adapters did not come with them, so I was disappointed. There is an adapter you need to purchase if you wish to use these speakers. The prices for adapters range from $10 to $15. It must be at least $100. I had already tried the speakers by the time I got the adapters and got the speakers, but the return window was.
