Teufel Concept B 200 Connects Via USB Speakers
October 22, 2009 | Component, Display, Gadgets, Portable Storage | 2 CommentsThe key concept of the B 200 USB trick part is in the name. Rather than connecting the audio output of your PC, B Concept comes with a dedicated amplifier, the 200 CB CS checkpoint that connects via USB. The advantage is obvious: bypassing your PC integrated (read: waste), the sound card. There are two reasons why you might want to do this. One, the digital-analog in the decoding unit Ampere Teufel will almost certainly be better than your PC can provide, and two, amplifying an audio signal which has itself been amplified ( as a “normal set” of speakers) that will never degrade a matter which set-up Teufel avoids.
Simply pick up the unit heavy AMP reassuring to get an idea of audio quality, it should exit. Power is also called directly by the sector through a cauldron of lead which suggests that some major components are at work inside (which toroidal transformer is very nice). And if that does not sell, the aluminum and anodized black glossy black plastic front fascia look good, even if they get significantly hot in use.
Teufel made the interesting choice to have the unit Ampere doubles as a USB hub. Two USB ports sit at the back of the amp next to the connector ‘B’ type A that goes to your PC. The rear also includes stereo phono, input 3.5 mm jack, connectors speaker left and right and switch “good” power, because when the sleep mode just does not cut it.
At the front, you will find the waiting list and the source select buttons, headphone and microphone jack and one USB port. Three buttons control bass, treble and volume adorn the right and all have a nice smooth action for fine tuning a breeze. Good luck pushing the volume to over one third of its full range without the need of new ears, though. [via trustedreviews]
