Important
Please appreciably reduce the
volume BEFORE using the USB
port of the Concept C 200. The
USB connection may create
distinctly higher output volumes
than the analogue connection!
Digital connection to a computer
The Concept C 200 has a USB interface, in additi-
on to analogue stereo cinch inputs (for connec-
tion, see Concept C 100, page 8).
The speaker set can be connected directly to a
notebook or desktop computer. PC owners with
onboard sound cards with moderate sound qua-
lity find it easy to improve the sound quality of
their computer at the source.
Connect a free USB port* on your PC or Mac using
a USB cable (type A to type B) with the “USB” input
on the subwoofer. The Concept C 200 amplifier
now works like an external sound card.
The Concept C 200 is usually automatically re-
cognised by operating systems like Windows XP,
Windows Vista or Mac OS X – without installing
additional drivers.
In some cases it may be necessary to switch the
Concept C 200 to "active" in the audio menu of
your computer or to specifically select it as a
playback device.
Alternatively you can use the stereo cinch input
as described on the previous page or connect
another source appliance there. Both signals
will be reproduced simultaneously, as soon as a
USB connection is active at the same time. The
volumes of the cinch input (Q on page 11) can
then be controlled separately in your operating
system’s audio mixer to avoid interference, for
example, and can also be “muted” if necessary.
The volumes of the USB signal can also be con-
trolled separately there.
The microphone input (“MIC”) on the front of the
table remote control supplied only works with a
USB connection.
Connecting the satellites
The satellites for the Concept C 200 are con-
nected as described for the Concept C 100 on the
previous page.
* You can use USB 1.0/1.1 as well
as USB 2.0 ports.
Note
Please note that when using the
USB and the stereo cinch input
at the same time, separate volu-
me control is also possible using
the internal control on your
computer. You should also mute
one of the connection types
there to avoid interference.
Note
Please note that the microphone
input (“MIC”) on the front of the
table remote only works when
the USB connection is used.

If this speech bubble (or its equivalent, depending on the
operating system) is displayed, the Concept C 200 has been
successfully recognised by your computer and can be used.
You might have to select the Concept C 200 as a playback
device in the audio menu of your operating system. It is
shown as a "USB Multimedia Audio Device".
