Know before you buy
Yes, the Prime Satellite speakers feature integrated keyhole brackets on the back, making them easy to mount flush against a wall for a clean, unobtrusive look.
The system includes the speakers and the subwoofer, but it does not come with speaker wire or an RCA cable for the subwoofer. You will need to purchase these separately based on the specific distances between your receiver and speaker locations.
While the Prime Satellite system is designed for compact placement, it is highly capable of filling medium-sized rooms with immersive sound. If you have an exceptionally large or open-concept space, you may find that you need to push the volume higher to maintain the same level of impact.
Yes, this is a passive component system, meaning it requires an external AV receiver to power the speakers and process the surround sound signal.
The subwoofer connects to your AV receiver via a dedicated subwoofer pre-out using a standard RCA-style subwoofer cable. It is an active subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier, so it will also need to be plugged into a standard wall outlet for power.
