Introduction

When most people think of Saitek they think of PC peripherals such as controllers and keyboards. Well Saitek has come out with a new Audio Line called Saitek Audio. The line only has 4 products right now but from what we have seen these products are really cool. Today we will be looking at the A-200 2.1 portable speaker system. This system is geared towards portable audio devices such as the iPod and the Creative Zen.

First Looks

The A-200 comes in a very colorful retail box. It has everything you need to know about it on the box itself, so if you are at the store you know what you are getting.

Ok getting everything out of the box we have the following items: The A-200 unit, power cable, audio cable, carrying case, polishing cloth and instructions. Everything was nicely packed inside so nothing would get scratched etc.
