Conclusion
At $99 USD, the S4 MidiLand 4060M can be considered to be a fairly expensive 2.1 channel speaker system, but if you're a true audio enthusiast and want the best sound possible, this speaker system is for you. The sound produced by the 2 x 2.5" satellite speakers and the huge 6.5" bass is simply incredible. Although mid-high sounds were incredible on their own, the 6.5" subwoofer produced some powerful low notes. Overall sound quality was simply superb, even slightly surpassing my previous favourite, the Edge-418 flat panel speaker system from Labtec.
Most users will be satisfied with the 4060M because of its sound output quality, but MidiLand went two steps further by integrating their patented 3D RSS technology and including their exclusive CM-4 detached control module. I was quite impressed about how the 3D RSS technology performed as it truly enhanced the sound so that it sounded like it was coming from around me, but my favourite of the two bonuses would have to be the CM-4 control module. With controls for volume, tone (both bass and treble), balance and buttons for enabling/disabling mute and the 3D RSS feature, the CM-4 can be placed anywhere you please-on top of your desk, under a desk or even slid inside a free 5 ½" bay at the front of your case!
With the combination of quality sound output, support for their 3D RSS technology, the control module and only some minor installation annoyances, MidiLand truly has a winning 2.1 channel speaker system in their 4060M that is worth far more than its suggested retail price.
Pros
- Crisp and clear mid-high tones; powerful, heart-pouding bass
- 3D RSS (Real Surround Sound) technology really works!
- CM-4 control module adds a load of value
Cons
- Minor installation annoyances
