Dell Genuine AX510 Entry Flat Panel Stereo Sound Bar, 1908FP

wow what a great sound bar. I bought the monitor thinking it had built in speakers.....I was wrong. So I went to amazon and found this sound bar for the monitor. Unfortunatley I didn't make sure the power adapter came with it so I had to wait another two days after putting the sound bar on to discover what a great little piece of equipment this is.A few people have said the sound isn't good and its tinny, well not my experience. its perfectly clear and boy is it loud!!!! I daren't turn it up all the way I think I might blow the windows out. I have it barely turned up and its perfect, I can hear it from the other side of the room. Now usually with separate speakers there tends to be a two to three second lag so it looks like your watching a foreign movie that has been dubbed over in English which can be very annoying, there is no lag here at all everything is in perfect sync. I love this sound bar and it sounds awesome.If you have a Dell SR2220L I strongly recommend this sound bar, it looks great it sits flush at the bottom of the monitor and the little light in the middle of it gives it a bit of style, the knob for the sound is descreetly hidden on the side of the sound bar so its barely noticeable. A very nice design in my opinion, and an awesome addition to your monitor.I cant stand those separate speakers that have 400' of stupid wires that you have to untangle and make sure you don't knock them flying or you just think look stupid so you try to hide, they also take up too much desk space in my opinion, but that's me I don't like my desktop with things all over it.A few words of advice though.....make sure you get the power adapter with it, don't do what I did and just order the soundbar, it wont work without it, I can guarantee that. I had to sit and look at mine for 2 extra days before I could finally hear mine working, that's was just my mistake.Anyway I think its awesome and I just love it, it works for me and I'm more than happy I purchased it.

For several years I have owned a group of three Dell 1703FP monitors which date from about 2004 or so. Presently I have two of them connected to a Dell Optiplex GX620, itself another relic from the mid-2000s, running Bunsen Labs Linux (a successor to the lightweight Crunchbang project).This equipment is set up on a desk in my bedroom. I was initially using some cheap putty-colored Labtec speakers to provide sound, but repurposed those for a Mac mini that I had added to the mix. I just needed an inexpensive speaker to provide a "Business Audio" level of sound (as Dell used to call their internal speaker option back in the day).Some hunting on Amazon led me to this Dell AX510 speaker setup. I didn't see "1703FP" specifically mentioned in the item description, but this panel model is classified as an UltraSharp, and on the back of the unit I noticed a power receptable and molded plastic clips that would indeed allow fitment of a soundbar-type speaker. After looking closely at the pictures and then closely at the monitor, I figured for $14 I could take a chance.Upon receiving the speaker, I was pleased to find that it was a perfect fit for my monitor (see picture). The speaker snapped right in and the power cord fit as well. When I turned on the unit (via the dial on the right side that also acts as a volume knob), a white LED in the center of the speaker behind the grill (see picture) indicates that the speaker has power. If I turn the monitor itself off, the speaker powers off as well.Audio response was more than adequate for my needs, which is mainly limited to listening to the occasional YouTube video or listening for default alert sounds generated by the operating system. I'm not an audiophile, and folks who are looking for pounding bass are advised to invest in a multi-speaker setup that includes a subwoofer. What I like best about the speaker is how it cleanly integrates with the monitor and takes up no desk space (which is important if your desk is small). It also has two 3.5mm audio jacks on the left side to allow one to connect headphones for private listening. It's a great value--my only regret is that I didn't buy this speaker many years ago!

My wife and I often do professional photo editing and I had an older Dell UltraSharp monitor that I gave to her when I recently upgraded to a larger monitor.Desiring a clean look to her desk space, my wife did not want to keep her traditional "computer speakers", but she still needed a decent sound solution for listening to lectures, watching videos, playing her puzzle games and listening to background music while she works.After some research, I found this Dell AX510 speaker mentioned in the owners manual for the monitor and found it here at a surprisingly great price!The speaker mounted cleanly to the underside of the monitor, keeping her desk clean and clear, and connected to her computer's sound source without an issue. The speaker is low profile and largely unnoticeable, which she really likes.The sound quality isn't stellar in my book, but I have a large pair of reference monitors on my desk for music work, so I may be biased. That said, the little Dell speaker gets decently loud and has a nice tonal balance for being such a small package. Definitely better than my Acer laptop with its built-in "Dolby Home Theater" system. The Dell speaker bar sounds better than most sub-20-dollar computer speakers I've tried, as well.Volume is easy to adjust with the large knob on the side and a small light appears to let you know the speaker is on. The features are sparse, but that makes it a great plug-and-play solution.All in all, the AX510 is a great value for the price and would fit the needs of most casual users with Dell monitors who may be looking to save desk space without sacrificing acceptable sound.Highly recommended!
