The speakers incorporate the THX's Ground Plane and Slot speaker technology which makes use of the desktop surface to improve the overall sound presentation across all frequencies. The downward firing design and Slot Speaker technology uses the surface to its advantage to increase sound output and deliver smooth and even response.
Out of the box, you get two downward firing speakers, a large sub, and a touch sensitive control wheel. It took us about five minutes to set up the Mako system. The sub hosts all the connection ports which includes the CAT-5 ports for the speakers, a Line 1 (3.5mm jack) and Line 2 port (RCA stereo port), AC port, and control wheel port. After plugging the unit in, users have to hold down the Razer logo on the control wheel to turn the system.
The touch sensitive control wheel has five additional icons in the middle that allows a user to flick between the two line inputs, bass adjustment, volume adjustment, or mute the system altogether. Users have to touch the area under the LED to adjust the volume or bass level, which is tricky at times and may take some time to get used to. A headphone jack and extra line-in port is also available on the system and is located along the side of the control wheel.
