(More customer reviews)Polk, a company that makes audio equipment for audiophiles, has jumped into the video gaming industry with the Hitmaster, a stereo sound loudspeaker that is specifically designed for gaming. The fact that the loudspeaker is designed for games really shows; the speaker is easy to setup, you just connect the audio cables (the red and white colored plugs) to the red and white receptacles in the Hitmaster and you are set to go. There are also red and white plugs for audio out, which allow the Hitmaster to be stringed together with other speakers, such as another Hitmaster, if one Hitmaster is not good enough for you. I think, however, that the Hitmaster should be loud enough for anyone: when I turned it up to its highest setting, 11 instead of ten!, it was simply too loud for comfort. Besides a loud volume, the speakers have a very deep bass and the high sounds have a pretty good richness to them. In addition to connecting the Hitmaster to my Nintendo Wii, I also have experimented with using it for my iPhone and also for a Casio piano that I have. In both cases I connected to the Hitmaster via the headphone outlets on my iPhone and electronic piano to the receptacle on the Hitmaster which accepts headphone cords (it is a 1/8 inch headphone jack). I was pleasantly surprised; in both cases, the sound of the loudspeaker was way better than the speakers included with my iPhone and electronic piano respectively. I think it is safe to say that the Hitmaster is not just useful for gaming but also is useful for any audio device that has standard audio cables outlets or a headphone jack. I really like the sound of the Hitmaster, if you are a serious gamer, you can't go wrong with this purchase. One think to note though, is that if you use the cable that came with your Wii (or other Playstation 3 Xbox360 etc.), which has the audio and video cables all in one cord, you might have trouble using the speaker if it not kept right near your TV. The reason is that the audio cables need to go to the loudspeaker, which you will probably want in front of your TV, while the video cable needs to connect straight to the TV, the receptacle for which is probably in back. There is a simple solution for this, just get a short video cable (the one with a yellow plug), to make up the distance to the back of your TV. Finally, I should note that the Hitmaster works on the Playstation 2 and 3 as well as the XBox and XBox360 not just with the Wii.
