Back-panel hosts power and volume controls, 3.5mm input jack, and power port. The H2 system's right master speaker powers itself and the left slave speaker via a cable, included.
Swan's best 2" raw-fiber cones provide wonderfully clear, natural sound.
Electronics quality is superb and uses latest RoHS-compliant amplifier technology. Includes external 9v power supply.
If you want a distinctive micromedia sound experience, fire up an H2 system anywhere you've got a music source. On-board amplifiers and compact size means the H2 fits nearly anywhere a big system can't. Precision fullrange drivers means the H2 sounds unique.

Swan Active Desktop speaker technology
From the entry-level M10 to the top T200b studio monitor, the Swan name has been associated with top audio performance for desktop or studio, while The Audio Insider is known for providing great sound with Internet-direct value. Every Swan Active Desktop loudspeaker system incorporates the highest grade components, design, and value in their category. Count on Swan for a number of important design features that all add up to a superior listening experience...for less!
Substantial size
Acoustical physics simply state that a larger speaker has better efficiency and bass response. Dollar for dollar, Swan Active Desktop speakers are substantial, solid designs - check dimensions and weights to see just how much speaker your money buys.
Tweeters
Regardless of price, all multi-way Swan Active Desktop speakers use high performance soft dome tweeters with Neodymium motors. The top T200b employs 28mm Danish-style tweeters with German-made silk domes, while the M200 series models and D1010 and D1080 series models feature 25mm soft fabric tweeters. Even the economical M10 has 20mm soft dome tweeters. Every Swan speaker in the multi-way category shares similar high frequency treble performance to Swan's home theater speaker offerings.
Midbass / Woofers
Excluding the Swan M10 and all fullrange models such as the H2, nearly all Swan Active Desktop loudspeakers use beefy 5.25" woofers - unlike competitors, Swan doesn't use 3", 4", or even 4.5" "woofers" in anything except the very smallest models or in satellite speakers supported by bass systems. Combined with each multi-way model's larger size, you get deep, low-distortion bass, while the excellent sensitivity of a larger system means Swan can employ higher quality, conservatively rated internal amplifiers.
Amplification
Swan uses very high quality amplifiers and on-board electronics to deliver the clean, clear, musical sound Swan owners have come to depend on. Remarkably, Swan has included "gainclone" chipset amplification in its powered models, a technology renown the world over for some of the most transparent, musically-authentic sound possible ... even in the high end of premium performance home audio amplifiers. Swan is constantly refining their electronics sets so many models are in their second or even third generation of electronics sets. See individual product pages in this section for more information and photographs.
Cabinets
Most of the models in the Swan Active Desktop class use substantial enclosures weighing much more than anything in their price class. The M200 series are double-side wall construction, while the top T200b uses a mill-cut aluminum baffle overlay on top of polished black lacquer. The M200MkIII even includes solid milled laminate side planks for a look and value unique in its class.
