User Manual
Thank you for choosing Xcellon.
This 2.0 speaker system has an integrated liquid light show that dances to the beat of your music.
Just crank it up and enjoy the show! The DWS-200 speakers feature a stylish, flared design, and their
slim profile will fit in a variety of places. Onboard controls let you adjust the volume and activate the
six lights and jets directly from the left speaker. With a frequency range of 90 Hz to 18 kHz, these
lightweight, front-firing speakers provide a dynamic sound, and the 3.5 mm audio input means
they’re compatible with nearly any audio device, whether it’s your MP3 player, computer, or tablet—all
you need is a USB power source to get these speakers up and dancing.

Connecting the Speakers
1. Make sure the speakers are standing upright on a flat surface. Plug the left
speaker’s hard-wired cable into the right speaker’s USB Mini-B port.
2. Plug the Mini-B end of the included USB cable into the left speaker’s USB Mini-B
power port, and the Standard-A end into a USB power source. The power source
can be your computer’s USB port or a USB power adapter (not included).
The included USB cable is only for power, not for audio. If you are using
a computer as your power source, make sure the computer is turned
on. If you are using a laptop or other battery-powered device to power
the speakers, we recommend plugging the device into a power source
to conserve its battery life.
3. Slide the left speaker’s power switch up to the ON position to turn on the
speakers. If the eects switch is in the ON position (see Using the Speaker’s
Integrated Controls), the speakers’ lights and jets will activate.
Connecting Your Audio Device
1. If your audio device is turned on, make sure that it is not playing and that the
volume is turned all the way down.
2. Use the included audio cable to connect your audio device’s 3.5 mm headphone
jack or audio output connection to the left speaker’s 3.5 mm audio input
connection.
3. Turn on your audio device and press PLAY. Use a combination of your device’s
volume controls and the speaker’s built-in volume controls until the audio
reaches a desirable level. As you increase the volume, the liquid will dance higher.
Using the Speaker’s Integrated Controls
The left speaker has onboard controls that let you adjust the volume and
activate the lights and jets.
Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume of the speakers. This is useful
when your audio device is out of reach.
To turn on the lights and jets, slide the eects switch up to the ON position. To
turn them o, slide the eects switch down to the OFF position.
