Wired remote control computer speakers

Wired remote

— a remote control in the form of a separate device connected to the speakers with a wire (the volume controls on the signal cable, found in some models, are not considered remote controls in this case). Such remotes are not as mobile as wireless ones, and the wire itself can create some inconvenience. On the other hand, these shortcomings are not always really noticeable: computer speakers are most often located in close proximity to the listener, and he does not have a need for "long-range" control. At the same time, wired remotes are reliable, inexpensive, do not require batteries and work even without being in direct line of sight of the speakers (unlike wireless ones, which often use IR control). However note that only the most basic functions are usually carried out on such a remote control — such as adjusting the volume and tone; on the other hand, its body may also have connectors for headphones and/or a microphone (see "Connections") — this arrangement is noticeably more convenient than on one of the speakers.
