2001 – Apple's desktop computers began to include Harman/Kardon speakers in October 1999, when Harman/Kardon's brand-new Odyssey digital speakers were included with the new slot-loading iMacs.
Since then, Harman/Kardon has codeveloped several new speaker systems with Apple. And with each one's announcement, compatibility requirements became more and more confusing. Baldis basics the old laboratory fat mac os. If you thought the name was weird, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Since I'm so fond of their performance, I decided to make a guide for Harman/Kardon systems to help others out and clear the confusion. I have a cheat sheet a the bottom for quick future reference. Here goes:
iSub
With the introduction of the slot-loading iMacs, Apple announced an accessory subwoofer (a speaker that enhances bass performance) called the iSub. This uses a Harman/Kardon speaker mechanism in a jellyfish-like case designed by Apple's industrial design team. It uses a USB connection to send sound digitally, which is decoded by the amplifier located inside the iSub.
The software it uses (included with Mac OS 9.0.4 and later) was designed to adjust the frequency range of the iMac's internal speakers so they won't overlap with the iSub. This trick also increased maximum volume, since the small internal speakers no longer had to handle deep bass. When it shipped in early 2000, the slot-loading iMacs were the only systems that worked with the iSub, which is manufactured completely by Harman/Kardon.
Spherical Cube Speakers
When Apple first shipped the G4 Cube in August 2000, included were a brand-new Harman/Kardon speaker system. It uses two baseball-sized speakers using a larger version of the Odyssey mechanism built into the slot-loading iMacs. These speakers connect to a small external amplifier that has a headphone jack and a very short USB cable for plugging into the computer.
Unlike the iSub, which has a separate power cable, the speakers were powered by USB. They work fine when plugged into the Cube's USB ports or the USB ports on any Apple monitor that plugs into an ADC port. (More information on ADC ports in my article Farewell CRT.) Although they use Harman/Kardon speaker mechanisms, final assembly is done by Apple.
SoundSticks and Subwoofer
Harman/Kardon also shipped their new SoundSticks around the same time. These combined a subwoofer (that looks almost exactly like the iSub) and two satellite speakers, the SoundSticks, that each contained four Odyssey speakers. The subwoofer, which contains amplifiers for both itself and the satellites, plugs into the computer's USB port and to a power outlet. The satellites plug into the subwoofer with two RCA-type connectors. Piperman mac os.
These work with any Mac with USB and at least Mac OS 9.0.4. Although these are often called 'SoundSticks w/iSub' (because the subwoofer looks just like an iSub), the SoundSticks subwoofer cannot be used to supplement an iMac's built-in speakers, nor can you plug the satellite speakers into an ordinary iSub. Like the iSub, these were co-designed by Apple but manufactured by Harman/Kardon.
Apple Pro Speakers
Fast forward to Macworld San Francisco 2001. Apple announced new G4 towers with proprietary Digital Audio Connector ports. These are basically a thinner version of the headphone-style jack, powered by the components used in the Cube Speakers' amplifier box. The digital port works with the new Apple Pro Speakers (M), which are, what do you know, Cube speakers with a headphone-like plug and no amplifier box.
The Pro Speakers are a separate add-on, unlike the Cube Speakers, which were only available with the G4 Cube. You can also use the iSub with them, just like with an iMac. For some reason unbeknownst to me, these are manufactured by Apple instead of Harman/Kardon like the iSub and SoundSticks are.
Quick Cheat Sheet with Extra Tips
The iSub only works with iMacs with slot-loading drives – or with G4s made January 2001 and later when used in conjunction with Apple Pro Speakers.
When the iSub is connected to a compatible system, USB sound software adjusts the iMac's or Pro Speakers' frequency range so they don't overlap with the iSub. This also increases their maximum volume.
The Cube Speakers require special 10-watt USB ports to work at full volume. The G4 Cube has these ports, as do all Apple ADC monitors. These special USB ports are sometimes called 20-watt ports by Apple, because the two ports share a single 20-watt supply of power, however, the Cube Speakers only use 10 watts.
The Cube Speakers will work on any Mac with USB and Mac OS 9.0.4 or newer, but the volume will be much lower. This is because regular USB ports only supply 2.5 watts.
You can use the Cube Speakers at full volume with a G4 tower if it has an ADC monitor and they're plugged into an ADC monitor's USB ports. However, they'll only work at a reduced volume if plugged into the G4's own ports or a USB hub.
Sinister Cubes Mac Os X
The Mac OS allows only one USB sound device at a time. Thus, the Cube Speakers and the iSub cannot be used together.
The SoundSticks' satellite speakers do not work without the subwoofer, as it houses their amplifier.
The SoundSticks get around the one-device rule by using only one USB connector; signals are routed to the two speakers from the subwoofer. Because of that internal routing, the SoundSticks' subwoofer's relative volume is controlled by a knob, rather than by the Sound control panel as with the iSub.
The SoundSticks' subwoofer and the iSub, although they look very similar, are not interchangeable. The SoundSticks' subwoofer cannot be used in conjunction with iMac or Pro Speakers, and the iSub does not contain the amplifier and connectors needed by the satellites.
The Apple Pro Speakers use a proprietary connector rather than USB; this connector is found only on G4 towers (not Cubes) made January 2001 and later.
Because they don't use USB, you can use the iSub in conjunction with the Pro Speakers and stay within the one-device rule. However, other USB speakers won't work, because they aren't designed to be used with other speakers.

10 Things Apple Accomplished Under Steve Jobs
With 320 Million iPods, 135 Million iPhones, 35 Million iPads and counting, Steve Jobs is a man who is least likely to be forgotten for generations. The world lost a visionary, a genius on October 5th, 2011; the founder of the greatest companies; Apple, NeXT and Pixar.
Last week has been the saddest week in the tech. world and even more for the most valuable company in the world, Apple announced Jobs' death, saying, 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.'
Steve Jobs died at the age of 56, he had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. His death was widely grieved and his absence will be felt by people all across the globe, and even more by the fruit company. Following are Apple's accomplishments with the greatest innovator our time has seen.
1. Apple Computers
In 1975, Steve Jobs along with co-founder and engineer Steve Wozniak started assembly of Apple I, under the supervision of industry vet Ronald Wayne. Just a year later on April 1, 1976, they laid the foundations of Apple Inc., a company that none knew then would revolutionize the tech. world.
The first computer, the Apple I was released a year later 1976 was a little more than a circuit board and was sold for $666.66. The Apple I was a major attraction to the DIY hackers of the time since it came without a keyboard, monitor and even a power supply. Cauliflower mac os. The first Apple computer was released at the Homebrew Computer Club. With only 200 computers produced, Apple I was showcased at the Personal Computing Festival.
Apple Inc. hit the jackpot through the production of the first mass-market personal computer, the Apple II in 1977. The computer became a huge success in the US and came as a fully dressed desktop with a handsome case. The Apple II had a slimmer version released in 1984, which was friendlier and aesthetically appealing, looking equally attractive at homes and in the office.
2. Macintosh
Launched on January 24, 1984, at the Apple's annual shareholder meeting. The fruit company became the pioneers of modern computers by integrating two things that are now common, a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse with one button.
Steve Jobs was truly a visionary when he took over the Macintosh project and launched it with a massive media campaign with a minute long TV commercial that seems more amazing now than ever.
3. LaserWriter
It wasn't the first desktop laser printer to hit the market, but the LaserWriter was created for the Macintosh in 1985. The $7,000 USD machine was bigger than your average microwave. The LaserWriter could even print out newspapers if connected to the desktop and primarily used the PostScript language giving users an edge over the page layout, text options and graphics
The LaserWriter was launched on the same day as the application that brought it down, the Aldus PageMaker.
4. iMac
Steve Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985 and created NeXT and Pixar, and came back to Apple in 1997. He marked his return with the release of the new revolutionary Mac, the iMac on May 6, 1998. The new refined desktop PC kicked the previous PC box out of the market. The colored desktop spread the technology market like a wildfire.
The iMac used the updated technology and became a laudable successor of the original Macintosh desktop computers. The iMac's all-in-one design is still used by iMac and is still copied by other PC manufacturing companies.
5. Power Mac G4 Cube
Steve Jobs had first carried out his dream, designing this cube-shaped computer at NeXT. Although that failed at NeXT, Jobs accomplished his dream at Apple. On January 5, 1999, he introduced the new Power Mac G3 and the color iMacs at Macworld San Francisco.

Jobs worked with Apple designer Jonathan Ive to shape the new Power Mac line. In 2000, they finally managed to achieve an eight inch acrylic cube but the Power Mac G4 Cube failed. The $1,800 disk drive had multiple problems along with the case developed stress cracking easily. The Power Mac G4 Cube was discontinued a year later.
6. iPod
Released in 2001, the $400 USD MP3 player came out creating a new era of digital music players. With a 5 GB hard drive, the early iPod had one slight problem – it wasn't synchronized with the Windows machines. The problem was later fixed.
Steve Jobs unveiled the first Windows compatible iPod on July 17, 2002. The iPod paved a new path to the way we bought and listened to our music. The gadget with its compact size and a large music store has, till now, evolved in various colors and models, and has dominated the sales in US.
7. Mac OS X 10.0
In 2001, Steve Jobs ordered a more refined form of the Mac operating system and eventually on March 24, 2001, Mac OS X was released with a retail price of $129 and version number 10.0. Jobs promised the newer version 10.0 of the Mac OS as a true 'next generation' OS.
It would be an understatement of the century to say that Mac OS X was eagerly awaited by users. Apple had been trying to come up with the perfect successor to the previous classic version of the Mac OS for 15 years prior its release.
8. Intel MacBook Pro

In 2005, Jobs announced that Apple will be switching from PowerPc processors to the Intel processors in the future Macs. In 2006, Steve Jobs introduced the first two Macs at MacWorld – the iMac and the MacBook Pro. So the first MacBook in the series was the Intel MacBook Pro released in January 10, 2006.

The transformation to Intel's Core Duo Chips showed drastic improvements in the Macs, especially in the MacBooks. Sales soared as the clocking speed of the Mac improved.In 2008, Apple came up with their MacBook Air known to be as the 'world's thinnest notebook'.
9. iPhone
The first iPhone was showcased at the MacWorld 2007, where Jobs announced the three products Apple would release the following year, 'A widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough internet communications device. An iPod, a phone and an internet communicator.'
The first smartphone by Apple went on sale on July 29, 2007 for $499 USD with an AT&T contract. The secret to the massive success of the iPhone was its touch-screen. With the coming year Apple has rolled out with many advanced versions of the iPhone. The latest being the iPhone 4S, which was launched just a day before Steve Jobs' death.
Since the release of the first Apple iPhone in June 2007, Apple has sold nearly 100 million iPhones so far.
10. iPad
The much anticipated tablet by Apple was unveiled on January 27, 2010. The Apple iPad became the pioneer of the other tablet computers, a device many people scoffed at saying that only early adopters would own it. Apple proved them all wrong.

When the iPad was presented by Steve Jobs, he called it a 'magical device'. The iPad proved at the critics wrong when the sales went up and many Apple outlets went short on the device.
Even with all the competitors coming up with their own tablets, the iPad has still managed to stay on top becoming the most popular tablet in the world. In 2010 only, Apple sold up to 15 million iPad units.
