The Digital Sound System 80, short DSS80, was a three-piece PC audio system co-developed by Microsoft and Philips. It debuted on the 1998 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and is most likely the only speaker system ever released by the Microsoft Corporation. It also remains one of the very few featuring Philips' wOOx subwoofer technology.The DSS80 speaker systemThe DSS80 featured technological innovations in comparison with contemporary systems. For instance, it didn't require a sound card installed but actually featured its own integrated sound hardware which could be connected via USB and allowed digital quality playback, synchronized hardware and software volume controls, the use of a 10-band graphic equalizer and Microsoft Surround Sound.To support computers without USB, and to enable users to take advantage of present high-end sound hardware, it additionally featured 3.5mm analog line-in.It was possible to connect the system both ways to ensure highest compatibility with both analog and digital audio content.Contents1 Technical Specifications 2 Control Speaker Cable Wiring Info 3 Trivia 4 External links // Technical SpecificationsSystem type: Biamplified, stereophonic speakers and monaural subwoofer Amplification: High efficiency, class-D switch-mode power amplifier Rated power output (per IEC 268.3): Subwoofer: 44 W Left/Right Speakers: 32 W, 16 W per speaker Frequency response: 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz Transducers: Subwoofer: 5.25" Dual voice coil active woofer, 6" wOOx passive radiator Left/Right Speakers: 3" full range, magnetically shielded Power supply (subwoofer only): AC 110-220 V, 50-60 Hz, 310mA @ 220V Electronic crossover frequency (subwoofer to a speaker): 160 Hz Electronic crossover filter slopes: Subwoofer: -18 dB/octave at 160 Hz Left/Right Speakers: +12 dB/octave at 160 Hz Digital input sensitivity: Full Scale minus 12 dB Analog input sensitivity: 0.180V rms for rated output power Analog input impedance: > 10 k? Control Speaker Cable Wiring InfoThe plug on the Microsoft DSS80 control satellite speaker is a 4-pin mini-DIN "s-video" plug. It is not the same as the PS2 (mouse) plug. The plastic guide pin on the DSS80 plug is located on the opposite side (and oriented differently) from that on the PS2 plug. Also, the PS2 plug has six pins while the DSS80 has only four.The pins on the DSS80 plug are connected to the following wires: with the index mark (labeled "B") at 12 o'clock, the pin at 2 o'clock connects to the black wire (speaker ground); the pin at 4 o'clock connects to the red wire (speaker hot); the pin at 8 o'clock connects to the yellow wire; the pin at 10 o'clock connects to the blue wire; and the ground sheath connects to the white wire. If you bypass the plug and wire the cable directly to the subwoofer, remember to mirror these connections.The subwoofer and satellite speaker are both held together with Torx #10 screws.TriviaThe DSS80 was afflicted with a glitch concerning the main volume control. At times, when the one of the buttons was held down, the volume would quickly increase to the maximum, or decrease to the minimum setting. The only way to stop this process was to hit the mute button.
