Our take on the Dell AC511 USB Wired SoundBar

The Dell AC511 is a 16-inch stereo soundbar that powers and receives audio over a single USB connection, so it needs no power cord, batteries or software. It clips onto compatible Dell monitors with an integrated T-hook and adds a volume knob, a headphone jack and an aux-in. Output is modest at 2 x 1.25 W, so it suits everyday desktop listening rather than loud music or movie sound. Against generic PC speakers it wins on desk space and cable clutter; against dedicated soundbars and 2.1 sets it gives up bass and volume.

  • MountingMixedThe T-hook works well on listed Dell monitors but does not fit others.
  • Sound qualityMixedSpeech is clear, but music sounds thin next to proper speakers.
  • BassCriticisedReviewers say low-end output is minimal.

Questions and answers

Does it work with non-Dell monitors?
It can play audio from any computer with a USB port, but the T-hook mount is made for the listed Dell E, P and UltraSharp models. On other monitors it has to sit on the desk.
Does it need a power adapter?
No. It draws power from the USB port it plugs into, so there is no power cord or batteries.
Can I use headphones with it?
Yes. There is a headphone jack on the bar, and an aux-in for other audio sources.
How loud is it?
It delivers 2 x 1.25 W of stereo power. That is fine for close desktop listening but not for filling a room.

Generally yes for clarity and volume, though it still lacks bass. It is a small upgrade, not a hi-fi replacement.
