Desk speakers have a habit of claiming the last free plug on the multi-plug, then adding a power brick that sits on the floor collecting dust. The AULA GS6 Pro skips all of that. A single 1.4m USB cable carries both its sound and its power from the PC, which makes it a genuinely USB-powered soundbar: one lead, no adapter, and no extra socket hunted down under the desk.
Quick Answer
The AULA GS6 Pro draws power and audio through one 1.4m USB cable, so it runs straight from your computer with no wall socket needed. Inside, a C-Media sound card chip handles the audio arriving over that link. Bluetooth 5.4 lets a phone or tablet play through it too, and because AULA's page lists no battery, the USB cable stays connected for power. The GS6 Pro is R349 at Evetech.
🔌 How one cable does two jobs
A USB port supplies a small amount of power alongside its data lines. Many larger speaker sets cannot live on that alone, so it needs its own adapter; the GS6 Pro is designed around what a USB port can deliver, taking both its electricity and its audio signal through the same lead.
The audio side works differently from plugging speakers into a headphone jack. Instead of receiving an analogue signal from the PC's own sound hardware, the GS6 Pro receives digital audio over USB and converts it inside the bar using its C-Media sound card chip. In effect, the soundbar brings its own sound card along with it.
What the 1.4m length means for placement
The cable sets the boundary. The bar has to stay within 1.4m of a free USB socket on the computer, which is plenty for a desktop tower beside or under a desk, and comfortable for a laptop on the same surface. Measure the route the cable will actually take, around monitor arms and cable trays, rather than the straight-line distance.
🔈 What that single cable feeds
The link powers a fair amount of hardware for a compact bar measuring 410 x 80 x 76mm. AULA lists six drivers in all: a stereo pair of full-range units at 45 x 80mm, plus a treble pair and a pair of bass composite diaphragms. It also powers 15 RGB LEDs along the base, which run solid, flowing, breathing and music-rhythm effects without needing a driver.
A 3.5mm headphone output on the bar gets the same sound processing as the speakers, so late-night play can move to headphones without changing the cable setup. A detachable 360-degree microphone that filters room noise (ENC) and strips out speaker echo (AEC) rides on the same connection, and a mute button sits on the bar.
📱 Bluetooth 5.4 as the second source
Your computer is not the only possible source. Over Bluetooth 5.4, a phone or tablet can play through the GS6 Pro as well. Power still arrives over USB, since AULA's specifications list no battery, so think of Bluetooth as a second audio input rather than a way to take the bar off the desk.
Install AULA's driver on a Windows 10 or newer PC for EQ, AI noise cancellation, a voice changer, game audio modes and a 7.1 surround effect. Without it, the bar's own mode button still offers Game, Music and Movie, so nothing essential depends on software.
Setups that still use a separate power brick sit in Evetech's desktop speakers line-up, and the full speakers listing shows the rest. Evetech sells the GS6 Pro with a 1 Year Local Warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GS6 Pro need a power adapter?
No. It takes its power from the same USB cable that carries the sound, so no adapter or wall socket is involved.
What does the C-Media chip do?
It acts as the soundbar's own sound card, turning the digital audio from USB into the signal its drivers play.
Can I plug it into a laptop?
Yes, as long as the laptop has a USB port within the cable's 1.4m reach.
Will it play from my phone with the PC switched off?
The bar still needs power over its USB cable, since the page lists no battery. With power supplied, a phone can play through Bluetooth 5.4.
Does the RGB need software?
No. AULA says the lighting effects run without a driver.
Ready to free up a plug on your multi-plug?
Freeing a socket starts with a speaker that runs off USB, and the speakers section at Evetech sets those next to traditional desktop setups.
