With the latest introductions into the ZVOX Z-Base sound bars lineup, tech enthusiasts can wave goodbye to home theater systems that are an amalgamation of many bulky components. The newest additions the Z-Base 220, 320 and 420 are fashioned to be neatly placed under the flat-panel TV set. Tagged with pocket-friendly prices, these devices boast of incorporating high quality amplifiers and speakers as well as the company’s PhaseCue II virtual surround sound system and wood MDF cabinets.
The Z-Base 220 is noted to be around the same size as a DVD player and offers 3D sound with booming bass minus any external speakers or speaker wires. Fitted into one single cabinet that measures 17 x 14.5 x 3.4 inches is a trio of full-range speakers along with a 35 watt amplifier and a 5.25-inch powered subwoofer. This device can easily be accommodated on a shelf or under TVs that range from 22-inch to 32-inch in size.
“As one reviewer noted, our Z-Base concept is nearly the perfect home theater design,” commented ZVOX president and founder Tom Hannaher. “Under the TV is the right place for a surround sound system. With one connecting wire and a one-page owner’s manual — and no external speakers or wires — these are the simplest home theater systems ever invented.”
Measuring just 24 inches and 11.5 inches in width and depth, respectively, the Z-Base 320 has the ability to support 27-inch to 46-inch TV sets and can even be placed on a bookshelf if required. Besides three full-range speakers and a 5.25-inch powered subwoofer, it also features a 40 watt amplifier for providing aural bliss.
Finally, the Z-Base 420 can support television sets that are 55 inches in size and is claimed to perfectly compliment any type of room. This particular offering includes a 5.25-inch powered subwoofer, a 45-watt amplifier and five full range speakers to boom forth with high performance 3D sound. All three sound bars enter the market complete with the Dialog Emphasis, the ZVOX Output Leveling and multiple inputs. They also respond to TV, cable box or satellite remote controls for tweaking the volume, power, mute and input functions.
The ZVOX Z-Base sound bars lineup namely Z-Base 220, 320 and 420 are priced at $199.99 (approx. Rs. 10,671 ), $249.99 (approx. Rs. 13,339) and $299.99 (approx. Rs. 16,007), respectively.
