Boston Acoustics today introduced its TVee Model 25 Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer ($349.99). With availability expected in April 2011, the virtual surround sound TV and Music audio system uses a slim soundbar and wireless subwoofer to deliver powerful, room-filling sound, with Boston-engineered best-in-class performance. The TVee Model 25 provides consumers with a simple, affordable and common-sense solution for dramatically enhancing their audio experience. The system also includes a host of unique “Smart” Features including Boston's new Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround processing for pinpoint, theater-like surround effects. Designed with the same sleek lines and elegant “form-meets-function” cosmetic as Boston Acoustics' flagship TVee® Model 30 Soundbar System, the TVee Model 25 brings power, quality, and dynamic audio punch to TV, movies, and gaming, as well as enhanced music listening.
Powerful Movie and Music Performance
With a total system power of 150 watts (RMS), the TVee Model 25 virtual surround sound speaker system envelops TV viewers in rich, room-filling audio, and lets users enjoy a TV watching experience that is “fine-tuned” to their content. For instance, in the “Movie Mode,” Boston's Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround lets consumers enjoy clear movie dialogue and music along with cinematic surround audio effects, while the “Music Mode” delivers enhanced digital stereo music reproduction. Perfectly sized for flat-panel TVs 32″ or larger, the TVee Model 25's soundbar achieves its stunning audio performance through the use of Boston Acoustics' low-distortion, wide-bandwidth
“HHRT” (Hyperbolic High Rigidity Transducer) driver technology. The light and rigid cone uses a highly complex shape to reduce distortion, widen the “sweet spot”, and enhance dynamic performance. The system's wireless subwoofer's 6-inch down firing bass driver complements the rich audio experience delivered by the soundbar's uniquely designed full range drivers.
