-- Incorporating Innovative New “HHRT” Drivers Combined
with an Advanced Compact Wireless Subwoofer, Model 20 Provides Convenient and
Affordable “Plug and Play” Room-Filling Sound --
LAS VEGAS, January 6, 2010
-- Boston Acoustics®, a pioneer in both soundbar loudspeaker systems
and advanced wireless technology, today announced the upcoming release of its TVee
Model 20 Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer System (MAP: $299.99). Following
the success of the company’s TVee Model 2, the affordably priced TVee Model 20 utilizes
a slim soundbar and matching wireless subwoofer to add powerful, room-filling sound
and powerful bass to any television experience. The TVee Model 20 will also
deliver this improved television experience at a new lower price thanks to
Boston Acoustics’ innovative new “HHRT” (Hyperbolic High Rigidity Transducer) driver technology, and Boston’s engineering teams’ continued
value engineering efforts. The TVee Model 20 is scheduled to be available in
stores in March 2010.
Finished in satin black, and perfectly sized for TVs measuring
32 inches and up, the TVee Model 20’s sleek soundbar can be mounted on
the wall either above or below the TV, or can rest on any flat surface, and connects
to the TV’s line-level output with just a single cable. Listeners can place
the system’s wireless subwoofer anywhere in the room, even out of sight, which adds
to the system’s convenience and flexibility. The TVee 20 also features Boston’s
innovative remote Learning Function that learns the signal coming from a
user’s existing remote, thereby controlling the TVee’s volume and mute commands
without the need for an additional remote.
Boston Acoustics applied its years of experience with low-distortion, wide-bandwidth
drivers to create the new HHRT drivers featured in the TVee Model 20. The light
and rigid cone uses a new and 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 state-of-the-art, full range drivers. The total system power
is 100 watts (RMS).
Eli Harary, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Management
& Business Development for Boston Acoustics, noted: “We have experienced tremendous
success with the TVee Model 2 since its introduction in 2007. The popularity
of the product inspired us to update the system, offering the same simplicity of
functionality and high-quality audio as the Model 2, but at an even more attractive
and affordable price.”
