BOSTON ACOUSTICS MAKES TV SOUND BETTER – MUCH BETTER!

-- One-piece, Super Slim Soundbar Delivers Powerful Room Filling Audio and Impactful Bass --
Indianapolis, IN, September 5, 2012 — Boston Acoustics, Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of innovative home entertainment solutions and high performance loudspeakers, is making it easier than ever before to bring powerful audio performance and surround sound to any TV with its new TVee® 10 Soundbar (SRP: $199.99). The slim, space-saving TVee 10 soundbar provides powerful dynamic audio performance for movies, gaming, and music. Because the TVee 10 includes its own built-in 30-watt amplifier, a receiver is not required to enjoy the full sound benefits. And thanks to its impactful low-frequency capabilities, there’s no need for a separate subwoofer to complete the immersive audio experience. Designed for total ease-of-use and flexibility in today’s digital home entertainment environment, the “plug and play” TVee 10 features both digital and optical analog inputs as well as a mini stereo AUX input to connect mobile devices.

Ideal Solution Powerful Surround Sound – Right Out of the Box!
With a sleek new design less than 3 1/2 inches high and 3 inches deep – even smaller than previous Boston Acoustics soundbars, the TVee 10 is a simple solution for adding room-filling audio to virtually any TV. The super easy one-wire hook-up allows users to connect the soundbar directly to their TV in one simple step. As soon as the soundbar is plugged in, users can immediately start enjoying their new TV sound experience. Ideally sized for TVs 32” or larger, the TVee 10 features integrated keyhole-style wall mounts for total ease of set-up. The TVee 10 features touch sensitive front controls, and thanks to its remote-learning capability, it is designed to work seamlessly with a user’s existing remote control.

Boston Acoustics Audio Technologies Deliver Best-in-Class Performance
The TVee 10 features Dolby® Digital decoding and Boston Acoustics’ Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround (DOVS) processing for pinpoint, theater-like surround effects and room-filling audio. The system’s “Movie Mode” and “Music Mode” options allow users to easily optimize their soundscape, depending on content. The TVee 10’s soundbar achives its superior best-in-class audio performance through the use of Boston Acoustics’ low-distortion, wide-bandwidth “HHRT” (Hyperbolic High Rigidity Transducer) driver technology. The dual 2" x 5" drivers feature a light and rigid elliptical cone that uses a highly complex shape to reduce distortion and enhance dynamic performance. Boston’s unique BassTrac® circuitry ensures powerful low-frequency audio without distortion. Frequency range is 70 Hz to 20 kHz.

Noted Boston Acoustics Vice President and General Manager Mitch Nollman: “More and more, today’s high-performance flat-panel TV sets are becoming the hub of people’s home entertainment. Unfortunately, the audio from most flat-panel TVs these days is often of less-than-spectacular quality, and consumers are looking for simple ways to bring their audio performance up to the same level as their video. The TVee 10 is a simple, inexpensive, plug-and-play solution for getting powerful and immersive sound from your TV. With its new smaller form factor, and simple set-up option, consumers now have a great way to begin enjoying a powerful movie and musical experience – one that is perfect for any bedroom, den or game room.”

Everything about the TVee Model 10 is designed to be simple, intuitive, and totally flexible. The sleek unit includes a variety of key features designed to enhance your TV and Music experience including:
