It’s about a type 2.1 equipment whose objective is to accompany our favorite television content, with three preset equalization modes for movies, music and conventional programming that adjust the frequency curves, offering a more balanced sound adapted to each situation.
Its sober and functional design is governed by a front with a metallic finish on the bar and by the large subwoofer that presents a configuration with the driver and the bass-reflex air outlet located at the rear of the loudspeaker, which will force us to place it with a certain distance from the wall if we do not want to obtain a too booming sound.
Connectivity is in charge of a HDMI port ARC-compatible main unit to send you soundtracks from the TV and with CEC to be able to control the volume level from the TV remote control. We also have digital optical port, analog input 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth interface.
