ZVOX Audio's New ZVOX 325 Single-Cabinet Surround System Provides Alternative to Multi-Speaker Packages (16/10/2006)

Sophisticated new amplifier design & improved subwoofer for performance equal to expensive, highly-complicated home theater systems.

The rapidly-growing field of single-cabinet audio solutions for televisions has a bold new entry from a company that was a pioneer in the category. ZVOX Audio has targeted high-priced multi-speaker systems with their new Model 325 single-cabinet surround sound system. It features high-performance speakers, a sophisticated amplifier, powered subwoofer and PhaseCue(tm) virtual surround technology all in a box only 17" wide.

"Millions of people are buying cool new flat-panel TVs-only to discover that their sound is as flat as their pictures," says ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher. "But the appeal of flat-panel sets lies in their sleek, minimalist design. Nobody wants to mess that up with a bunch of speakers and wires. Our new ZVOX 325 delivers performance on par with expensive multi-speaker systems...but from a one small cabinet. It's the perfect way to add great sound to a flat panel TV."

Designed by veteran speaker engineer Winslow Burhoe, of the ZVOX 325 includes the following features:

* Small size: 17" x 16" x 5". It's the same width as a standard sized DVD player.
* Easy hookup - only one connecting wire.
* Simple operation-the "owner's manual" fits on one sheet of paper.
* Three precision-made 3.25" full-range speaker drivers in a PhaseCue(tm) array.
* ZVOX exclusive PhaseCue virtual surround system creates an ultra-wide soundstage-so it sounds like you are listening to speakers 8 feet apart from each other. PhaseCue system also generates virtual surround effects with movie soundtracks - without rear or side speakers.
* High-excursion 4"x6" powered subwoofer in bandpass cabinet designed with proprietary ZVOX software.
* Sophisticated amplification system that combines the benefits of electronic contouring and bi-amplification with special limiter circuits that prevent distortion.
* Front-panel input that allows the user to override the rear inputs so he/she can listen to an iPod(r) or other portable audio system.
* Credit card sized remote control for volume up/down and muting.

The latest in a series of anti-complicated audio systems, the 325 sets new standards of performance for simple, single-box home theater solutions. It's combination of high output level, strong bass response, small cabinet size and affordable price make it the ideal audio solution for flat-panel TVs 22"-50" in size.

ZVOX one-box audio systems sound great, fit anywhere and are ultra-simple to use. Our exclusive PhaseCue(tm) and Infinite Compliance(tm) technologies create an extremely wide, room-filling soundstage comparable to large systems with speakers 10-12 feet apart from each other. Our PhaseCue circuitry creates clearly-audible "virtual surround sound" effects with many movie soundtracks. But ZVOX systems can be as small as the average cable box - only 17" wide. Their built-in powered subwoofers deliver terrific, realistic bass for movies or movie soundtracks. You can connect the ZVOX 325 system to a TV, DVD player, CD player, iPod(r) or other MP3 player, satellite radio, clock radio or PC - anything with audio outputs or a headphone jack - and get wonderful, accurate, room-filling sound.
