ZVOX Updates Lineup with New Soundbars and Soundbar Stands

Written on Sep 8, 2009 by Brian and filed under News, ZVOX Audio

ZVOX has released a series of new products at CEDIA this year including a pair of new soundbars, an upgraded soundbar speaker stand combo and a smaller soundbar stand for the bedroom or office.

All of ZVOX’s new products leverage their PhaseQue simulated surround sound system, which we think plays some of the best audio tricks in the business. This coupled with new subwoofer technology should continue to make ZVOX one of the best buys when it comes to high-quality sound jammed into a small, single package.

ZVOX 430 and 440

The ZVOX 430 and 440 are the latest in their line of high-performance soundbars. Both units feature wood cabinets, high quality speakers and an internal 4″ subwoofer. The 430 is 30.5″ wide, making it ideal for TVs 32″-42″ in diameter; the 440 is 39″ wide, making it ideal for TVs 40″-52″ in diameter.

ZVOX 430 and 440 Features:

• All three 3.25” full-range drivers use Neodymium magnets and ferrofluid to create very high sound pressure levels from compact speakers
• One 3.25” full-range all-channel speaker
• Two 3.25” full-range speakers
• Long-excursion 4” powered subwoofer in a tuned enclosure reproduces accurate low frequencies down to 48 Hz (ZVOX 430) or 43 Hz (ZVOX 440)
• Simple to install, with only one connecting cable to hook up to the audio outputs or headphone jack of a TV
• Rear-panel (mixing) input can be used to connect an iPod, PC or any other audio device
• Bi-amplified, using a specially designed amplifier that includes electronic contouring for superb frequency response
• Magnetically shielded
• Included remote controls volume, PhaseCue virtual surround level, subwoofer level, treble, power on and mute
• Auto-on/auto-off circuit senses sound from the TV and turns on the system two seconds later

The ZVOX 430 and 440 are available now for $449.99 and $549.99 respectively.
