Features

Overview: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 20 is a two-piece television entertainment enhancement system. It consists of a self-powered soundbar that can be placed above or below the TV, and a matching wireless-powered subwoofer. The TVee Model 20 offers dramatically better sound quality than your flat-panel HDTV's built-in speakers. There is only one cable which connects the system to your television and you can control it with your TV's remote. The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 20 is perfectly sized for TVs 32-inches and up. 

Soundbar: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 20 soundbar is equipped with dual 1-1/2" x 6" HHRT (Hyperbolic High-Rigidity Tranducer) drivers inside a bass-reflex enclosure made of ABS plastic. The TVee Model 20's soundbar is perfectly sized for TV screens of 32" or more. It is designed to be centered with the television's screen. It can be placed in front of the TV, or on a shelf right above if the TV is housed in a cabinet. There are two large keyhole slots to facilitate mounting it on a wall. The soundbar is equipped with a black cloth removable grille.

Wireless Subwoofer: The wireless-powered subwoofer is equipped with a down-firing 6" woofer inside a bass-reflex enclosure with a downfiring 2.25" (diameter) port. The wireless subwoofer's enclosure is made of ABS and has been internally braced with MDF to eliminate resonance. The TVee Model 20's bass unit gets its signal from the soundbar wirelessly (2.4 GHz), so it can be placed virtually anywhere in the room (up to 25').

80 Watt System Power: The soundbar and wireless subwoofer are self-powered and each are equipped with its own built-in amplifier. The TVee Model 20 features a total system power of 80 watts to drive both the soundbar and wireless subwoofer.

3D Sound Processing Circuitry: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 20 features 3D sound processing circuitry for exciting three-dimensional sound that you cannot get from simply your TV's built-in speakers.

One Connection: All the TVee Model 20 needs is a stereo audio signal fed into the soundbar (40" stereo RCA cable included). You can get this signal from your TV's audio output, or from your satellite or cable box (the soundbar also requires AC power). The powered subwoofer gets its signal wirelessly (2.4 GHz) from the soundbar; it only requires plugging into an AC outlet.

Wireless ID Switches: Both the soundbar and subwoofer have wireless ID switches, The various switch settings (1-4) change frequency of the wireless signal the soundbar sends to the subwoofer. The two switches must be set to the same position.

Simple Controls: The soundbar has three top-mounted controls: Power, Mute, and Volume Up/Down. If the input signal from your TV or cable box is variable, the TVee Model 20's sound will vary when you change the volume using the TV or Cable Box remote. If the input signal is a constant level, you can "teach" the TVee Model 20 to respond to your TV's remote control. The wireless subwoofer also features a rear-panel independent volume control.

Trim Level Switch: The soundbar's trim-level switch changes the input sensitivity (1-3) of the TV Model 20 to match the output level of your TV or satellite/cable box.

Auto Power: The power switches on the back of the soundbar and subwoofer can be left on. The TVee Model 20 has an automatic power standby system. After about 15 minutes of inactivity, the built-in amplifiers shut down. As soon as a signal is applied to the inputs of the TVee Model 20, the integrated amplifiers turn on again.
