About the Boston Acoustics TVee Model 26
Have you shopped TVs lately? They're more of a visual feast than ever before. They're bright, sharp as a tack, and thin. Great news for your eyes; not such great news for your ears. Good speakers seldom have anywhere to hide on these new, sleek models, meaning your TV's great visual quality is way under-supported by the on-board sound. That's why this Boston Acoustics TVee Model 26 sound bar makes such good sense. With a minimum, and we mean minimum (plugging in one audio wire in most instances) of effort, you can up the sound quality of your beautiful TV from anemic to fantastic, paying off that clear, detailed picture with sound to match.
Boston Acoustics hasn't forgotten that many of us are giving our mobile media players a chance to belt out some music as well. That's why this sound bar comes with two available analog stereo miniplug inputs, so (once again) one wire will take care of everything. What do you get when you mix awesome simplicity with musical, all-encompassing sound? The TVee Model 26 is one of the few correct answers to this question. Hook one up. And time yourself doing it if you want some additional satisfaction. Couldn't be easier.

Features
Overview: The Boston Acoustics TVee 26 is a two-piece home theater entertainment system that consists of a soundbar speaker and wireless subwoofer with virtual surround sound. The TVee 26 offers dramatically better sound quality than your flat-panel TV's built-in speakers. The soundbar & wireless subwoofer system brings powerful and dynamic audio to your movies, music, and games. There is only one cable which connects the system to your television and you can control it with your TV's remote.
150 Watt (RMS) System Power: The soundbar and wireless subwoofer are self-powered and each are equipped with its own built-in amplifier. The TVee 26 features a total system power of 150 watts to drive both the soundbar and wireless subwoofer. With a total system power of 150 watts, the TVee 26 virtual surround sound speaker system envelops you in rich, room-filling audio.
Soundbar Speaker: The TVee 26's soundbar achieves its stunning audio performance through the use of Boston's low-distortion, wide-bandwidth HHRT (Hyperbolic High Rigidity Transducer) driver technology. The Boston Acoustics TVee 26 soundbar is equipped with dual 2" x 5" HHRT (Hyperbolic High-Rigidity Transducer) drivers inside a bass-reflex enclosure made of ABS plastic. The soundbar can be placed above or below your flat-panel TV. It should be centered with your television. There are two large keyhole slots (22.75" apart) to facilitate mounting it on a wall (mounting template supplied).
Wireless Subwoofer: The wireless-powered subwoofer is equipped with a down-firing 6.5" woofer inside a bass-reflex enclosure with a down-firing 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 26 system's 6.5" down-firing wireless subwoofer delivers deep and powerful bass. The TVee 26's powered subwoofer gets its signal from the system's soundbar wirelessly (2.4 GHz), so it can be placed virtually anywhere in the room (up to 25').
Digital Optimized Virtual Surround (DOVS): The TVee 26 features Boston's Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround (DOVS) processing for pinpoint, theater-like, surround sound. Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround (DOVS) technology from Boston Acoustics uses sophisticated digital processing to create a fully immersive, cinema-quality sound experience, whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game. DOVS decodes the full, Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio signal from the source material and applies a proprietary process to derive the ideal 2.1-channel version of the original surround sound mix. You can indicate whether you have table-top or wall-mounted the soundbar speaker for better imaging. The soundbar's exclusive Boston DSP control switch maximizes performance for movies and music.
- Movie Mode: In the Movie Mode, Boston's Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround delivers clear movie dialogue and music along with cinematic surround audio effects.
- Music Mode: The Music Mode provides enhanced digital stereo music reproduction.
BassTrac Circuitry: The powered subwoofer utilizes BassTrac circuitry for tight, distortion-free bass at all output levels. `
One Wire TV Connection: The TVee 26's soundbar speaker connects to your television with either a single stereo RCA cable or optical digital cable (also requires AC power). You can get this signal from your TV's audio output, or from your satellite/cable box. The powered subwoofer gets its signal wirelessly (2.4 GHz) from the soundbar; it only requires plugging into an AC outlet.
- Analog Stereo: The soundbar speaker features two analog stereo minijack (3.5mm) inputs to connect your TV, sat/cable box, or other audio/video component.
- Digital Optical: The soundbar speaker also features an optical digital input for Dolby Digital decoding from your connected TV or sat/cable box.
Volume Controls: The soundbar speaker is equipped with front-mounted volume controls and comes with an IR remote control. You can also program your television's or satellite/cable box's remote control to operate the soundbar's volume. The wireless subwoofer features a rear-panel independent volume control (min-max).
Trim Level Switch: The soundbar's trim-level switch changes the input sensitivity (1-3) of the TV 26 to match the output level of your TV or satellite/cable box.
