About the AudioXperts 4TV Model 5122
Exceptional or subtle? Or both?
Exceptional or subtle? Or both?
When you find yourself in the presence of something truly exceptional, you know it. Sometimes exceptional can be understated and simple, like the AudioXperts 4TV Model 5122 audio console. It's a true 5.1 surround sound system with a separate wireless subwoofer, housed in an almost unbelievably slim smoked-glass and aluminum enclosure that looks like nothing so much as a fine piece of exclusive Scandinavian interior design. You might think that something so explicitly minimalist might be baffling to control, but you'd be mistaken. An ultra-modern, touch-sensitive panel gives you direct input to the system, and the 5122 also learns your TV remote control in seconds.
Hidden power
And the sound is invitingly immersive. The technology behind it is decidedly not minimalist. The 5122 has a class-leading 800 watts of peak power (500 watts RMS) at its beck and call. This means the console has all the resources it needs to reproduce anything from a feature movie's tip-toeing footstep to a global asteroid collision without batting a figurative eyelid. This power drives three fabric dome tweeters, ten H.A.R.T. (High Aspect Ratio Transducer) drivers (two for each channel) for exceptional clarity in the midrange frequencies, and eight 4.5-inch long-throw woofers in the wireless sub for powerful bass. Your music and movies have never had it so good.
The AudioXperts 4TV 5122's wireless subwoofer stacks underneath the main unit, or stands vertically on supplied feet
With three listening modes (music, movie, and enhanced dialogue), you'll always have a profile appropriate to the entertainment you've chosen. Enhanced dialogue mode, in particular, is handy if your ears are more, how shall I put this, experienced. The whispers and mutterings in suspense movies won't go missing anymore. And Volume Level Monitoring keeps levels consistent so you don't have to watch TV with the remote in your hand.
A visually simple design, plus built-in Bluetooth® for music streaming
The main audio console is designed to sit directly under your TV, and its built-in swivel base lets you easily rotate the screen as needed for a better view. The wireless subwoofer has almost the exact same dimensions as the main console, so it can be stacked underneath, or mounted vertically on included feet in any convenient spot in the room with a power outlet. The console has a dedicated USB input for Apple® iOS® devices, plus built-in Bluetooth® with advanced aptX® audio coding for wirelessly streaming music from a compatible computer, smartphone, or tablet. Digital and analog inputs enable you to set this system up in mere minutes with practically any TV. What did we say about exceptional sometimes being simple? Enjoy playing your music and movies, not playing with them.
Note: The 4TV console includes a power-saving auto standby mode that engages if the unit detects no audio signal for 10 minutes. To wake the unit, either (1) press the designated power button on a remote that has been "learned" by the 4TV, or (2) wave your hand in front of the sensor window (near the middle of the console), then press the power button on top of the console.

Features
500W RMS/800W Peak 5.1ch System: The AudioXperts 4TV model 5122 is a two-piece, 5.1ch music & surround sound system. The model 5122 includes a true 5.1-channel surround sound console and a separate wireless powered subwoofer. The model 5122 provides 500 watts (RMS) and 800 watts (Peak) of system power for exceptional dynamic range. The speaker system supports Dolby Digital/DTS decoding and provides virtual surround for 2ch sources. The system features a host of connection and control options, as well as iPod/iPhone and Bluetooth music streaming capabilities. The AudioXperts 4TV model 5122 integrates perfectly with today's flat-panel LCD & Plasma televisions.
- Surround Sound Console (13 Custom Drivers): The 5.1ch surround sound console provides "component-level" 5.1ch audio performance and is designed to fit directly under your flat-panel television, or on top of a furniture cabinet below a wall hung flat-panel TV. The surround sound console houses three 1" dome tweeters and six patent-pending HART drivers for the front left/center/right channels, plus four additional patent-pending HART drivers for dipole surround channels.
- Wireless Powered Subwoofer (Eight SSHO Woofers): The separate wireless powered subwoofer houses eight 4.5" SSHO long-throw woofers for deep bass extension. The powered sub receives its LFE signal wirelessly from the surround sound console via 5.8GHz. The subwoofer offers independent volume control and phase switch (0°/180°). The wireless powered subwoofer discreetly fits vertically against a wall, horizontally on the floor, or directly under the main console.
Smoked Glass/Aluminum Enclosures w/ Swivel Base: Both the Surround Sound Console and Wireless Powered Subwoofer feature an enclosure made of aluminum and smoked glass. Unlike soundbars and conventional surround sound systems, which are typically fixed into place, the model 5122 console's built-in swivel base improves the user's television viewing experience by allowing you to easily rotate the console and television to the preferred listening and viewing angle. The audio entertainment console will hold up to 125 lbs with the swivel base, or 175 lbs without the swivel base.
Dolby Digital/DTS Decoding: The AudioXperts 4tv model 5122 system will decode Dolby Digital & DTS soundtracks through its optical (toslink) and coaxial (RCA) digital audio inputs. The speaker system also offers stereo RCA and 3.5mm analog audio inputs.
Listening Modes: The model 5122 offers three different listening modes to best suit your audio/video content and listening preference.
- Movie Mode: Best suited for listening to movies, sports, and games.
- Music Mode: Best suited for listening to music, concerts, and music videos.
- Enhanced-Dialogue: Improves dialogue intelligibility when watching movies, TV show, or news program.
SRS TruVolume: SRS TruVolume provides listeners with consistent volume level while watching movies, TV programs, and commercials.
iPod Direct USB Port: The AudioXperts model 5122 is equipped with a rear-panel USB (type-A) port for connection of select Apple iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

You will continue to control your music from your Apple device's clickwheel or touchscreen, and view metadata information from your iPod/iPhone/iPad's LCD screen (the model 5122 does not offer music control or metadata display). Your Apple device will be charged during USB connection. The unit's USB port is only compatible with select Apple iPods, iPhones, and iPads (it is not compatible with USB thumbdrives or other USB mass storage class devices). Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad compatibility (as of 3/13/2013):
