Features
Overview: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 is a two-piece home
theater entertainment system that consists of a soundbar speaker and wireless
subwoofer with virtual surround sound and Bluetooth connectivity for audio
streaming. The TVee Model 30 offers dramatically
better sound quality than your flat-panel TV'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 TVee Model 30 is even equipped with an auxiliary
input and built-in Bluetooth for connection of other external audio sources. The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 is perfectly sized for
flat-panel TVs 40" or larger.
Soundbar Speaker: The TVee Model 30's soundbar
achieves its stunning audio performance through the use of three 3.5" Fiber
Ceramic Copolymer Material (FCCM) mid-bass drivers and three 0.75" dome
tweeters loaded in a bass-reflex enclosure, with three front-firing ports. The soundbar can be placed
above or below your 40" or larger
flat-panel TV. It should be centered with your television. There are two large
keyhole slots (22.8125" apart) to facilitate mounting it on a wall (mounting
template supplied).
Wireless Subwoofer: The wireless-powered subwoofer is equipped with a
front-firing 7" FCCM (Fiber Ceramic Copolymer Material) woofer inside a bass-reflex enclosure with a
front-firing port. The wireless subwoofer's enclosure is made of ABS and has
been internally braced with MDF to eliminate resonance. The TVee Model 30 system's 7"
front-firing wireless subwoofer delivers deep and powerful bass. The TVee Model
30's powered subwoofer gets its signal from the system's soundbar wirelessly
(5.8 GHz), so it can be placed virtually anywhere in the room (up to 50'). Plus,
the compact wireless subwoofer can be placed either vertically or horizontally.
Note: 4 self-adhesive rubber feet are included to help prevent
against vibration.
300 Watt (Peak) System Power: The soundbar and wireless subwoofer are
self-powered and each are equipped with its own built-in amplifier. The TVee
Model 30 features a total system power of 300 watts to drive both the soundbar
and wireless subwoofer. With a total system power of 300 watts, the TVee Model
30 virtual surround sound speaker system envelops you in rich, room-filling
audio.
Digital Optimized Virtual Surround: The TVee Model 30 features
Boston's digitally optimized virtual surround processing for pinpoint,
theater-like, surround sound. 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.

Virtual Surround delivers clear movie dialogue and music along with
cinematic surround audio effects.

reproduction.
One Wire TV Connection: The TVee Model 30'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 an analog stereo RCA
input to connect your TV or sat/cable box.
- Digital Optical: The soundbar speaker also features an optical
digital input for Dolby Digital decoding from your connected TV or sat/cable
box.
Bluetooth Audio Streaming: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 features built-in Bluetooth (v2.1+EDR) and
supports the Bluetooth A2DP (v1.2) profile. The TVee Model 30 allows you to
stream audio from your Bluetooth enabled device, such as a smart-phone or
computer. The TVee Model 30 can be paired to more than one device (although only
one such device can play music via Bluetooth at one time). Once you have paired
your device, the TVee Model 30 will automatically search for available paired
devices when you select the unit's Bluetooth input. Typical range is up to 33
feet.
Note: This unit does
not control playback functions of your Bluetooth enabled device. Not all
Bluetooth devices will be compatible.
Auxiliary Input: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 features a stereo
auxiliary (3.5mm) input to connect your portable MP3 player or other
mobile audio device.

soundbar speaker is equipped with front-mounted volume controls. 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 Model 30 to match the output level of your
TV or satellite/cable box.
Wireless ID Switches: The wireless subwoofer connects to the
soundbar automatically. 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.
