Slim, stylish model 425 delivers hassle-free wireless home theater while producing incredibly
realistic sound – including bass down to 35Hz!
ZVOX is about to change how the world listens to TV with the model 425
single-cabinet home theater system. Only five inches deep, the new ZVOX
425 is a wall mounted surround system that combines elegant design and
compact dimensions with performance. Not much bigger than many center
channel speakers, the ZVOX 425 contains a powerful amplifier, five
speakers, two powered subwoofers and ZVOX’s exclusive PhaseCue virtual
surround circuitry.
“We believe we have developed the perfect audio system for use with
flat-panel TVs,” says ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher. “There’s no bulky
subwoofer to hide. No mass of connecting wires. No owner’s manual the
size of a phone book. The 425 is the first wall-mountable system that
puts everything in one cabinet – and it does so without sacrificing
performance. People are going to be shocked by how good it sounds.”
Designed by audio industry legend Winslow Burhoe, the 425 continues the
ZVOX tradition of exceptional quality sound from a single enclosure.
Vocals are clear and present, music is natural and realistic—the 425 is
true “high fidelity.” Surround effects seem to emanate from all over
the room and the bass is thunderous when called for—but still very,
very musical.
The perfect cure for flat-sounding flat TV’s
High
Definition flat-panel TVs are popular because of their terrific picture
quality and slim style, however their underwhelming audio quality has
left consumers seeking more accurate sound for music or movie
soundtracks. So how do you improve the flat-panel listening experience
without cluttering your viewing room with speaker boxes, wires and
subwoofers? Until now, it’s been almost impossible. The ZVOX 425 is the
only system that creates high-quality, full-range sound in a slim,
stylish, wall-mounted cabinet. Suggested retail selling price of the
ZVOX 425 is $599.99
Features and benefits of the ZVOX 425
•
Three 3.25-inch full-range monaural speakers – driven by their own
dedicated amplifier – deliver rich, natural vocals with stunning
clarity and realism.
• Two 3.25-inch full-range speakers work with
the ZVOX-exclusive PhaseCue system to create a very wide stereo
soundstage for music – you’ll swear you’re listening to speakers 10
feet apart from each other. The PhaseCue system also generates
remarkable, three-dimensional virtual surround sound effects with movie
soundtracks.
• All five 3.25-inch full-range drivers use Neodymium magnets and
ferrofluid to create very high sound pressure levels from compact
speakers.
• Two long-excursion 4-inch powered subwoofers reproduce accurate low
frequencies down to 35 Hz. These woofers generate outstanding bass
response — but because they are side-firing, they do not cause serious
wall vibrations.
• Unlike some virtual surround systems, the 425 reproduces music very
accurately — with no “digital weirdness.” Female vocalists sound warm,
rich and natural. Symphonic music sounds big and airy and awesome.
Movie soundtracks are delivered with startling realism. And all sound
is reproduced with a sense of distortion-free ease.
• The 425 is compact – only 37 inches wide x 7 inches high x 5 inches deep.
• The 425 is simple to install. It uses only one connecting cable to
hook up to the audio outputs or headphone jack of a TV. With its
convenient front-panel input, you can also use it with iPods, PCs,
satellite radios, portable CD players, game consoles – anything with a
headphone jack.
• The 425 is simple to use. Once connected to a TV, it can usually be
controlled using the TV’s remote. Its auto-on/auto-off circuit comes on
when you turn on your TV. The “owner’s manual” is one sheet of paper.
• The 425 uses the ZVOX Infinite Compliance system – which connects the
outer two speakers with an acoustic tube. This system helps create big
sound from a slim cabinet.
• The 425 is bi-amplified, using a specially designed Class D amplifier
that includes electronic contouring for superb frequency response.
• The system is magnetically shielded so it can be used near a TV or monitor.
• The 425 uses an MDF (medium density fiberboard) wood cabinet –
instead of plastic. MDF is the preferred construction material for
high-performance speakers.
• A credit card-sized remote controls volume, PhaseCue virtual surround, power on and mute.
• Auto-on/auto-off circuit senses sound from source (TV, iPod, PC) and
turns on the 425 two seconds later. Three minutes after it has received
no signal, it automatically puts the amplifier into standby mode.
• Simple, single-cord connecting system uses RCA stereo jacks on rear panel.
• Two connecting cords are included: one with a stereo mini jack, one with RCA jacks.
• The 425 will be available in two different grille colors: black and silver.
• The ZVOX 425 is backed by a one year limited parts and labor warranty.
