Description

It?s Compact
The Z-Base 525 is only 24 " wide by 12.5 " deep by 3 1/2 " high. Everything is inside this compact cabinet ? speakers, amplifier, virtual surround circuitry and powered subwoofer.

Simple Installation
The 525 requires only one connecting cord. Hook it up to the analog audio output jacks on your TV ? or the TV?s headphone jack ? and you?re virtually done. You can place the 525 directly beneath most 32 " flat panel TVs*, computer monitors or on a standard 12" deep bookshelf. * TV base should not exceed 23" in width or 11" in depth. TV should not exceed 90 pounds in weight. Safety instructions in Z-Base 525 Operating Instructions and in TV`s Operating Instructions should be closely examined and followed.

Simple To Use
If your TV has audio output jacks that can be set to "variable" (check your on-screen menu under "Audio" to see if you have this option), you can use your TV?s remote to control the 525 ?s sound. If not, use our supplied remote control. Our auto-on/auto-off circuit will turn the unit on about one second after you turn on your TV. Approximately three minutes after you turn off the TV, the ZVOX will go into "idle" mode. Volume, mute, PhaseCue (virtual surround), subwoofer level and treble are all controlled via our ZVOX remote. It couldn?t be simpler.

Virtual Surround Sound
The 525 uses ZVOX?s proprietary PhaseCue virtual surround system to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. With music, PhaseCue creates a very wide soundstage ? it literally sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will envelope you ? putting you in the middle of the action. While no virtual surround system ? including ours ? will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 525 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine says our PhaseCue system "mixes different combinations of the left- and right-channel signals in and out of phase and sends them to the various drivers to create an impressive spread of sound, far larger than the box itself?remarkably ingenious."

No Skimping On Speaker Quality
Most audio systems in our price category use very cheap speakers in plastic cabinets. But at ZVOX we?re "old school" about things like this. We use nothing but high quality speaker drivers, carefully designed by ZVOX engineers and manufactured to our specification. The 525 uses specially treated long-excursion main drivers. All speaker magnets are powerful Neodymium models that are magnetically shielded. The cabinet is MDF (medium density fiberboard), the same material uses in most high-end loudspeakers.
