ZVOX Z-Base 220

Only about the size of a DVD player, the Z-Base 220 system can fill your room with rich, satisfying 3D sound -- including thumping bass response -- with no external speakers, subwoofers or speaker wires! The 220's sound quality is excellent because we use high performance speakers and amplifiers. And unlike any other sound bar in its price category, the Z-Base 220 uses a wood (MDF) cabinet -- not plastic. Our exclusive PhaseCue II technology creates three-dimensional surround sound without external speakers and wires.

You can fit the 220 on a shelf below the TV or, depending on the size of your TV, you can put it under your TV set. Hookup is super-simple -- just one connecting wire and a one-page owner's manual. You can even teach the ZVOX 220 to respond to your TV or cable box remote control!

If you want great TV sound without the complexity...without the mess....and without the high price, the Z-Base 220 is the right choice for you.

Incredibly Clear Voice
ZVOX's Dialog Emphasis feature uses hearing aid technology to make voices unbelievably clear. It's amazing.

Tame Loud Commercials
Tired of commercials that blast you out of your chair? ZVOX's Output Leveling feature reacts instantly and turns them down to a lower level. You'll love it.

PhaseCue® II Virtual Surround Sound
The 220 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround processing to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music.. While no virtual surround system - including ours - will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 220 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine calls our PhaseCue processing "remarkably ingenious."

Disappearing Display
The 220 features a four-digit display located behind the speaker grille that shows the current setting for volume, bass, treble and PhaseCue II® (virtual surround) - and also shows when you have engaged the Mute, Output Leveling (OL) or Dialog Emphasis (DE) features. A few seconds after you stop using your remote (or front panel) controls, the display disappears completely.

Uses Your Remote Control
The Z-Base system can be programmed to respond to your remote control. The illuminated display walks you through a less-than-a-minute programming cycle. Then your TV remote...or cable box remote...or satellite receiver remote...or ANY remote...can control volume, mute, power and input functions of the ZVOX system.

Multiple Inputs...including front-panel connection for iPod® and other portable devices.
The 220 has two analog audio inputs, one optical (Toslink) digital input, one coaxial digital input - plus a front panel 3.5mm analog stereo input for convenient connection of your iPod or other portable audio device. Any specific input can be selected using either the remote control or the slim-line module below the speaker grille.

Just Plain Great Sound
The most important feature for any home theater system is high quality sound. The 220 uses premium quality speakers and amplifiers and was designed by our team of "New England Sound" speaker designers. We think you will be amazed at just how good such a small system can sound.
