ZVOX 425 Single-Cabinet Surround System

More and more people are buying flat-panel TVs for their excellent picture quality and slim design. But what do you use for a sound system? The TV speakers don’t give you the high quality sound you want, yet you don’t want to clutter your living room with speakers, wires and subwoofers. To the rescue is the ZVOX 425 home theater system.

The ZVOX 425 combines five speakers, two powered subwoofers, a 133-watt amplifier and the ZVOX exclusive PhaseCue virtual surround sound system – all in one cabinet not much larger than center channel speakers. It is a wall mounted surround system, perfect for use with flat-panel TVs.

To make it even better, the 425 is easy to install. It uses only one cable to hook up to the audio outputs or headphone jack of a TV. With its front-panel input, it can also be used with iPods, PCs, satellite radios, portable CD players, game consoles – anything with a headphone jack.

ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher said, “We believe we have developed the perfect audio system for use with flat-panel TVs. 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.”

Additional features:

• Three 3.25” full-range monaural speakers – driven by their own dedicated amplifier – deliver rich, natural vocals with stunning clarity and realism.
  
• Two 3.25” 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.
• Two long-excursion 4” 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.
  
• The 425 is compact – only 37”w x 7”h x 5”d.
  
• 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 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.
• Two connecting cords are included: one with a stereo mini jack, one with RCA jacks.
• The ZVOX 425 is backed by a one year limited parts and labor warranty.
