ZVOX Z-Base 550 – A different kind of wireless home theater system
When most people think of a wireless home theater system, they are thinking about a surround sound system that transmits sound signals wirelessly across the room.
The ZVOX Z-Base 550 Single-Cabinet Surround System is, in its own way, a wireless home theater system too. Rather than have separate speakers and amplifier units, the ZVOX Z-Base 550 has everything built into a single unit. It is designed to be a pedestal for a flat panel TV and is a fully self-contained audio system.
It has a very minimalist design. There are no front controls – everything is controlled by remote, and there are only 2 audio inputs and 1 audio output at the back. With that kind of simplicity, set-up would be a breeze!
It doesn’t decode dolby digital or any other surround sound information, but it does its own kind of internal surround sound decoding. At a price of $500 it should be well within most budgets, and it has a pretty good review of sound quality. It is definitely worth checking out if you aren’t set on a full-blown surround system.
