Design

Whether you choose to mount it on the wall or place it on a TV unit, it doesn’t draw too much attention to itself but will also bring a bit of style to your home. It has a brushed finish top, which fortunately doesn’t create too much reflection when it sits below the TV screen.

It’s a good choice for both watching TV and movies and for listening to music.

As it’s ready for wireless surround sound, you can also connect it to other speakers without the wires and cables.
