Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter

Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system.

Our take on the Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30

by Marshall Chase

Your trail guide through the backwoods of sound
The picture is clear on that great new HDTV, but the sound — not so much. Dialogue gets lost in a forest of booms and hisses and musical crescendos leaving you alone in the woods wondering what just happened. Rest easy. Boston's slender TVee Model 30 surpasses TV speaker performance with a clarity that will capably escort you through any on-screen adventure.

A cure for the "nest of connectors" syndrome
The Model 30 connects easily to your TV with a single, included digital or analog cable. If your TV has an optical digital output, use the sound bar's digital input to take advantage of its Dolby® Digital decoding — you'll enjoy more accurate movie dialogue from its dedicated center-channel drivers. The RCA stereo analog input lets you connect TVs without a digital output. And the Model 30's compact wireless subwoofer adds all those exciting rumbles to action flicks and dramas allowing easy placement vertically or horizontally anywhere in the room. The sound bar has keyhole slots for simple wall mounting, or just place it at the base of your TV. And the TVee Model 30 learns the volume and mute commands of your existing TV remote control, so there'll be one less clicker to go AWOL.

It's attuned to your tunes
The TVee Model 30 has a real affinity for music. There's a side minijack input for your portable player. And built-in Bluetooth® lets you stream music from your compatible smartphone or MP3 player so you can listen to your favorites with ease. Wired or wireless, the Model 30's dedicated music mode will serenade you beautifully.

    Sound bar:
    • Dolby® Digital decoding and Boston Virtual Surround processing for clear-sounding dialogue and special effects

      Features

      Overview: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 is a two-piece home theater entertainment system that consists of a soundbar speaker and wireless subwoofer with virtual surround sound and Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. The TVee Model 30 offers dramatically better sound quality than your flat-panel TV's built-in speakers. There is only one cable which connects the system to your television and you can control it with your TV's remote. The TVee Model 30 is even equipped with an auxiliary input and built-in Bluetooth for connection of other external audio sources. The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 is perfectly sized for flat-panel TVs 40" or larger.

      Soundbar Speaker: The TVee Model 30's soundbar achieves its stunning audio performance through the use of three 3.5" Fiber Ceramic Copolymer Material (FCCM) mid-bass drivers and three 0.75" dome tweeters loaded in a bass-reflex enclosure, with three front-firing ports. The soundbar can be placed above or below your 40" or larger flat-panel TV. It should be centered with your television. There are two large keyhole slots (22.8125" apart) to facilitate mounting it on a wall (mounting template supplied).

      Wireless Subwoofer: The wireless-powered subwoofer is equipped with a front-firing 7" FCCM (Fiber Ceramic Copolymer Material) woofer inside a bass-reflex enclosure with a front-firing port. The wireless subwoofer's enclosure is made of ABS and has been internally braced with MDF to eliminate resonance. The TVee Model 30 system's 7" front-firing wireless subwoofer delivers deep and powerful bass. The TVee Model 30's powered subwoofer gets its signal from the system's soundbar wirelessly (5.8 GHz), so it can be placed virtually anywhere in the room (up to 50'). Plus, the compact wireless subwoofer can be placed either vertically or horizontally.

      Note: 4 self-adhesive rubber feet are included to help prevent against vibration.

      300 Watt (Peak) System Power: The soundbar and wireless subwoofer are self-powered and each are equipped with its own built-in amplifier. The TVee Model 30 features a total system power of 300 watts to drive both the soundbar and wireless subwoofer. With a total system power of 300 watts, the TVee Model 30 virtual surround sound speaker system envelops you in rich, room-filling audio.

      Digital Optimized Virtual Surround: The TVee Model 30 features Boston's digitally optimized virtual surround processing for pinpoint, theater-like, surround sound. You can indicate whether you have table-top or wall-mounted the soundbar speaker for better imaging. The soundbar's exclusive Boston DSP control switch maximizes performance for movies and music.

      • Movie Mode: In the Movie Mode, Boston's Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround delivers clear movie dialogue and music along with cinematic surround audio effects.
      • Music Mode: the Music Mode provides enhanced digital stereo music reproduction.

      One Wire TV Connection: The TVee Model 30's soundbar speaker connects to your television with either a single stereo RCA cable or optical digital cable (also requires AC power). You can get this signal from your TV's audio output, or from your satellite/cable box. The powered subwoofer gets its signal wirelessly (2.4 GHz) from the soundbar; it only requires plugging into an AC outlet.

      • Analog Stereo: The soundbar speaker features an analog stereo RCA input to connect your TV or sat/cable box.
      • Digital Optical: The soundbar speaker also features an optical digital input for Dolby Digital decoding from your connected TV or sat/cable box.

      Bluetooth Audio Streaming: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 features built-in Bluetooth (v2.1+EDR) and supports the Bluetooth A2DP (v1.2) profile. The TVee Model 30 allows you to stream audio from your Bluetooth enabled device, such as a smart-phone or computer. The TVee Model 30 can be paired to more than one device (although only one such device can play music via Bluetooth at one time). Once you have paired your device, the TVee Model 30 will automatically search for available paired devices when you select the unit's Bluetooth input. Typical range is up to 33 feet.

      Note: This unit does not control playback functions of your Bluetooth enabled device. Not all Bluetooth devices will be compatible.

      Auxiliary Input: The Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 features a stereo auxiliary (3.5mm) input to connect your portable MP3 player or other mobile audio device.

      Volume Controls: The soundbar speaker is equipped with front-mounted volume controls. You can also program your television's or satellite/cable box's remote control to operate the soundbar's volume. The wireless subwoofer features a rear-panel independent volume control (min-max).

      Trim Level Switch: The soundbar's trim-level switch changes the input sensitivity (1-3) of the TV Model 30 to match the output level of your TV or satellite/cable box.

      Wireless ID Switches: The wireless subwoofer connects to the soundbar automatically. Both the soundbar and subwoofer have wireless ID switches, The various switch settings (1-4) change frequency of the wireless signal the soundbar sends to the subwoofer. The two switches must be set to the same position.

      Lasted 368 days

      Written By BradDo, Redmond, WA on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
       
      I wanted a true 5.1 surround system, the wife wanted something small and unobtrusive. We shopped around and argued for months looking for a solution we could both agree on. The Boston TVee 30 was one of the only sound bars I would consider owning and was the lowest priced one on my short list.

      Since I showed some interest in this product I received it as a surprise Christmas gift in 2011. Sound quality was okay but definitely does not justify its high price point. Although I was disappointed in the sound quality I decided to suck it up and keep it rather than return it and continue fighting for the 5.1 system I really wanted. My wife was really excited and proud of the surprise gift she got me.

      Bluetooth streaming was one of the primary selling points to me however for the first 8 months of ownership bluetooth streaming was incompatible with Apple products. Apple finally released an update recently that fixed bluetooth connectivity issues so you can now stream audio from your Apple device.

      Remote issues were irritating when sitting in any seat in my living room other than the one directly in front of the sound bar.

      December 28th 2012, (1 year + 3 days) after opening the product the subwoofer quit working. I called Boston to see if they would work with me on warranty repair since I was so close to the one year mark. Their response was too bad for you, its over 1 year we won't fix it under warranty.

      At least now I can get what I wanted originally.
      Pros:
      Bluetooth audio streaming Wireless subwoofer Audio quality better than TV manufacturer brand sound bars.
      Cons:
      Quit working after 1 year. Remote must be perfectly perpendicular to the soundbar. Sound quality did not meet my expectations for a product at this price point.

      Hands down a rock solid soundbar that sounds great with both and videos.
      Pros:
      Quick and easy setup. Crisp high's, mid's and just enough bass to not be too overwhelming.
      Cons:
      Lack of a remote. For the price you'd assume one would be included... The range on the Bluetooth could be better.

      Beward of Warranty/Repairs

      Written By ArtinTampa, Tampa Bay on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
       
      First let me start by saying that the sound is incredible. I love the soundbar. Great sound, easy set up and very attractive.

      Three months after owning it the soundbar stopped working. It was a new unit, not used, refurbished etc. I contacted Boston Acoustics and they wanted me to ship it back. It cost 78 dollars to ship it. About two weeks later I received it back. It was not my original equipment. The grid had a bad smudge/stain that took quite some time to make it presentable. The subwoofer returned to them had non of the 'feet' permanently glued on. The one mailed back to me had the 'feet' glued on to bottom. It is a refurbished unit. Miy subwoofer was always placed on the side. On top of that, it has a ding on the bottom. Mine was mailed in pristine shape.

      I contacted them immediately and explained that the equipment I received was refurbished when I mailed brand new, not scratch and dent or refurbished equipment. It took them several months and several phone calls and emails for them to decide to replace the subwoofer. I received an email with a Fedex label. I called and asked how long it would take to get my subwoofer back once it's returned. They said 2 to 4 weeks!! I have been dealing with this since May, yes May! I expressed my shock that it could take 4 weeks and the person didn't seem to care.
      Pros:
      Great sounding system. Mouth dropping
      Cons:
      Supporting personnel and polices

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      The unit arrived well packaged and within 3 days of shipping. Installed the unit in a cabinet above a flat screen. Used the optical digital cable. Sound from the bar speaker was erratic with sound levels going up and down with popping at various times. Removed the cable and installed the analog cables. With both cables connected sound was barely over a whisper. Remove one of the analog cables and could get good sound out of one side only. Programming the sound bar to accept the TV's remote was easy and worked good. However the remote has to be aimed directly at the sound bar. Any offset in angle from dead on and the sound bar would not receive the signal Subwoofer produced good sound with a wide range of adjustment.

      Great Soundbar by Boston Accoustics

      Written By Shawn, Detroit, MI on Saturday, April 28, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      If have no complaints about the quality of the sound from the TVee Model 30, it sounds incredible! I bought this despite the fact that there were a lot of complaints about the remote and bluetooth issues not working properly. Compared to the other soundbars this was the best that fit my needs for my home setup. The only downside is that I did have the remote issue when I first got my soundbar as many people had complained about it. It was pretty bad, but after calling Crutchfield and Boston I sent the unit back and now the remote issue works without a hitch. The range and angle problem have completely gone away. I would have to say Boston Accoustics service and support were great when it came to sending the unit back and returning it quickly. I just wish the unit didn't have the remote problem initially. If you like the unit enough, which in my opinion is worth it, be prepared to send it back for $50.00 and have them fix the IR sensor for you.
      Pros:
      Great sound, easy setup, and bluetooth capable.
      Cons:
      Having to send the unit back and pay $50.00 shipping cost to have the remote problem fixed... wasn't too happy about that.

      Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30

      Written By Mark, Hawaii on Wednesday, April 25, 2012
       
      The TVee works well! Clear and rich sound; far better sound the TV unit alone. Not surround, but even having lived with good surround at my last place, I find this soundbar satisfying and good enough this time around. I loved the easy set up (no speaker wires) and the wireless sub-woofer, which adds surprisingly good base. The remote worked just fine for me, though I must be within 20-30 degrees of directly in front of the soundbar. For my installation, this was not a problem, that is where we sit, but if you must control it from a seriously oblique angle, your remote may not work too well. I would buy again.
      Pros:
      Easy to set up. Flexible: can source from TV, analog or bluetooth. Good sound.
      Cons:
      Not true surround, but can't expect that for this price point.

      Written By Stygz, Bonaire, GA on Thursday, April 12, 2012
       
      Update to my review after 9 months of use. I was disappoined when I got a new Ipod touch for christmas and the bluetooth feature did not work as I had 0S 5. As of March 10th there is a new update to apple software for Ipod and Ipad. OS 5.1 update now allows you to pair you apple device to the TVee 30. Dont forget the pairing code is 0000 for first time bluetooth connection. Still a great soundbar after all these months!

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Soud is great considering it is a sound bar. I located the speaker system on a speaker shelf above a LG TV. The setup was easy and programming my remote was easy. Conversely, the sensitivity of the infrared located in the speaker was very poor. A Crutchfield technical representative was 70% helpful 70% correcting this problem. He was somewhat surprised that Boston Acoustic did not correct this well known problem prior to shipping this product.
      Pros:
      Great sound and easy setup.
      Cons:
      Sensitivity of the remote; SERIOUS issues with remote control sensitivity - Soundbar grille should have an open port for the remote sensor (grille blocks some of the remote signal) -

      BA SOUNDBAR

      Written By HOPEA, LEESBURG FL on Sunday, March 25, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I am happy with the wonderful sound and the way the wireless sub lends bass. The unit is simple and sleek. A;lot has been said about remote issues so I connected my unit to my comcast dvr cable box audio out and this solved that. Every time it turns on or off the unit auto feature does the same and volume remains as set. Did have to set the trim to a lower setting as sensitive and make sure the soundbar and woofer are on the same id number .Bluetooth a bit hard to set. I have used the sony soundbar and love my zvok555 for the bedrooms, but I honestly feel this is the best unit for clear home theater sound out there. The sony can not deliver for me as well as the 300watts from BA. All have there odd issues. It would be best to have a remote to this unit with option for cable remote. Love it and would buy again.
      Pros:
      Theater sound with real bass and 300 watts to bring the power. small sleek unit.PERFORMS AS INTENDED. REALLY WONDERFUL SOUND. i WOULD BUY AGAIN.
      Cons:
      remote is hard to setup. Really needs its own remote,

      The sound is very good. The ability to control it via remote (which does not come with the soundbar) is very difficult. The wireless subwoofer is synced very nicely and is great. I am so tempted to return this product because of the remote issue. For the price I would expect a smoother and easier operation.
      Pros:
      sound
      Cons:

      BA TV30 Review

      Written By Steve P, Salem, MA on Sunday, February 12, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      First unit delivered had subwoofer case damage, then the sub quit. Unit was replaced. New one works well. Sound from the tv is greatly improved. Subwoofer adds just enough "oomph" to make the sound have depth. My only complaint is the sensitivity of the remote control. Unless I'm aiming directly at the soundbar, in a straight line to the sensor and only about 6 feet from the unit... it won't work. It works better with the soundbar grille removed but the sensitivity is still far less than expected and it, obviously, doesn't look as nice this way. Otherwise, the sound is great and it seriously improves the tv sound. This issue, especially in a soundbar that is far from inexpensive, needs to be successfully resolved with a design change at the manufacturer level.
      Pros:
      - Vastly improved sound from the tv - Nice looking unit, mounted directly beneath the wall mounted flat screen - Easy to hook up
      Cons:
      - SERIOUS issues with remote control sensitivity - Soundbar grille should have an open port for the remote sensor (grille blocks some of the remote signal) - Soundbar needs a way to adjust the sound quality (ie, bass, treble and midrange levels) for personal tastes

      Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30

      Written By Paul B, Sacramento CA on Monday, February 06, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I fretted over getting the right sound bar for my living room. The process began after my wife and I decided that we just didn't hear as well as we used to,..victims of age. Then my 27 year old daughter came home for a visit and kept asking, "What did he say". That was our ha-ha moment. It wasn't us. It was our crappy HDTV sound. I wanted a system that wouldn't clutter the living room with speakers yet had good stereo fidelity, clarity of voice, and a strong bottom (sub-swoofer) to push the SFX and musical experience. Boston Acoustics makes good stuff, the reviews were strong for the Model 30, but it was a bit pricey. But after extensive research, we just couldn't live with the issues of cheaper systems. So, we bought it. Plugged it in. Turned it on. Programmed it the connection to our cable remote. And have been smiling ever since. I give it a 5-star rating because it is everything I hoped it would be. Awesome sound. By the way, I went to a Super Bowl party yesterday where the host had just spent thousands installing a upscale 7.1 built-in surround system into his game room. He was proud of his 65-inch screen and booming audio. My wife winked at me from across the room because our Model 30 just sounds better.
      Pros:
      Sounds great. Connects to cable remote. Easy to set up. Looks OK.
      Cons:
      Remote has to be within 45 degrees of the sound bar in order to connect. Which means that the person sitting most centered is the default controller of the viewing-hearing experience. Wish it had a wider connectivity range.

      Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30

      Written By RickS, Cambridge, MA on Wednesday, February 01, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Marked improvement over TV sound reproduction. I am a high end audiophile so my comparison is a high hurdle. These speakers sound good and the bass reproduction is quite good. The wireless woofer works perfectly. Unit is well built and attractive. Programming the remote to the speakers is easy. However, there have been complaints that one needs to be close to the speakers for them to pick up the remote signal. I discovered that that Boston removed a circle of felt behind the front grill for the remote sensor. However, the cut out is not centered on the sensor. One needs to extend the cut out 1/8" higher and widen the cut out a little. Then the remote works well for volume control and mute functions. You do not need to drill a hole in the grill to achieve this.
      Pros:
      Good sound, well built, attractive, very good bass.
      Cons:
      Minor expansion of the felt cut out behind the front grill for the IR sensor will markedly improve the use of the remote.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      You have to drill a hole in the grill for the remote to work! Otherwise the sound is great, the unit is easy to set up and the wireless sub woofer is decent. The sound was a major upgrade from the built in speakers of my Samsung D8000. The remote was easy to program. This would be a 5 star product if you didn't have to DRILL A HOLE IN THE GRILL FOR IT TO WORK!!!
      Pros:
      Good sound, good features, easy to set up, looks good.
      Cons:
      The remote only works from three feet away unless you drill a hole in the grill!

      The TVee 30 met all expectations with one major exception. It is not compatible with IOS 5 devices for bluetooth streaming.
      Pros:
      Good Sound, easy to use and setup.
      Cons:
      Not compatible with IOS 5 - confirmed this with BA Tech Support and they say it is a Apple issue. Perhaps an upgrade will someday fix the issue.

      TVee 30 Sound Bar

      Written By Dave, Baltimore. MD on Monday, January 30, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Great sound but unresponsive remote caused me to send it back. I could not deal with having to get up and walking closer to the TV to raise or lower the sound. Boston Acoustics needs to fix this problem.
      Pros:
      Great sound for the $$$
      Cons:
      Remote sensitivity

      Troublesome

      Written By MarkS, TN on Monday, January 30, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      First, let me say that Crutchfield has been great to work with on this product. The issues with the product lie with Bostan Acoustics. The concept of the TVee Model 30 is a good one. The product execution is not where it should be. Boston Acoustics has some known issues with this product. Subwoofers not connecting are a recurring problem as well as the range of the remote control. Bluetooth is not compatible with the latest Apple products. Boston Acoustics says they are working on this, but there is no fix or timing at this point.
      Pros:
      The sound is good. Big improvement over TV speakers and just short of a surround system.
      Cons:
      Bluetooth not compatible with any Apple products with iOS5. Yes that's right, the latest iphones and itouch will not pair with TVee 30. Bluettoth connectivity was the reason I bought this unit and paid TWICE what I could have spent. The range of the remote is limited. Almost have to be directly in front of the unit and level with it. First subwoofer did not work out of the box. Optical cable supplied with unit is cheap and does not lock into place.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Replaced a bose 5 speaker surround sound system because we were sick of looking at all those ugly bundles of black speaker wire and weird-looking speakers. BA soundbar is much cleaner in appearance and sounds good,too.
      Pros:
      Good sound quality. Clean appearance. Minimal wires.
      Cons:
      Sound level adjustments are too course. Frequently level 3 is not loud enough, but level 4 is too loud. Anything above level 7 or 8 is probably dangerous to your hearing. Remote control must be at a 90 degree angle to the sensor or it doesn't work.

      Boston Accoustics Tvee Model 30

      Written By Jim, Houston Tx on Monday, January 23, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Delivery was prompt and trouble free, set up a breeze, and the sound is very good. The unit looks sharp and am very happy with it other than it seems that you need to be on a certain narrow angle directionally side to side from the front of the unit for the remote volume control to function. Works fine without the faceplate/speaker cover, so it seems to be a design flaw in the cover, perhaps. A bit frustrating sometimes but not a big deal. Otherwise a great unit.....
      Pros:
      Easy set up, great sound
      Cons:
      Remote control of volume will only function from a narrow angle in front of the unit.
