PRESS RELEASE
The Cambridge Audio Minx TV sound plinth is an impressive sounding solution to a common problem: as Flat TVs have got thinner their sound quality has become weaker to the point where they have ended up sounding rather... flat!
So, to give TV screens back the sound they need and deserve, while avoiding the clutter of surround speakers, Cambridge Audio's London-based engineering team have created the Minx TV, a simple, discrete but powerful one-box upgrade that gives impact to movies, clarity to dialogue and high fidelity to your favourite music.
Minx TV sits neatly under any Flat TV - up to 47" - but offers a wide, room filling and detailed sound thanks to the inclusion of Cambridge Audios' own unique, patented BMR drivers - also found in the company's award winning Minx Air range. Bass is also deep and full due to the inclusion of a built-in 6.5" down-firing sub-woofer - giving a distinctly punchy performance and without the need for the separate, sub woofer box used by many soundbars.
The Minx TV sound plinth is also incredibly simple to use. Just two connections are required; one for power and the other to the TV's audio output - using either optical, RCA or the 3.5mm headphone jack. Cambridge Audio also ensure that Minx TV comes with all the cables you need, plus a slender remote control.
But Minx TV is much more than just a great TV sound system. Built-in Bluetooth streaming wirelessly unlocks the music stored on your smartphone, tablet or laptop to fill the room with your favourite tunes in super quality. The one-button Bluetooth setup is also incredibly simple to use, with up to eight connected devices remembered, so family and friends can easily stream their music wirelessly too.
Discrete and convenient, the Minx TV brings an instant high quality upgrade to all TV viewers, giving great, room filling sound without the clutter.

In more depth...
BMR drivers - Minx TV's two 2.25-inch patented BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) speaker drivers deliver a wider, more room-filling sound than similarly-sized traditional speakers. Regular speakers, like you'll find in TVs and sound bars, use a "pistonic" effect to move back and forward to create sound. Our BMR speakers create sound by moving not just back and forward, but with horizontal and vertical vibration too, for a much wider sound. This makes for a larger "sweet spot"; sit anywhere in the room and Minx TV still sounds great. It gives an impressive musical performance and incredible voice clarity - you'll never need to bump up the volume to make out dialogue again.
6.5-inch subwoofer - Minx TV's digital amplifier delivers impressive power, while its built-in 6.5-inch subwoofer delivers plenty of bass oomph, guaranteeing that television and movies will sound big enough to match the big-screen action. The subwoofer points downwards, so positioning is unimportant and the speaker cone is kept safe from knocks.
100W amplification - 50W subwoofer plus two 25W channels for the BMR drivers adds up to a sound big and room-filling enough to match any TV and any big screen action.
Digital signal processing (DSP) - Advanced DSP technology gets the biggest sound possible from a compact enclosure, and without introducing annoying cabinet rattle. The results are truly amazing, with sound that's louder, crisper and fuller than other TV one-box systems.
Adjustable EQ modes - There are four sound modes to choose from: TV, Film, Music and Voice. Each subtly adjusts the EQ settings of the built-in 100W amplifier to suit different listening material and personal preferences.
Bluetooth wireless streaming - One button pairing, with up to 8 audio devices remembered
Range of inputs - Digital optical (Toslink), RCA line level, 3.5mm headphone jack. Optical and 3.5mm cables are included, as is a slender remote control to set volume, input and sound mode.
Solid construction - Stress tested up to 30kg, Minx TV is so strong it can support up to 47-inch screens (any TV as long as it fits on Minx TV's 490x300mm top). The solidly built cabinet is also acoustically damped to minimise vibration and distortion to keep sound as pure as possible.
Eco-friendly Less than 0.5W standby power consumption and auto power down if not used for 20 minutes.
