PRESS RELEASE
TV5, RRP £279.95 and TV2, RRP £200
TV5 Available early 2015 at www.cambridgeaudio.com and Richer Sounds stores nationwide
Lining up alongside the What Hi-Fi? Award-winning TV2, the Cambridge Audio TV5 Speaker Base offers a step up in sound and size. With twin subwoofers and a bigger profile, the TV5 can support larger screen TVs and fill even the largest of rooms with rich, detailed sound.
Similar to modern TV design, TV sound has been getting thinner and thinner thanks to the shallow cabinet space and poor built-in speakers - often leaving viewers to struggle with dull, tinny, flat and lifeless audio.
The new Cambridge Audio TV5 and TV2 speaker bases deliver superb and wide sound to any flat panel TV via a discrete and slim-line solution that avoids the clutter of multiple surround sound speakers. And, unlike a soundbar, the TV5 and TV2 deliver a punchy performance without the need for an external subwoofer, avoiding extra clutter in your living room.
The TV5 and TV2 also stream high quality aptX Bluetooth audio, allowing you to play audio back wirelessly and in impressive detail from any phone, tablet or computer, in your living room.
The inside story - a wealth of technologies
Designed in the heart of London by Cambridge Audio's team of engineers - The TV2 and TV5 both feature a 100W digital amplifier which delivers impressive power and control, while the built-in subwoofers guarantee that television and movie soundtracks will sound big enough to match the biggest of on-screen action. With the two patented 57mm (2.25'') BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) speaker drivers the TV2 and TV5 can deliver a wide, room-filling sound, an impressive musical performance and incredible voice clarity - you'll never need to bump up the volume to make out dialogue again.
The TV2 features an active, down-firing 165mm (6.5'') subwoofer which complements the two BMR drivers beautifully and provides a rich, detailed bass, whilst the TV5 takes things a step further by adding a second 165mm (6.5'') active subwoofer. The TV5's twin subwoofers mean that it has twice the surface area of bass driver and double the efficiency in bass response. These two combinations add up to a sound that is big enough to fill any room and match any big screen action.
Both new models feature advanced Digital signal processing (DSP) technology developed for music and movie production to get the biggest sound possible from their slim-line enclosures - louder, crisper and fuller sound than from other TV one-box systems.
Superb connectivity
The TV5 and TV2 feature a Toslink optical input, allowing a direct digital signal to be taken from your TV and there's also an analogue audio input, either RCA or 3.5mm, to connect your other devices, plus Bluetooth streaming capability.
TV5 and TV2 will remember up to 8 different Bluetooth paired devices. Each time you switch on the TV5 or TV2, it will automatically pair with any of the last 8 paired devices without having to be put it into pairing mode again.
4 different sound modes
Dedicated profiles for Voice, TV, Music and Film can be used to enhance your listening experience, with each mode subtly adjusting the EQ settings of the built-in 100W amplifier. The Voice mode brings extra clarity to dialogue, making it ideal for those hard of hearing.
No remote control clutter
The TV5 and TV2 both support IR learning, allowing them to learn the volume commands from your TV or Sky remote so you can adjust the volume without having to use a separate dedicated remote control.
Auto Power Up, Auto Power Down
An environmentally friendly APD (Auto Power Down) feature on both the TV5 and TV2 will automatically turn off after several seconds if no sound is playing to save power. Conveniently, audio sensing technology, will automatically turn your devices back on when you start watching TV or listening to music again.
Simple placement
The TV2 and TV5 are quick and easy to position, either under your TV or on the first shelf of your TV rack.
