The Perfect Holiday Gift For Someone Over 50: A Breakthrough TV Speaker That Improves Dialog Clarity
Swampscott, MA (PRWEB) November 03, 2015 -- What is the ultimate technology gift for someone over the age of 50? It could be a sound system that improves dialog on TV shows, movies and sports broadcasts. Over 48 million people in the United States have hearing loss, (most of them are over 50). And many people with perfect hearing still can’t hear dialog on the super-tiny speakers in modern TVs. The solution? Add a quality sound system to the TV – preferably one that puts a focus on vocal clarity….like the new SoundBase systems from ZVOX Audio. They use a new technology called AccuVoice® to create “best ever” dialog reproduction. Inspired by hearing aid technology, the ZVOX speaker enables many people with hearing issues to easily understand dialog, even without wearing hearing aids.
“Garbled TV dialog is an epidemic in this country” says ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher. “Broadcasters often choose dramatic audio mixes that sacrifice voice clarity. TV speakers are worse now than in 1952. And there are 95 million Americans over the age of 50. That’s a combination that spells trouble.”
AccuVoice technology is the latest innovation from ZVOX, the company that pioneered both the sound bar and the SoundBase home theater concepts. The new systems (Model 350, $249.99; Model 450 $299.99) keep up the company’s tradition for sound quality – with built-in powered subwoofers, PhaseCue® virtual surround sound and aptX Bluetooth music streaming. They’re also simple to install and use – with only one cabinet, one connecting wire and a one-page owner’s manual.
The new ZVOX models are shipping now, and are available at select retailers nationwide, as well as web sites like bestbuy.com, amazon.com and zvoxaudio.com. When purchased directly from the zvoxaudio.com web site, the systems are backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee.
