How ZVOX audio systems can benefit the
hearing-impaired..
We have had a number of customers tell us that ZVOX audio systems
make it easier for their hearing-impaired family members to enjoy
television programs. Simply put, they can hear audio - especially
the spoken word - more clearly, without having to turn up TV volume
to the "blast 'em out" level.
There are a number of reasons for this:
The ZVOX 315's PhaseCue™ system creates a very wide sound
field by incorporating "out of phase" information from
recording and TV broadcasts. This out-of-phase material results in
a very "live" sound with emphasized high-frequencies that
can improve audio clarity.
A key feature of the PhaseCue system is that it incorporates a single monaural
speaker in the center of the cabinet. This mono speaker tends to "anchor" the
sound, creating clear, robust audio that is easy to hear. This monaural speaker
is particularly effective in reproducing human voices - announcers, actors,
interview subjects.
Because it uses high-performance speakers and amplifiers, the ZVOX 315 produces
a wide range of sounds accurately, with very low distortion. This rich, natural
sound is easier to hear because it does not include the distortion often associated
with cheap, "tinny sounding" TV speakers.
Here are a couple of unsolicited
letters from our customers…
Dear ZVOX folks, We would like to share our experience. We have
a large TV with stereo speakers that I thought sounded good. I've
been an audiophile for many years and when I saw the ad in Home Theater
for the ZVOX I decided to give it a try. After hooking it up I was
checking it out when I noticed my wife sitting next to me had tears
in her eyes. I asked her what was the matter. She said I can understand
everything they are saying without my hearing aids. I didn't have
it turned up as loud as I usually do. She is hard of hearing and
this was an emotional experience for her. The enjoyment we are both
having is worth far more than the money we paid for the ZVOX.
Thank you,
Lonn & Judy
The ZVOX Speaker was delivered in a timely fashion, by UPS. I am
extremely satisfied with the speaker, since my wife and I have had
some difficulty hearing the dialog through the TVs speakers. The
ZVOX successfully allows the dialog to be heard above any background
music. Needless to say, we were very pleasantly surprised that this
product produced the results it advertised. The bass and the music
production are of high fidelity quality and can more than easily
fill our den, if we choose to crank up the volume.

I purchased the ZVOX One-Box audio system. The web-based purchase
was easy to complete, I received prompt acknowledgement of the order
and tracking information when the order shipped (which occurred within
a couple of business days). I had purchased the product to help my
wife (who has a hearing deficiency) hear the TV better. She has commented
that she really likes the product. All-in-all a very satisfying experience.
