Category:

Home Audio and Home Theater equipment.
Purchase:
Can be
purchased from many online retailers for $20 or less. The packaging
includes an owners manual, remote control, an RCA video extension
cable, two AAA batteries, a power adapter, and an RCA stereo audio
cable.
Description:
The unit
itself is relatively small, about the same size as the new digital TV
tuners. It is easy to use, there are three modes and a 'clarity' option
when in SRS TruSurround XT mode. There are three size options for
speakers on a switch in the back of the unit, small for headphones and
most televisions, medium for bookshelf speakers and quality console
televisions, and large for well, large speakers. The SRS TruBass
volume, mode, and clarity can be changed with the included remote.
Pros:
Noticable
difference in sound quality for smaller speakers.
Adds a headphone jack to your home
theater system.
Inexpensive but well constructed and
includes a remote.
Makes movie dialoge much easier to hear
with the 'clarity' option.
Great instructions for any home theater
setup or just a TV and game console.
Cons:
Don't loose
the remote, ever! It is the only way to change modes and options.
Final Verdict:
Definitely
worth the $$!
This device does what it claims and does
it well. The dialogue on the test movie was unmistakably clearer, and
the sound effects really were just like the theater with the exception
of the bone rattling lows for explosions.
The SRS TruBASS made lows clearer, not
muddied like traditional bass boosting systems and sounded great with
my bookshelf test speakers.
This device would make a great gift or
addition to any movie enthusiasts home theater system and adds a
convenient headphone jack for non intrusive listening.
