With its simple, black design, the set presents visually unobtrusive and acts at the same time a high quality finish. Sonically it convinced after a few seconds! Especially when switching from TV speakers on the CineMate15 and back you can hear the difference immediately very clear. Not only the quivering bass impressed, but also the clear, full output from the soundbar. Here the viewer from the really small Soundbar expected a really good sound, which enhances the home theater experience significantly. Already in normal TV program a, depending on the TV set should be noted different, increase. I have it connected and held the parlous state of the sound space satisfies a strong, clear sound that tears me from the couch to a Bravia (Sony). The Soundbar ensures the pointing in different directions speakers for an interesting distribution in the room. Although there are no speakers behind you, as is the case with surround systems, yet you get the feeling that the sound does not come only from the front but also from the side and that's fun. At the latest, when the device is connected to the Blu-ray player, thrilled the system. Depending on the setting on bass and the neighbors because Bose really has processed under the hood Power! Although the volume can be adjusted also moderate, but just in case you can draw on unlimited resources.
Particularly beautiful are two features that I would like to highlight: Firstly, Bose gives the user free choice in the digital audio inputs. It is possible to connect the system either via RCA, as well as via optical fiber cable. While both versions are (to my knowledge) theoretically equal good, but not every device offers both outputs - here I have the choice. Secondly, I find the Audio Return Channel (ARC) is still too rarely installed. Bose also it exists and save the annoying additional Cabling TV to home theater system because the TV via the ARC can also return sound. This not only saves a cable, but also the laying / Hide on the shelf or cabinet.
Even with the remote control Bose points. A large, heavy, well-made remote control is included, which can score with a clear layout of the keys, reasonable pressure points and wide keys. Conveniently, the remote control is also universal and Bose delivers a whole issue with "Remote Device Codes" with, so with a little luck, the remote control can replace several others. TV, DVD / BD players, some hi-fi systems and even game consoles (video and audio functions) can be controlled with it. More comfort is hardly possible.
Conclusion: ingenious set that really brings surround sound in Bude. The ground trembles (if required), voice and effects whipping around the ears - so the DVD / BD evening making fun in a small space. It is only necessary that the soundbar should be placed in front of the TV, so you should have a TV with a correspondingly high foot. In addition, the bass body is not necessarily small and allow the supplied cables only at a distance of ~ 3 meters. Who in the radius of space, will find a first-class facility!
