First, the packaging and value:
The subwoofer is perfectly packaged to moisture and other external influences in a separate package. The satellite speakers are also individually wrapped in another package. After unpacking the falls particularly on the high value of bestehnden plastic satellite speakers. Again, no protruding edges or similar defects can be recognized. The subwoofer is also visually pleasing to integrate with its coated with piano lacquer top in the living room. The center speaker is still a Kundststoffschale with which can be placed under the TV of the LS, for example. So much for the first positive impression.
Line-up:
The construction and connection was done with me, because of the already installed cables in a short time. First, I have connected the speakers to the terminals on the AVR entsprechnden cable, then the subwoofer with a market Subwoofer RCA mono cable.
Commissioning and testing with film and music:
After building and the loudspeaker device in AVR with a DVD Star Wars Episode II was tested directly. As a first test site I had chosen a chase in the universe, in which "Seismic bombs" were dropped. The subwoofer produces on medium settings here a brutal, clearly noticeable bass and readme open-mouthed in front of the TV sit (probably my neighbors). Even in quieter film sequences, for example, rain or wind, the Consono can play very many details. In addition, I consider the intelligibility as quite good (this is also a matter of attitude on the AVR). As other films I have "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Star Trek 11" tested. Again, the system cut off pleasingly positive. So I would recommend this Consono 35 for the home theater operation vollstens.
Next, the system was tested in the music capability. Anticipation, of course, the sound is not the same as standing or expensive hi-fi speakers, yet it produces do not mean just low expectations.
I have tested different types of music like rock, house and musical CD's and was pleasantly surprised. The detail of music is transmitted at a relatively high level for such small speakers. But this is true only for use with Dolby ProLogic II Music or Neo6 music mode. In pure stereo mode, so only Left + Right channel + Subwoofer the quality is just average. That does not bother me personally, but less, when I hear music exclusively through all channels.
Finally, may I say a full purchase recommendation. I personally have not heard any other sound system to 300, which was so brilliantly meet my expectations for film and music.
