Q-TV

New flatscreen TVs are getting bigger and better. They produce crystal clear, pin sharp images and their sleek, stylish, space saving designs have wide-ranging appeal. Yet like most things there’s a compromise - as screens get slimmer, sadly the sound they produce has also got thinner.

Born out of a passion for perfection, the Q-TV2 will transform the way you enjoy your TV. The first truly discreet, 2.1 HD Sound upgrade for flatscreen televisions, Q-TV2 delivers dynamic, room filling stereo sound with real bass, yet is completely clutter-free with almost no visual intrusion into your living space. Unobtrusive and supremely easy to install, it boasts 100 watts of amplification, driving eight advanced technology loudspeakers in stylish stereo enclosures and an integrated vibration-free, ultra-slim subwoofer.

Q-TV2 will be available from October 2009
