Know before you buy
Yes, the 3.1HSB is a passive speaker system and requires an external AV receiver to power the audio. It does not have built-in amplification, which allows you to use your preferred receiver for better sound quality and control.
The 3.1HSB is built with a sturdy construction specifically designed to act as a pedestal for flat-panel televisions. It can safely support most displays up to 60 inches, provided the TV's stand fits within the unit's dimensions.
H-PAS (Hybrid Pressure Acceleration System) is a specialized acoustic design that uses the internal cabinet volume to pressurize and amplify low-frequency sound. This allows the unit to produce deep, impactful bass that you would typically expect from a much larger, separate subwoofer.
Because this system connects to your AV receiver rather than directly to the TV, it is compatible with any television brand. As long as your receiver can output audio from your TV, the 3.1HSB will function perfectly.
The unit measures 4.75 x 36 x 16 inches. Before purchasing, ensure your media console surface is at least 36 inches wide and 16 inches deep to accommodate the base securely.
