The Most Technologically Advanced Speaker Ever? The New ZVOX AV155 AccuVoice TV Speaker With Patented Hearing Aid Technology and Six Levels of Dialogue Boost

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- At CES 2019, ZVOX Audio will introduce the Accuvoice AV155 TV Speaker, the latest addition to its critically-acclaimed line of Accuvoice TV speakers. The new speaker features six levels of voice boost and a newly designed remote that is water-resistant and has bigger, easy-to-read buttons. Like ZVOX's other popular sound bar products, the AV155 uses patented AccuVoice technology, an advanced digital processor that analyzes a soundtrack, and when it detects dialogue it instantly activates computer algorithms that bring the voices forward. The ZVOX Accuvoice TV Speaker AV155 will be available in February 2019 for a suggested retail price of $249.99 on amazon.com and zvox.com.

Six Levels of Voice Boost for Next-Level TV Audio Performance
The powerful AccuVoice AV155 TV Speaker takes the ZVOX Audio sound solution to the next level – offering six distinct levels of dialogue boost for unmatched voice clarity. The six powerful levels of AccuVoice dialogue boost let users tailor the sound to their individual needs while ZVOX's patented design lifts voices out of the soundtrack and manipulates the signals to make all voices distinct and crystal clear. The six levels of dialogue boost subtly manipulate five key sound variables – including the use of "formants" (artificial distortion designed to increase voice intelligibility) – to make dialogue crystal clear. Levels of boost can be varied to match your ears – or the quality of the soundtrack. (Watching an old movie with garbled sound? Turn up the boost! British accents hard to understand? Turn up the boost!)

We don't know of any other loudspeaker design that matches the technological prowess of the Multi-Stage AccuVoice system. It is a remarkable blend of digital and analog technologies.
With three full-range drivers powered by a 24-watt Class D digital amplifier, the AV155 is also equipped with ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue virtual surround-sound processing for 3D sound, plus an output leveling mode to eliminate the annoying blare of loud commercials.

Stylish Design and Easy-to-Use Remote
Whether wall- of furniture-mounted, the AccuVoice AV155 Speaker features a stylish new design –and a newly designed remote control with large, easy-to-read buttons and a sturdy, water-resistant structure. Like all ZVOX sound systems, the AV155 can be easily programmed to respond to virtually any infrared remote control.

ZVOX CEO Tom Hannaher noted: "Millions of Americans, especially aging baby boomers, are suffering some level of hearing impairment. For them, it's often difficult to hear TV dialogue properly, especially on the small substandard speakers that come with today's flat screen TVs. By using hearing aid technology and our revolutionary AccuVoice system, the AV155 lets everyone get the most enjoyment out of all their TV programming, including movies, TV shows and sports. And now with six distinct levels of dialogue boost, viewers can select exactly the level of audio assistance they need."
