SOUND PROPOSITION

One of the oldest problems with large TVs — inferior built-in sound — is finally solved

Those of you who are workout enthusiasts might understand what is known informally in the circuit as “chicken syndrome”. Basically, people who sweat it out, lift weights only to tone up their upper bodies — chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders and abs — conveniently ignoring the legs. After about six months, they end up looking like chickens! Beefed up upper bodies and thin legs. The same analogy can be used for new-age LED “smart” TVs that have unparalleled picture quality, are big and sleek, have smart connectivity features, but somehow have sound that doesn’t quite match up to all the glamour, forcing us to invest in additional external speakers. Not anymore.

Panasonic has recently launched an all-new line-up of smart Ultra HD TVs that come with a free sound box, that enhances the natural sound output and provides an immersive sound experience. The UA7 sound box comes in-built with four woofers, four tweeters, two sub-woofers and something called AIRQUAKE BASS, that provides powerful, all-around sound. The hexagonal box can sit in front of or on the side of your TV, without causing too much disturbance to room design. The sound box comes free with the latest range of ultra HD TVs launched by Panasonic — the EX 750 (65 inches) and the EX 600 (55, 49 and 43 inches). The EX 600 series TVs are priced at `1,78,900, `1,41,000, and `78,000 respectively, whereas the EX 750 is priced at `3,10,000. The sound box, is not available for sale separately but comes free with both the EX 750 and EX 600 TVs except the 43 inches variant.
