Product Highlights

USB Direct Connection
With the USB Direct mode, you can simply select the music on a USB device and playback all your content. All you have to do is plug in your USB device to playback music or export content from the device.

Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings--from low to high--at the touch of a button. Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.

Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Classic controls that you can use to optimize the frequency ranges for different musical styles. Each mode uses graphic equalizing technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control makes it easy for you get the most out of your music by precisely adjusting the sound balance to match the type of music you are playing.

Sharp XL520 Executive Microsystem

Sharp XL520 Executive Microsystem Review



Sharp XL520 Executive Microsystem Feature

  • Two-way shielded speakers
  • Full-logic cassette deck
  • Front-panel optical digital output
  • Full-function remote
  • Preset equalization (EQ)
We recommend Sharp's XL-520 shelf system as a great low-cost upgrade to a bedroom, studio apartment, or dorm room. The system includes CD and cassette players, AM/FM tuner (antenna provided), and magnetically shielded two-way speakers that you can place near a TV or computer monitor without disturbing the picture. Working in tandem with the speakers is a two-channel line input on the back of the main component that can easily accommodate a VCR or PC audio output.

The speakers are fairly well balanced--not too bright, not too boomy or muddy--but all the same, an adjustable tone control would be nice. As it stands, the system comes with three preset EQ settings besides flat (no EQ): a bass mode that adds a little low end to the presentation, a mode that boosts the extreme low and high frequencies, and a mode that rolls off the highs (useful for softening particularly hissy tapes or noisy radio broadcasts).

One feature of the XL-520 that is unique to systems at this price is an optical digital output. Accessible from the front panel, this feature allows recording from CD to other digital media--such as MiniDisc or even a PC hard drive--where the digital feed can be compressed to MP3 or other reduced-storage audio formats.

The full-function remote is highly convenient in allowing you to adjust the volume, EQ, sound source, play mode (repeat or random), 20-track programmable memory, or sleep/timer all from the comfort of a bed or couch. When the memory is programmed but not playing any CDs, the display window shows the total time of the programmed material.

Pros:

  • Shielded speakers can be placed near TV or computer monitor
  • Auxiliary input can accept feed from VCR or PC
  • Digital output helps with compilations on MiniDisc or MP3
  • Volume control on remote

Cons:

  • Cassette sound is below par
  • No adjustable tone controls
Speakers dimensions: 14.13x13x13 27.5llbs (This is each speaker separately)

JVC FS-7000 Executive MicroSystem

JVC FS-7000 Executive MicroSystem Review



JVC FS-7000 Executive MicroSystem Feature

  • Compact size
  • Line-level subwoofer output
  • 3-mode gain control
  • Clock-timer
  • Compu Play
To look at the JVC FS-7000 Ultra Compact component system is to want to play it, and to play it is, unavoidably, to love it. This system was designed for a tiny space and it sounds so inviting at low levels that you'll keep reaching for the volume knob.

With its champagne-gold aluminum face plate and European cherrywood speakers, the FS-7000 is an eye pleaser. But the real value lies in its effortless 13-watts-per-channel sound, which, from the single CD or built-in tuner, comes through clear, punchy, and surprisingly loud for speakers with 3-inch cones. On our test material, voices were rendered sweetly and naturally, producing extended high frequencies without subjecting us to steely sibilance or blatant peakiness. The FS-7000's CD player successfully delineated complex instrumental passages with a little help from the Active Hyper-Bass function, which lends the low end some much-needed presence (you'll probably leave this on).

In comparing the onboard CD player with a standalone player piped in through one of two line inputs, the sound--and in particular the soundstaging--was clearly better from the standalone. This suggests that the FS-7000's preamp/amplifier stages are of higher quality than the onboard CD player.

While the JVC FS-7000's most endearing feature is its good sound, convenience also ranks highly. Besides fitting nicely on a 15-inch stretch of shelf space, the system offers tone controls, a line-level input and output (to accommodate a MiniDisc recorder or tape deck), and a dedicated subwoofer output for those who want real heft in the playback. All of these features are reigned in through a proportionately large, vertical-stance, full-function remote control.

A handy clock/timer with 20-minute back-up power and snooze function enables the FS-7000 to provide a musical wake-up call, while a dual-layer (orange and blue) FL display shows a digital representation of an analog clock when the unit is off.

Though some assembly is required (namely connecting the speakers with the neatly soldered speaker wire, which is provided), the FS-7000 was a breeze to operate and program and should pose little threat to the technologically wary.

Pros:

  • Great sound in a small package
  • Input/output jacks
  • Attractive appearance
  • Plays loud without distortion

Cons:

  • Hums and buzzes due to unclean or overtaxed AC power conditions
  • Audible compression with bass-heavy material
  • No balance control
JVC invented the "executive" mini system, blending elegant design with uncompromising performance and technology. The JVC FS-7000 is perfect for any place where great sound is desired, and space is limited. The elegant champagne finished main component is matched to speakers with real European cherrywood enclosures. This stereo features a top load CD player, digital tuner, 13 watts per channel, Active Hyper Bass Super Pro, and full clock radio functions; all built-in. The system provides outstanding sound with Ceramic Hyper Olefin Cones and edgewise-wound, 4-layer voice coils. The JVC FS-7000 also features 1-bit D/A converter, Electronic Bass and Treble Controls, Motor-driven volume control, Digital Tuner with 30 FM and 15 AM Station Memory and COMPU PLAY. Dual-layer Fluorescent display features analog clock when unit is off. Full function remote control is also included. Easy system expansion is allowed with line input/output, auxiliary input, subwoofer output, and optical digital output.
