One of our most requested features that our customers wanted for 2014 was the ability to have an enhanced sound solution when a television stand was already in place. This is where the Sony HT-XT1 comes in as a sound plate / sound base. Sound bases are essentially a new breed of audio solution for consumers. Whereas sound bars have been designed for wall mounted solutions, due to the various designs of stands & sound bars it has been difficult for consumers to find a suitable sound bar to match their television. Sound bases are the opposite in terms of being solely designed to be used on existing TV furniture & have two options for placement. In our Bolton Store we have this HT-XT1 placed on shelf running various audio input options & in our Rawtenstall outlet we have this model mounted on the top of a TV with a Sony KDL42W829BBU positioned on top. Not only being a TV speaker, the Sony HT-XT1 has the ability to be a separate audio output whilst the TV is switched off. Send through audio from your Android or i OS smartphone either by one touch NFC or bluetooth & enjoy a full audio system in the palm of your h&. in addition the Sony HTXT1 has 3 HDMI Inputs freeing up HDMI sockets on your existing television set. This model is also known as: HT-XT1, HTXT1
