Sony Mini Hi-Fi Component System LBT-ZX8 Review
Friday, May 5th, 2006
Incredible sound in a compact system with Sony’s LBT-ZX8 Mini Hi-Fi System. This Mini Hi-Fi Component System is the perfect accompaniment to your office, home, or on your next vacation, and is big on sound, but not on space. With 720 Watts, the LBT-ZX8 allows you to set the night to music, or entertain your guests while you reminisce about the good old days. The LBT-ZX8 features 4, 2-way speakers with Sony’s Variable Attenuation Control Design (VACS) circuitry system, which provides low midrange and bass distortion when listening at high volumes. A 5 disc changer allows you to rotate your 5 favorite CDs of the moment while the 10 Preset EQ with 2 Band Direct AV EQ lets you create the perfect acoustic environment for your listening pleasure. Other features include a color fluorescent display for function illumination and a Remote Commander® remote control for convenient unit operation. And in case you still fancy a few of your old tapes, the LBT-ZX8 features dual Full Logic cassette decks.
