Speaker system Sven IHOO T100U: review, reviews, schematic diagram, instruction

The company Sven produces acoustic systems and headphones. In the arsenal of the company there are both top models with a crazy sound (and at least a crazy price), and budget options with quite an adequate price tag. Sven's business card is high quality products. Even the budget. That's why Sven's speaker systems are popular all over the world and have won a fair share of the market.

Acoustics Sven IHOO T100U refers to budget systems 5.1. Do not be frightened by the word "budget". Even inexpensive speakers can sound very good. Everything depends on the quality of execution and design. And Sven is always okay with this. It's time to consider and "feel" this very interesting acoustic system. In the process of "probing" the main technical characteristics of the model will be considered. We can not ignore the design.

Contents of delivery

Let's start with the most uninteresting. The Sven IHOO T100U speaker system is supplied in an ordinary cardboard box with a "cardboard" color. The packaging shows the columns and specifications. All ascetic, in Spartan. By the way, the weight of the box itself is about 22 kilograms. The burden is palpable, therefore in the box there are special handles for carrying.

We open the box and see the acoustic system itself, the remote control (wireless) and some pieces of paper, which, upon closer inspection, turn out to be a guarantee coupon and instruction manual. By the way, the instruction contains an adequate Russian language. And this is a plus for the manufacturer. A standard antenna for the receiver is also included in the package. It represents a posting with some "zyuobraznoy" curl at the end. It is not clear that this antenna is able to catch, but thanks to that. In principle, this is the whole set of columns. You can go to the most interesting.

Subwoofer and amplifier

The main part of the speaker system is a subwoofer. Why him? Yes, because it is in it is built-in amplifier. This is a feature of Sven IHOO T100U acoustics. In some models, the amplifier is isolated in a separate unit, and here such a design. The most interesting thing is that the subwoofer has a built-in FM-receiver and a file player from a USB flash drive.

On the rear panel of the subwoofer are the connectors for connecting speakers and RCA-connectors for connecting the amplifier to the sound source. There is no digital audio input. Which is not surprising. Who will put optics in the acoustic system for such ridiculous money? Also on the back panel is a connector for connecting an external antenna and a power button. A similar button on the console just immerses the system in a sound sleep.

Speaker Specifications

Like any self-respecting speaker system, the Sven IHOO T100U has 5 channels at high and medium frequencies and one low-pass (subwoofer) channel. It's time to review the technical characteristics of each component of the system separately.

1. Centre. The central column is made of MDF. There are two speakers: MF and HF. And they are made of different materials. The midrange diffuser is made of paper, and the HF can boast a tissue base. The nominal power of the central column is 20 watts. This is quite enough even for the largest room in the apartment building. Since all the dialogues in the films go through the central channel, you can not worry about the sound quality. A column with such parameters is quite able to cope with such a task.
2. Front. The front speakers also have a two-way structure (MF-HF), only differ slightly larger dimensions compared to the center. The materials from which the diffuser is made are the same: paper and fabric. The claimed power of each column is 20 watts.
3. Rear. The rear speakers, of course, suffered somewhat. In each of them, only one midrange driver is installed. There are no high-frequency diffusers at all. Of course, this affects the sound quality. But to expect from the budgetary system of something else is pure madness. The power of the rear speakers is 20 watts.
4. Subwoofer. The sub should provide a powerful bass, but it should not suffer from clarity, as well as intelligibility of sound. I must say that the Sven IHOO T100U copes with this perfectly. The power of the subwoofer is 50 watts, and its diffuser is made of paper. The sub is made using Bandpass technology of the fourth order.

Correct placement of AC components

To achieve the best surround sound, all components of the speaker system should be properly positioned. This rule applies to the Sven IHOO T100U columns. The diagram of the correct arrangement of the columns is in the instruction manual (also in the picture below). However, strictly adhere to the recommendations specified in this scheme, it is not necessary. Yes, and not everyone will be able to arrange components that way. Apartments do not allow. What then?

Here one more advantage of this AS is shown. Using the remote control, you can adjust the volume of each individual component of the system (front, rear or center). Thus, it is not necessary to install separate acoustic components in strict accordance with the above scheme. It is enough to adjust the volume of each speaker.

FM Receiver

As for receiving a radio signal, then the acoustics could surprise. The receiver is so good that it was able to receive radio stations quite qualitatively when using only a small standard antenna, which is included in the kit. Even with it, the sound is clean, without interference. Virtual 5.1 sound system allows even radio stations to listen in this format. It sounds quite interesting, because the usual stereo-mono sound is converted to 5.1 and already in this form reaches the ears.

True, there is one but. Setting up the FM tuner is a bit complicated, and you can not understand it right away. This is the special feature of Sven IHOO T100U. The instruction is only able to help us. But over time it will be possible to flip through radio stations with a single button. In addition, no one has canceled the built-in memory for seven radio stations.

Mp3 player

The built-in MP3 player deserves special attention. Not only can he read MiniSD memory cards (MicroSD via an adapter), but also copes with files recorded on a regular USB drive. The audio signal from the MP3 player also undergoes a modification in the digital sound processor and appears before us in 5.1 format. Even if before that he was in mono. The control keys of the MP3 player are available both on the console and on the subwoofer enclosure.

Sound quality

Despite the relatively low cost, the speakers Sven IHOO T100U show excellent results. And, as the reviews say, the results are equally good when watching movies, and when listening to music. The subwoofer provides a clear and readable bass. There is no "tin barrel" effect. Satellites perfectly cope with high and medium frequencies. In general, very high-quality sound.

The sound quality is affected by the sound processor itself, as well as the material and construction of the case. Apparently, in this acoustic system, a very successful combination of all these important parameters has turned out. Speakers from the same price category can not provide the same sound quality as the Sven IHOO T100U. Reviews about this speaker are only positive. Negative was not noticed.

However, nobody is insured from factory marriage. This is the official manufacturer's warranty. It is valid for a year, and in which case it will be possible to exchange defective products for a new one. By the way, Sven has one of the best service centers. Reviews say that there really are trying to figure out the reason for the breakdown, and do not just try to unsubscribe. If the replacement of a component is impossible, then you will be offered a completely new acoustic system in place of a broken one.

Summary

Summarizing all of the above, I want to once again list all the advantages of Sven IHOO T100U acoustics. Review and reviews prove that this speaker has the best sound from systems of the same price category, convenient control, the ability to customize each component separately, excellent build quality, MDF casing and high-quality FM-receiver. All these are attributes of mid-range acoustic systems. Nevertheless, the Sven IHOO T100U is positioned as a budget (it costs about 12,000 rubles). And for the budget it is very cool.
