Bookshelf speaker BS50BK

Meet the unique speakers that will let you hear the best stereo effects and transport you to the very center of the sound action. BS50 is a set of two active bookshelf speakers for various applications. The speakers can be used for your TV, computer, or to connect to your smartphone or tablet.

TV AUDIO CONNECT

This model is equipped with TV AUDIO CONNECT, an HDMI port with ARC return channel. This is ideal for connecting these speakers to a TV that is also HDMI ARC compatible. HDMI ARC is now an increasingly standard option for sending audio signals from a TV to peripherals, including active speakers. In addition to transmitting the audio signal, HDMI ARC also makes it possible to control some of the functions responsible for regulating sound with a single remote control. Thus, with the remote control from the TV you can control the volume of the speakers or mute them. This is a very convenient solution, because it eliminates the need to use several remote controls, to control the entire system. HDMI ARC also allows the speakers to automatically turn on and off when the TV is turned on or off – another practical advantage. This feature on some types of TVs requires activation in the TV menu – so it’s worth remembering.

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

The BS50s are equipped with Bluetooth, which allows wireless connectivity to various audio sources. If your TV does not have an HDMI ARC port, you can take advantage of this way of connection – movies, TV series or music channels will sound much more dynamic, you will hear much more detail and, above all, you will hear a true stereo effect. Without the tangle of wires, you can also use the Bluetooth connection to connect your laptop or desktop computer and gain a whole new dimension of sound while playing games or during everyday work. In the same way, you can connect your smartphone and enjoy amazing sound while listening to your favorite songs.

DIGITAL AND ANALOG SIGNAL INPUTS

Thanks to the optical input, it is possible to directly connect a digital source – this can be the sound from a game console, the signal from a desktop computer sound card or the signal from a digital set-top box for terrestrial TV. On the rear panel of the main speaker is also located RCA input for analog audio signal . You can use it to connect with virtually any analog source. This can be a turntable such as BLAUPUNKT VT100 with built-in preamplifier, it can also be audio from a DJ console, or audio signal from an older type of TV.

USB PLAYER

If you still use removable flash drives to store your favorite music files or have an audiobook collection, the built-in player with a USB port will allow you to play files stored in MP3 format without any problems.

ROBUST AMPLIFIER AND SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

The speakers are equipped with an amplifier that generates an RMS output power of 25 watts per channel – a total of 50 watts. They also offer a wide frequency response, which ranges from 45Hz to 20 KHz. The unit also offers a signal output to an external active subwoofer, so if you need to boost the low end, there’s nothing stopping you from adding a subwoofer to this set.

EQUALIZATION

Bass and treble equalization is available – so you can adjust the sound timbre to your preference. There is also a SUPER BASS function, which significantly enhances the sound of low tones. Also available on the remote control are preset equalizer settings ideally suited for watching movies (MOVIE mode), listening to music (MUSIC mode) or watching news programs or listening to podcasts (DIALOG mode)

BASS-REFLEX CABINET

The speaker cabinet is made of MDF board and covered with high-quality veneer. As a result, the speakers look very impressive and, due to their classic form, can be used in virtually any interior. The front of the speakers is a grille made of sound-permeable mesh – which protects the drivers installed in the enclosure – 4“ mid-bass drivers and 1.25” tweeters. The enclosure has a bass-reflex port, which allows accumulated air to be released from the speaker chamber. Thanks to this design, the enclosure does not suppress the radiant energy of the back of the diaphragm, but uses it effectively for more favorable frequency reproduction in the low register. In a word, thanks to the bass-reflex port we get better, more amplified and low bass. The port has been placed in the front of the cabinet and this allows the speakers to be moved closer to the wall or cabinet without affecting the sound quality.

COMFORT OF USE

The set includes a 21V/1.5A power supply with a long 2-meter cable, which allows us to freely apply these speakers both on the desk and the cabinet under the TV and even on special stands. Also included in the delivery is a 2.5 meter long cable connecting the two speakers. This cable has solid insulation and is terminated with a standard 5-pin DIN-type connector. The control panel and connection sockets are located on the rear panel of the main speaker, so to provide the best convenience when using the speakers, a remote control is also included.

The BS50 speakers are available in two color options – black (BS50BK) and European oak (BS50OK) – the same veneer color was used in the BLAUPUNKT VT100K and VT100SL turntables – it’s worth keeping in mind!
