These high-performance Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers are small in stature and deliver enormous sound. Their impact is partly due to their advanced 8-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter. Coupled with the frequency response of their enhanced 3 1/4-inch midrange driver, these speakers provide a full-bodied audio quality. These speakers' small size carry a large depth of sound. The bookshelf speakers' robust quality allows you to hear music and movie audio as it was meant to be heard. The tones are crisp, clear, and true to life. Use these speakers as part of a surround-sound system or for stereo audio enjoyment. In either case, you will get the same high-resolution sound that you would expect from a Sony product.Each of the Sony SS-B3000 speakers connects separately by speaker wire to a receiver or amplifier. That device can connect to other accessories or devices, such as a TV, home theater, or PC. The SS-B3000s are compatible with Blu-ray players, DVD players, and many other home theater accessories. They feature three-way construction with a three-way crossover channel, and they are magnetically shielded. Each speaker contains a woofer, midrange, and tweeter driver. The cone-type woofers are made of Kevlar highly oriented polyolefin or HOP. Also called mid drivers, the midrange drivers sport an enhanced HOP cone. The tweeters are a nano-fine balanced dome type. The set's enclosure style is a bass reflex.Providing high-resolution sound reproduction, the system has a frequency response of 50 to 50,000 hertz. With sensitivity to 88 decibels, these speakers have a maximum input and output power of 120 watts. The impedance rating is 8 ohms, and the system has a push-type terminal. These speakers offer passive amplification and can be connected to a powered subwoofer as well.Suitable for all decor hues and styles, the speakers are black. Both of them have a detachable front grille, which is also black. Each speaker is about 20.88 inches tall, 9.44 inches wide, and 10.38 inches deep with its front grille in place. Instead of sitting vertically, they can rest horizontally. Each one weighs about 14.31 pounds. Designated as Sony model SS-B3000, each is part number SS-B3000. Caring for the exterior of this pair is easy. Simply wipe it with a soft, clean cloth once in a while. This is sufficient to keep them clean.One additional benefit of having a set of two speakers is that you can create a stereo effect. Ideally, your listening spot and their locations should form a triangle with equal sides. Setting each speaker on a level, hard surface and at least 4 inches from walls enhances its safety and performance. A bookshelf is a great location for these devices, which is why they are called bookshelf speakers. Sony has manufactured a range of other consumer electronics and accessories and has exceptional experience in the production of outstanding audio devices. These bookshelf speakers accentuate a range of fine audio products and accessories. They can provide amazing sound for your home theater components, game consoles, and more.
