Product Description

Product Description

Delivering accurate, realistic sound, including deep bass, The Cambridge SoundWorks Ensemble IV Home Theater brings the thrill of great surround sound to small rooms. Home Theater magazine says Ensemble IV Home Theater outperforms most subwoofer/satellite systems we've tested -- at half the price of many. In fact, we've heard far more expensive home theater speakers that don't hold a candle to this rig. Ensemble IV Home Theater also recently received a Best Buy from a leading consumer publication.

Ensemble IV Home Theater consists of five matching cube satellite speakers and a shoebox-sized subwoofer. The shielded satellite cubes enclose 3-inch long-throw drivers with a special circuit to extend high-frequency response. The subwoofer cabinet encloses a 5 3/4-inch woofer in an acoustic suspension cavity, firing into a bandpass filter cavity for improved bass efficiency.

Due to their small size, the satellites can be hung on a wall using their supplied keyhole slots, or placed on shelves or stands, making them blend into most decors. The Ensemble IV Home Theater truly fits into any small room -- and any budget.

Front Speaker Dimensions: 4H X 4W X 3 5/8D Rear Speaker Dimensions: 4H X 4W X 3 5/8D Center Speaker Dimensions: 4H X 4W X 3 5/8D Subwoofer Speaker Dimensions: 6½ X 12½W X 6½D

4.0 out of 5 stars The mouse that roared! [4.5 stars], December 15, 2003

I have used the Cambridge SoundWorks Ensemble IV surround speaker system for over 2 years now. I am extremely satisfied! The system uses 5 small cube speakers that pack a punch. They sound great! The 0.1 component is a non-amplified subwoofer that is the size of a shoebox. I love the power and sound clarity I get from my 5.1 set. This is the best inexpensive way to complete a DVD watching experience. I routinely put in the "gunfight at the bank" scene from *Heat* to show off my system, and believe me, everyone is impressed. The system comes w/ a 10 year warantee, but I have never had a problem w/ my system.

One tip: most surround stereo receivers can adjust the power/output to emphasize the front speakers more than the rears. I highly advise doing that. In fact, Cambridge SoundWorks wants you to do that. Once you do that, you will notice a lot more bass from the subwoofer, as well as louder dialogue from the front speakers.

This system is a consumers best buy! It is easily the best value per dollar that I have ever spend on Audio/visual equipment. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is on a budget and doesn't want to lose out on experiencing 5.1 surround sound or DTS. And it will sound great!

4.0 out of 5 stars The perfect system for my small living room!, October 23, 2002

I live in an apartment and am very cramped for space. The Ensemble 4 surround sound speakers are the ideal solution for me. They are small and unobtrusive, yet they sound really great! My friends can't believe that all that sound is coming from those little speakers. The woofer hides under an end table and the small speakers are mounted on the wall. I would highly recommend this system to anyone that is looking for big sound from small speakers...oh yeah, and the price absolutely can not be beat- I know, I shopped around!
