Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With a robust design straight from the sci-fi cinema, the JVC MX-C55 audio system certainly looks powerful. Fortunately for users, the housing isn't just for show, as the 500-watt portable unit includes twin 170-watt GIGA-tube low-pass subwoofers, along with a pair of 80-watt main speakers. The speaker combination creates monster bass that far surpasses the low-frequency output of most mini systems, giving your CDs, CD-R/RWs, MP3s, and WMAs the rich, full-bodied audio they deserve. The overall effect is vast and potent, especially when enhanced by one of the three live surround modes (dance club, hall, and stadium) or the three traditional sound modes (rock, pop, and classic).
The MX-C55 isn't just about power, however. The system also comes with a three-disc CD carousel changer that offers 32-track programming, repeat play, and random play, along with a "play and exchange" option that lets you swap out two discs without interrupting playback of the third. To make MP3-CD and WMA-CD playback more informative, JVC added ID3 tagging, which lets users read the artist and track data on the front readout. And should listeners tire of CDs, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner.
Audio-wise, the MX-C55 stands ready to blow the roof off. Each speaker boasts a 6.31-inch cone subwoofer, a 3.94-inch cone woofer, and a 2-inch cone tweeter, which combine to produce a crisp, full-bodied audio soundstage. The speakers are also bi-amped--meaning the system drives the main speakers and subwoofers separately--to minimize distortion and create a cleaner overall sound. And if that weren't enough, JVC also added a Sound Turbo function, which intensifies the sound at the touch of a button. Need to pump up the volume for your backyard party or basement funk fest? Look no further than Sound Turbo.
Listeners with large digital music collections, meanwhile, will dig the front auxiliary input and USB PC link. The auxiliary input lets you connect an iPod, personal MP3 player, or other portable music device to the MX-C55, so you can share all your favorite playlists with friends and without headphones. The USB link works in much the same manner, except it connects to your PC or Mac and gives you access to all the music stored on your hard drive. You can even listen to live streaming Internet radio or stored podcasts through the MX-C55's powerful speakers.
Additional features include a 1-bit dual digital-to-analog converter, an Eco mode that conserves energy, and a headphone jack for private listening. As with all of JVC's compact audio systems, the MX-C55 is covered by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

This review is from: JVC MX-C55 500-Watt Mini Audio System with 3-Disc CD Changer and AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)
We own/operate a portable DJ business, so I really didn't expect much from this little unit. I must admit that it surprised me with the quality of sound it produces, especially the deep bass it is capable of.
Don't be fooled by the "500 watts" though. I am certain that they can justify that number with baffling peak or RMS calculations that add this and that together, but the sound level output doesn't come close to the levels of a professional system pumping 500 watts. That being said, it is certainly loud enough to cause hearing loss in an average sized room ... My favorite feature is the USB input! I can connect my laptop directly to this without going through a sound card to play digital music and other audio programs. It looks good also. The metallic finish masks the actual plastic and particle board construction, making it look quite impressive on the shelf. Bottom line, we are glad that we chose this unit for our meeting room. The value-to-cost ratio is very high.

Great sound,
This review is from: JVC MX-C55 500-Watt Mini Audio System with 3-Disc CD Changer and AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)
I puchased this after I returned a similar RCA system that sounded like it cost $ 25.00. This unit is powerful, has decent sound quality, and is fairly user friendy, even for a 50 year old. I would recommend it.
