Tiny unit with a big sound
1 of 1 found this helpful The M9 crams five speakers into a box 30cm x 9.7cm x 9.7cm. There are three inputs RCA, optical and 3.5mm jack as well as Bluetooth. Linked to a TV, Samsung smart TV in my case, optical was noticeable the best quality, crisp and sharp with speech extremely clear.
There is also a wireless subwoofer which is subtle rather than booming, set to normal you can increase or decrease bass on the supplied remote. There is also an option to increase or decrease the bass, effectively a volume control, on the unit.
The bass unit comes into its own in things such as action movies which have dedicated bass tracks in cinemas - regular TV is not usually that heavy on bass so the subwoofer remains relatively benign, adding depth and colour rather than boom much of the time.
The unit was bought as a replacement for failing external speakers for a smart TV and has proved excellent for the job and, as a bonus, when used as a Bluetooth speaker for iPhone, tablet, computer and so on it is equally impressive and pairing is a piece of cake.
Remember this is an alternative to a soundbar not a home cinema system or a hi-fi system although the quality as a Bluetooth speaker is not to be sniffed at.
Two of the five speakers in the main unit fire sideways, spatial sound technology (SST), and fill a room which cleverly makes the sound appear the same wherever you are in relation to the speakers. It’s not surround sound or anything like that but means that wherever you sit you will get the same full, rounded sound.
Used as TV speakers they are excellent value for the price with little difference in clarity or balance from low volume to high volume which, incidentally, is satisfyingly well beyond anything you would need in the average living room so there is little danger of volume distortion.
The list price is 5p light of £300 which puts it at the budget to mid-range end of sound bars although refurbished units can be picked up on eBay at roughly 50-60 per cent of that. Mine was from 3monkeys.
There are better sound bars and better Bluetooth speakers but you will struggle to find anything anywhere near as good at this price, nor anything as compact. The unit is ridiculously small for the power it produces (200w) and because of the SST system does not have to be placed in the centre of the TV nor do you have to sit directly in front of the speakers.
The unit is wood - better for resonance - with a black piano gloss finish - a bamboo version is also available. The black is unobtrusive and apart from a blue LED is hardly noticeable.
As for drawbacks the main one is that there is no HDMI port, not that that is a huge deal if your TV has an optical socket.
