Description:
Music is as important at home as it is anywhere else you might care to listen to it. Konzert is a solid name in the field of home entertainment, with a long list of products, not the least of which is the KX-400+, a device that takes the mini-component system and updates it for current-generation devices. Does it have enough features to keep up, or does it get left behind?
Design: 3.5/5
The audio system doesn’t take too many risks in the design department. The main unit is done in a simple black, with a massive port for the subwoofer up front. To spice things up slightly, the front panel is illuminated, and can be set to flash with the music, if that’s your kind of thing. The left, right, and center speakers are tall and narrow, which, when turned sideways, allows them to fit easily in shelving. Controls are available right on the front panel, giving you easy access to commonly used features, including a massive volume wheel for turning the jams up without fumbling. Overall, it’s not a bad-looking system, and would fit nicely in a spot in the living room.
Hardware: 4/5
There is more to this device than just a 3.1-channel audio system. The Konzert KX-400+ also has Bluetooth connectivity, for wireless audio convenience, and playback from USB drives and SD cards. These are, of course, on top of wired connectivity, and an FM radio. Bluetooth in particular is a great addition, allowing you to use your phone and a streaming service to provide the tunes. If you’re looking for numbers, the system has an 8-inch subwoofer and three, 3-inch satellite speakers.
The system also comes with a remote control that gives the user access to more features, including selecting the input source, sound mode, and picking the radio station. The back has auxiliary inputs for external audio sources, and since the unit is quite light, accessing the rear isn’t an issue, even when the system has ben set in place.
