Honest speaker without frills
November 26, 2024
Marcel Büttner from Hardware-Journal put the nuBoxx AS-225 max to the test on 26 November 2024. The editorial team praised the soundbar as very powerful, visually appealing and ideally suited for multimedia sound reinforcement. The conclusion: „Die Nubert nuBoxx AS-225 max ist klein und kraftvoll, aber keinesfalls von den Maßen her auffallend. Umso erstaunlicher erscheint es, was in diesem kleinen Kraftpaket alles für akustisches Volumen steckt. […] Dazu kommt eine umfangreiche Konnektivität, mit vielen Schnittstellen und praktischen Features wie HDMI-ARC und CEC-Unterstützung, automatische Einschaltautomatik und Bluetooth. Positiv erwähnenswert sind die umfangreichen Settings bei der Klanganpassung. Hier bekommt man als Kunde eine vielfältige Möglichkeit, den Raum fülliger und größer wirken zu lassen, oder die Dialogverständlichkeit anzuheben. Besonders überzeugend sind aber die klanglichen Fähigkeiten bei der Filmwiedergabe. Hier schafft es die AS-225 max mit einer dynamischen und sehr kraftvollen Wiedergabe zu punkten. Dialoge werden deutlich präsentiert, Filmmusik und Effekte dazu passend arrangiert. […]“
[Loose translation: ‘The Nubert nuBoxx AS-225 max is small and powerful, but by no means conspicuous in terms of its dimensions. This makes it all the more astonishing how much acoustic volume this little powerhouse packs. [...] It also offers extensive connectivity, with many interfaces and practical features such as HDMI ARC and CEC support, automatic switch-on and Bluetooth. The extensive sound customisation settings are worth a positive mention. Here, the customer is given a wide range of options to make the room appear fuller and larger or to increase dialogue intelligibility. However, the sound capabilities for film reproduction are particularly impressive. Here, the AS-225 max manages to score points with a dynamic and very powerful reproduction. Dialogue is presented clearly and film music and effects are arranged appropriately. [...]’]
