The JVC MX-E455B mini system plays audio from radio broadcasts, CDs, USB drives, and wireless sources. With a total output of 100W RMS (2×50W), the audio system uses two-way speakers with bass reflex. The design features a wooden cabinet with rounded edges and a black front panel. Users can access thousands of stations via internet radio, a DAB+ and FM tuner with RDS support. The system received an independent 'Excellent' (1.3) rating in a test by CHIP magazine and an 'Outstanding' rating from Stereo&Video magazine.
Signal reception is handled by classic FM and modern DAB+ digital broadcasting. The frequency range for FM reception is 87.5 to 108MHz, and for digital DAB, it's 174.9 to 239.2MHz. When connected to a Wi-Fi network, the device also provides access to internet radio stations from all over the world. You can save presets for quick access to your favourite stations, with 40 slots for FM, 40 for DAB+, and 20 for internet stations. The system includes an RDS tuner for FM broadcasts and an integrated DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) function for DAB.
Integrated Spotify Connect technology provides direct playback of music libraries and podcasts from the cloud. In this mode, your mobile phone acts only as a remote control, which saves its battery. For wireless network connection, the system uses Wi-Fi that operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Bluetooth version 5.2 is used for quick pairing with a tablet or smartphone, appearing in the system as MX-E455.
The built-in drive supports CD, CD-R, and rewritable CD-RW discs. In addition to standard music media, it also plays MP3 files continuously, randomly, or on repeat. The USB port on the rear panel reads flash drives with a capacity of up to 32GB. You can also play MP3 tracks by individual folders, and the programme memory holds up to 20 tracks for classic CDs and 99 for MP3 files.
Two passive two-way speakers with bass reflex ports on the rear wall deliver a total power of 100W, which is 2×50W RMS. The bass driver uses a yellow fibreglass cone, and the tweeter features a soft textile dome. Screw terminals on the back ensure a firm mechanical connection for the 180cm cables. After removing the plugs, you can also use standard banana plugs. Users can adjust the sound with an equaliser featuring five presets or use the X-Bass function to boost the bass.
The rear panel includes an analogue AUX cinch input for connecting external devices and a Toslink optical input for audio from a TV. To enhance the bass component, there is a SUB Out for an active subwoofer and a coaxial S/PDIF digital audio output for connecting to a receiver. The 3.5mm jack headphone output on the front is for private listening. The system requires a mains power input of 130W during operation and 2W in standby mode.
The 4.3" colour LCD screen displays the time, date, MP3 track information, and images. The system, which has a full English menu, can be controlled with the included remote control with a numeric keypad, or via the UNDOK and OKTIV mobile apps over your home Wi-Fi network. Practical features also include an alarm with two wake-up times and a sleep timer. The device automatically shuts off after more than 15 minutes of inactivity.
