Boston Acoustics, Peabody, Mass., makes innovative home entertainment solutions and high performance loudspeakers. NVELOP marks the first time Boston Acoustics has teamed up directly with a furniture company, as well as the first time Bassett has partnered with an audio company.

The wood NVELOP cabinets feature a powerful built-in Boston Acoustics soundbar system with Boston's Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround that literally envelops viewers in rich, room-filling audio. There are four new credenzas in the NVELOP lineup, including two Louis Philippe models, the large with manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,999 and small for $1,799; and two Redin Park models, large at $1,999, and small at $1,499. NVELOP credenzas are now available at Bassett Home Furnishings stores, Bassett retailers and online.

NVELOP credenzas offer users a variety of design and performance attributes such as built-in 150-watt Boston Acoustics soundbar and powered subwoofer system with Boston's exclusive Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround processing for pinpoint theater-like, surround effects; powerful 6-inch subwoofer (hidden inside the cabinet itself) delivers the deep bass response required for true home cinema and a more powerful music or gaming experience; built-in mini-stereo jack in a convenient drawer for iPods, MP3 players, and computer audio connection; specially vented shelves for placement of additional audio and video components; built-in 4-outlet power strip for simple wire management and no clutter; true acoustically transparent cloth grille for added sound quality; and specially designed rubber acoustical gaskets on the back furniture panels.
