Overview
Not a soundbar or a full surround kit, the CineMate GS Series II is a compact satellite-and-subwoofer system with Gemstone speakers designed to improve the audio from your TV and existing video sources. A universal remote controls the system and most components connected to the TV.
Choose it for better TV sound in a modest room with only a few connections to make. The wireless and Bluetooth lines in the listing do not fit the wired subwoofer and infrared remote it also names, so set expectations by the wired details.
Who it's for
A living room or entertainment area with a TV and a few video sources suits the simple setup. Buyers wanting a wireless sound system, a large room or true surround speakers should look at other systems.
Pros and cons
- Gemstone satellite speakers
- Universal remote control
- Wired subwoofer connection
- Mounts on floor, tabletop or wall
- Wireless claims conflict with wired specs
- Cable and stand contents not itemized
- Remote needs two AA batteries
- Bulky shipping size and weight
Performance notes
The satellites handle mid and high sound while the wired subwoofer supplies bass, which is how a small speaker system can fill a modest room. The listing credits improved digital acoustic processing. The remote talks to the system over infrared, so it needs a line of sight.
