Energy Tower 8 G2 Wood, we analyze the most charming sound tower of Energy Sistem

We have returned to the charge with our Insights weekly, this time we return with a product of Energy System, The Spanish firm is determined to democratize many products in the United States until now, they were difficult to access for the common user, this is how they have popularized their sound towers to become the main supplier in Spain.

We have in our hands a redesign of one of the sound towers that offers the best balance between quality and price on the market, the Energy Tower 8 G2 Wood. Do not miss all the details of this product with us and discover why its 120 W of power and connectivity have become so famous.

You probably have not considered it, but read this analysis carefully, because after knowing the product you will probably want one at home. The sound towers are the correct tandem between space, design and connectivity, without being strident or out of tune in our home. As always, we go there with the most decisive aspects.

Design: Wood in furniture, why not in technology

We have focused on plastic and metal as the most classic materials for this type of product but… why not make them out of wood and thus satisfy the needs of those who have their home furnished in a more classical way? That is exactly what Energy Sistem has thought when redesigning its classic Energy Tower 8 G2. Effectively, built in conglomerate like others to offer an impeccable soundboard, now they have decided to laminate it in wood from top to bottom, thus offering an attractive design when matching with classic furniture and with parquet floors. An important success, since in general with these products we have no choice but to choose between black and white, which often produces somewhat obnoxious color combinations in the living room. Technology and design don't always have to confront each other.

This Tower 8 G2 from Energy Sistem offers us a height of 105 centimeters with a width and length of 17 and 22 centimeters respectively, contained in the volume it occupies and high enough so that we can use it without too many postural complications, at the height of the hands in most users.

In addition, to facilitate the matter, the button panel is arranged in the form of a panel at the top while on the front we find an LCD viewfinder in bluish tones that will give us basic information about what we are playing and the volume. A point to highlight is that the LCD viewfinder turns off when we do not interact with it, offering a careful and inconspicuous design, nobody wants that screen on at all times, and the detail is appreciated.

Technical characteristics: You will not lack sound or quality

Energy Sistem promises us a Hi-Fi sound system -high fidelity- with an absolute power of 120W due to the combination of its speakers. We thus have a 1,5-inch 10W speaker, two more 4-inch speakers at 30W and on the side the most prominent, 6,5-inch 50W to offer us 120W of total power, You will not miss absolutely anything in terms of sound direction and quality. In the same way, they have taken into account the improvement of the bass with the silk-like panels on the front speakers and the rear recess that increases the bass. However, it will be to the consumer's taste, because the rear wheels will allow us to adjust bass and treble to our liking, we are not going to bother the neighbor too much at high powers.

The sound system is based on a 24-bit, 96 kHz digital audio processor, accompanied by a 2-band analog equalizer and as a passive element its wooden acoustic box to generate the sound we expect from this product.

Connectivity: Versatility and comfort, a product for the home

We cannot limit such a tower of sound with the absence of connectivity, it would be too clumsy a move, and Energy Sistem does not tend to commit this type of atrocities in the world of technology. We have all this available:

• Bluetooth 4.1
• S / PDIF optical digital input
• RCA analog input
• 3,5 mm jack analog input
• RCA stereo analog output
• FM radio
• USB music player
• MicroSD card input

We emphasize that it has Bluetooth although it is a minimum requirement. What is not so minimal is the fact that we can access music offline through its card reader microSD or its input with multimedia management for USB - we should not use it to charge devices because it is not its purpose. Thanks to its support on the top for tablets and mobile phones, we can almost turn it into a multimedia center.

Added as the analog inputs or FM Radio They are rather to get us out of a hurry, the reality is that few of us use it today, but they never hurt. What if it is designed for the most exquisite is its digital audio output, This means that, for example, we can connect it to the television to have a high-quality audio system in the living room, and even to the PlayStation 4.

User experience and editor's opinion

We've been getting a lot out of the Energy Tower 8 G2 Wood, and the reality is that we loved it. I would say that of the Energy Sistem range of sound towers it is my favorite in terms of design and possibilities. It has a lot of power and a lot of audio quality without falling into fanfare, and that makes me fall in love. It is clear that it is not the cheapest in the range, but it is the most attractive and is at the height of clearly more expensive product ranges.

Count with one remote control That as I say, makes it the favorite companion of the rest of electronic devices to consume multimedia content that we have in our home. This translates to around 150 euros depending on the point of sale we choose, we already know that we have this Energy Tower in Amazon, El Corte Inglés and the Energy Sistem website, among others. If you are looking for a well-designed sound tower capable of covering all the needs of your living room or leisure center, this is the product that I have no choice but to recommend.
