The Bowfell is sold on either size or price. Also, one end of the Bowfell is used for circuitry, so the right-hand speaker isn’t even at the end. Partly this is due to size: you can’t get much space between the left and right speakers in such a small device. It gives TV sound a boost, too, but it lacks stereo separation. Impressive, considering there’s no subwoofer. We put it through its paces with some Skrillex and it filled the room with party-worthy bass that made the phone’s half-decent sound seem beneath contempt. The 50W Bowfell’s sound quality is on a par with a good Bluetooth speaker and can handle high volumes and big bass without distortion. There are also basic controls for navigating USB tracks. You can choose a couple of digital sound processing (DSP) modes, too: rock, jazz or flat. You can cycle between modes, pair Bluetooth and control the volume. The remote control is small but solidly built. The surprisingly small Bowfell comes with a solidly built remote control The sound also seemed marginally louder via the cable. Sound was bass-ier and louder than my TV’s built-in sound. A coloured light behind the grille indicates the selected mode. Setup was simple: the power button on the side or the ‘Mode’ button on the remote control cycle through whether you’re using a cable or Bluetooth to connect.

It comes with an RCA cable for the latter that plugs into the red and white audio outputs on the back of most TVs. Your TV can connect via the Bowfell’s digital optical input or analogue line-in 3.5mm jack. In front of any modern TV it will look rather small: it’s wider than most portable Bluetooth speakers, but not as wide as you’d expect a soundbar to be. Instead, it’s designed to sit on a table in front of a smaller, stand-mounted TV. It’s also not designed to be wall-mounted: there are no fittings for this purpose. We put both to the test.įirst impressions of the 2.1-channel Bowfell were that it’s surprisingly small at 72x388x54mm (HxWxD), so it’s nowhere near as wide as even a small TV. For just £15 more, the Majority Audio Snowdon II is larger and puts out 120W, more than double the Bowfell’s 50W power. #Rca soundar review upgradeIt’s sold as an instant upgrade on the weedy sound and muddy dialogue that plague many slender TVs.
