V
IZIO, Inc., the #1 American-based TV brand1 and America's #1 sound bar company2, today announces that the VIZIO Elevate, the flagship of VIZIO's newest generation of sound bars, has won a Red Dot.
One of the world's most renowned design awards, the Red Dot Award Product Design for 2020 saw 6,500 submissions from 60 countries. This is the 17th award or accolade for VIZIO's Elevate sound bar since its debut in January at CES 2020
A Revolutionary Design with Industry Leading Sound
The VIZIO Elevate sound bar pushes the limits of performance. From stereo music to immersive home cinema with Dolby Atmos and DTSX, the Elevate sound bar utilizes a patent-pending auto-rotating speaker design that intelligently adapts the position of the height drivers for use as either forward or upfiring speakers, providing a premium cinematic home theater experience in a unique, technologically advanced design.
The VIZIO Elevate's journey from ideation to production has been a fascinating exercise. We started by asking ourselves how we could give consumers the best possible performance without making them pay for features they can only use half the time, said Bill Baxter, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. The result was a marriage of form and function that looks as beautiful as it sounds. When you're watching a movie with Dolby Atmos or DTSX, the upfiring speakers will bounce height audio effects off your ceiling. But when you're listening to music, those drivers rotate down and complement the performance of a standard 5.1.4 sound bar in direct mode.
Detailed Evaluation of the Products Entered
The Red Dot Award Product Design offers designers and manufacturers from all over the world a platform for assessing their products. The international jury is composed of experienced experts from different disciplines and has been convening for around 65 years in order to select the year's best designs. The adjudication process lasts several days and is based on two essential criteria the jurors test all of the entries in order to assess not just the aesthetic but also the materials selected, the level of craftsmanship, the surface structure, ergonomics and functionality. After intensive discussions, they make a decision on the design quality of the products. True to the motto In search of good design and innovation, only the best designs receive an award.
