Sony micro music shelf system5/25/2023 ![]() For small to medium-sized rooms and playing background music, the CMT-SBT100 will work just fine. The speakers are just not big enough and you’ll be pushing the system to hard which will shorten the lifespan of the drivers. I wouldn’t recommend the CMT-SBT100 if you’re looking for a party system. ![]() The CMT-SBT100 is great for most individuals and rooms in the home. While the CMT-SBT100 isn’t a “bass system” is still does a good job on the low-end for its size. The sound is well balanced and includes a bass boost feature. This is largely due to its affordable price point and incredible sound quality the CMT-SBT100 produces. This stereo system is 5 years old not but continues to sell well. If you’re looking for a premium compact home stereo system, then the Sony CMT-SBT100 HiFi System is definitely one to consider. You can even set the volume level you would like the alarm to play at which is useful if you’re a heavy sleeper! The clock and alarm can only be set up using the remote control. Obviously, the CD or USB needs to be inserted to use either of these. You can program the alarm to go off playing a CD, USB or AM/FM station. The CMT-SBT100 has a built-in clock and allows you to set up different timers or alarms. Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, and AAC. The labels are displayed on the CMT-SBT100 LCD so it’s easy to see where you’re at. For CD-R/RW and USBs, you can use the remote to explore and scroll through folders to locate tracks. There is also a separate button for bass and treble tone for easy adjustment. The remote allows you to adjust all of the above functions but includes a separate button for each input making it quick and easy to switch between these. In addition, you have an EQ button (adjusting bass and treble) and the Bass Boost engage/disengage. These buttons include power on/off, input function, Bluetooth pairing, stop, play/pause, track skip/radio tuning, and CD eject. On the receiver itself, you have the ability to control some of the CMT-SBT100 functions. Unfortunately, this is not supported in North America. The CMT-SBT100 supports DAB and DAB+ for countries who allow digital audio broadcasting. This is more radio stations than I think I’ve ever listened to! Tuning and switching presets can only be done using the CMT-SBT100 remote control and not on the receiver itself. The built-in AM/FM radio enables you to program up to 30 presets (20 FM and 10 AM) of your favorite stations. When paired via Bluetooth, the device can be controlled using the audio buttons on the receiver or even via the remote control. The CMT-SBT100 also incorporates NFC (near field communication) for quickly pairing an NFC enabled device. ![]() Pairing your Bluetooth device is quick and easy and the 33-foot range is very solid, even working when in other rooms (this will vary from property to property). The CMT-SBT100 features Bluetooth version 3 which is a little outdated but for this system works just fine and supports AAC and apt-X. The AUX input is located on the rear panel which keeps clutter on the front to a minimum. The headphone output and USB port are conveniently located on the front of the CMT-SBT100 making them easy to access. There is also a built-in CD player and AM/FM radio. In addition, you have a ⅛-inch headphone out. The CMT-SBT100 allows for three inputs including ⅛-Inch AUX, USB, and Bluetooth. Because the system is so small, it won’t take up too much room either. This makes it an easy system to install with any decor or in any living space. There is nothing particularly interesting about the system while at the same time it isn’t imposing with any fancy colors or features. When it comes to aesthetics, the CMT-SBT100 is a standard looking stereo system. The mid-range and high-frequencies are clean and clear with a decent balance across the frequency spectrum. Although I wouldn’t consider the CMT-SBT100 a “bass system” it certainly produces a good bass sound, especially with the bass boost engaged. While the CMT-SBT100 isn’t part of Sony’s XB range, it does have a bass boost feature. This is due to Sony S-Master Digital Amplifier technology which produces bigger sound using less energy. The combined 50W system is surprisingly loud for its size with a good low-end response. Each speaker features a 4” low-frequency driver with a 1½” tweeter driven by the receiver’s amplifier at 25W Peak per channel. The CMT-SBT100 is a 3-piece home stereo system with a compact receiver and two bookshelf-sized speakers. The Sony CMT-SBT100 HiFi System is an ultra-compact home stereo system with some seriously awesome Sony sound including Extra Bass… or in this case, Bass Boost. Their headphones and speakers are especially popular incorporating Sony’s XB or Extra Bass feature. Sony is one of the top consumer electronics brands in the world.
