In principle, only a simple 2.1-chael solution. Thanks to decent power reserves, it has more sound potential than many more sophisticated surround sound arrangements. The home cinema audio product package consisting of two main components produces 300 watts, according to the relatively reliable RMS measuring method.nThe central unit, the soundbar, contains two capable full-range speakers and matching power amplifiers, as well as the signal processing and control components, of course. None of this is particularly sophisticated, but it is of high quality. This also applies to the subwoofer supplied, whose cable is only needed for the power socket - the audio signal for enriching the low-frequency level comes via radio. The actual main content can be conveniently fed into the soundbar central unit via Bluetooth or via optical digital audio input. In addition, a playback-compatible USB port is integrated, for example, for direct playback from USB storage media.
