Bigger Drivers
This speaker is powered by bigger, better, more advanced 4-inch polypropylene injection cone woofers that provide the lower frequency response needed to get a deep, full sound and better bottom end. This soundbar provides all the oomph customers want – in a slim form factor that doesn’t overpower their TV.

Titanium Tweeters
Movies, TV shows and music sound crystal clear, thanks to speakers that are outfitted with 1-in. titanium tweeters, instead of the standard silk dome. Titanium is stiffer, which means it’s quicker to respond, providing a crisp, clean sound. Talk about easy listening.
Clear Dialog
If your customers complain their TV’s dialog is difficult to hear, this soundbar takes care of the problem. Its carefully-engineered design ensures that dialog comes through loud and clear – without having to turn the TV up to volume 60.
LCR Channels
With independent left, center and right channels you get all the benefits of a true front-stage, yet in a discrete soundbar form factor. Just connect an A/V receiver, surrounds and subwoofer for an amazing theater system.

Low Profile Cabinet
Our engineers started with a thin, extruded aluminum cabinet that provides strength and rigidity, while maximizing internal air volume. The result is an elegant speaker that sounds just as good as it looks!

Hidden IR
Many installations require the use of an IR repeating system, so we've placed a knock-out right behind the grill to let you neatly hide it out of sight. Say goodbye to unsightly stuck-on IR receivers.

Integrated Wire Management
The IR cable and all speaker connections are made through a single terminal cup, making it easy to run wires (and hide them) in tight quarters behind a flat panel TV. Yep, we thought of that too.

Flexible Mounting Options
Included with the soundbar are a wall bracket for mounting below the TV and a "kickstand" for placement on a shelf. If you're using one of our Strong™ articulating TV mounts, there is also an optional soundbar bracket.
