The bar, called Soundtrack, is part of the company’s SHIFT series.
Soundtrack features digital optical and analog stereo inputs to connect to the audio outputs of Blu-ray players, game consoles, and settop boxes.
The 5-inch by 36-inch by 2.25-inch bar, now in satin black instead of the originally planned gloss black, incorporates two 4.5-inch active bass/midrange drivers using mineral-filled polypropylene for low mass and high stiffness, two 4-inch passive radiators of the same material, and two 1-inch pure-aluminum-dome tweeters in physically separated left and right chambers to boost clarity and channel separation. Power output is 2×25 watts.
The sub is a dual-ported model with 8-inch driver and 100-watt RMS Class D amplifier and DSP. It fits in a standard A/V cabinet.
The soundbar features IR learning so that consumers can use their existing TV remote to power the soundbar on and off, select inputs, and control volume and mute.
