Harman Kardon SB 30 5.1 Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer
Home theatre installations typically involve five loudspeakers, a subwoofer or two, and lots of speaker wire. Not every room can accommodate all that stuff - and not everyone wants to live with it. As a far simpler, more elegant solution, the Harman Kardon SB 30 home theatre sound bar system offers a single wireless subwoofer combined with an extremely advanced loudspeaker that connects directly to your TV, DVD, Blu-ray Disc player or game console.
Where the SB 30 primarily differs from its predecessors is in terms of its ultra-new and exclusive HARMAN Wave surround-mode technology - which ultimately delivers a compelling surround-sound experience from 13 transducers fed by 11 amplified channels. A classic overachiever, the sleek SB 30 sound bar exceeds expectations, delivering immersive, peak-performance sound for your films, TV shows and games. All from a system you barely know is there.
Product Features:
- Full 5.1 surround-sound experience from just one loudspeaker, no matter the shape and size of the room (exclusive to Harman)
- Wireless subwoofer delivers deep bass response and allows for numerous placement options, since it does not connect physically to the sound bar speaker
- Exclusive HARMAN Wave surround-mode technology uses extremely advanced digital signal processing (Triple DSP) to deliver a realistic surround-sound experience to multiple listeners, no matter the shape and size of the room
- Dolby Volume helps you maintain the same volume level - no matter what you're watching, be it a film, TV show or TV commercial
- Stylish, sleek sound bar speaker looks great in any room
Pros
- Clear, crisp sound.
- Impressive imaging, at least in the front soundstage.
- Surprisingly good stereo music performance.
- Bass, while fast and tight, could use a little more power for movies.
- No LCD or on-screen menu.
- No HDMI ports.
- Remote is a little basic for the price.
The Harman Kardon SB 30 soundbar isn't the loudest, but it strikes a solid balance between home theater dynamics and smooth, natural music playback.
