A compact subwoofer with a 5.25-inch driver makes it easy to install under a desk.
The front of the soundbar is equipped with RGB lighting, and the LEDs illuminate in 16.8 million colors, illuminating the gaming scene with motion effects such as aurora and waves.
The five drivers, consisting of two up-firing midrange drivers, two tweeters for efficient sound dispersion, and a subwoofer, are driven by three amplifiers, each controlled by a proprietary multi-core DSP, to deliver clear, impactful sound reproduction across every part of the audio spectrum.
The built-in Dolby Audio decoder lets you enjoy Dolby Digital content from connected game consoles and other devices in surround sound via HDMI ARC or optical digital input. When connected to a PC/Mac via USB, it also supports up to 24-bit/96kHz 5.1 multi-channel playback for high-quality surround sound.
