Design Goals  

 
The foremost design goal for our best Instant Home Theater system was to create 
dynamic range, system clarity, and bass response of equivalent component home 
theater system with the ease of hookup and use consumers expect of a powered 
soundbar system. Specifically this includes: 
 

  Provide superior center channel intelligibility and off-axis enjoyment. 

  Play all 5.1 audio channels from DTS or Dolby Digital sources augmented by our 

proprietary SDA® technology to create a broad, deep and tall sound field that 
extends along the side walls and overhead with a high degree of specificity. 

  Match an atypical (for a bar) 80Hz high pass with 80Hz low pass of the sub.  

This is normal for component home theater systems and results in minimal 
localization of the sub and superior blending between both speakers.  

 

System Description 

 

The system consists of a 44 5/8" amplified bar incorporating 5 - 2 1/2" convex dome 
drivers and 3 - 1/2" silk dome tweeters, each driven by its own amplifier channel. The 
powered wireless subwoofer is an MDF 3/4" thick cabinet with a downfiring 8" long throw 
composite PP cone with rubber surround. A backup remote control is included.   
 
Enclosure & Grille 
The enclosure is ABS + PMMA  (Polymethyl methacrylate), an additive that’s commonly 
known as Plexiglass. It adds rigidity, torsional strength and higher damping factor to the 
enclosure so it’s more acoustically “dead” and less resonant.  

 

The grille frame is molded ABS with cutouts for the drivers and tweeters so no lattice 
grille interferes with each driver’s output. This frame is then covered with acoustically 
transparent grille cloth. 

Midwoofer/High Frequency Drivers  

  5 - 2 1/2" mid-woofers – Center, L&R, Surround L&R 

  3 - 1/2" silk dome tweeters – Left, Center, Right 

 
 
 
Installation Options 

  The bar comes with two rubber feet that can be easily removed and re-installed 

anywhere along the length of the bar to allow installation directly in front of any TV, 
regardless of the type of stand provided.  

  Keyhole slots located 24 1/2" apart allow either onwall installation or attachment to 

an aftermarket display mount and center channel bracket.    

   

 

High excursion 2 1/2" mid-woofer
