It’s easy to transform any room into the ideal listening environment. Advanced Digital Cinema Automatic Calibration (ADCAC) optimises audio performance to ensure balanced sound. Use the supplied mic to measure the acoustic properties of your room in relation to where you sit, and the position of your speakers.

Simplify your sound setup with HDMI ARC output

The HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) means audio is also carried back to your sound bar from compatible TVs, without the need for an extra audio cable. Every device connected to your TV can now be heard through the multi bar, so you can hear all of your audio in high quality.

Optical inputs for easy connection
