Which SurroundBar is right for me?

There are three SurroundBar models to fit almost every application. Regardless of which SurroundBar you choose, be prepared to experience full-fledged surround sound from one speaker! First, we need to determine what your needs are and if you have any existing equipment:

1. You don't plan on using or don't have an existing surround sound receiver or amplifier.


Best Performance, Total Integrated Package

SurroundBar 360º DVD Theater is an all-inclusive Home Theater system, including DVD player, AM/FM tuner and integrated amplifier. SurroundBar (42" Model) and SurroundBar 50 are single speaker bars that must be used with an outboard 5.1 channel receiver/amplifier. If you want an all-in-one integrated system, and don't plan on using or don't have an existing amplifier, SurroundBar 360º DVD Theater is the best choice.

The 360 also includes exclusive technologies like PowerPort®, Feed Forward™ Distortion Suppression Technology and SDA® Digital Surround -- so there is no need for an additional powered subwoofer. Of course, if you're crave massive bass, the 360° has a subwoofer output so you can add a powered subwoofer.

Easiest Hookup, Wireless Subwoofer


For the least hassles and easiest hookup, the SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater works easily with ANY source that has an RCA stereo output such as a DVD Player, TV, or even video game console like Microsoft's XBOX® 360 or Sony's PlayStation® 3. With Front SDA Stage Array, you'll get wrap around sound that will make you feel like you are part of the movie, concert or video game! Best of all, the SurroundBar SDA IHT comes with a wireless subwoofer for deep, powerful bass you can put anywhere in the room. Just plug it into an electrical outlet and stream wireless bass from the soundbar to your subwoofer. You can even use your current TV remote control to adjust the volume; the SurroundBar SDA IHT will "self learn" to work with your existing remote.

2. You already have a receiver and DVD player, or have your heart set on one.



Two passive SurroundBar models are available to meet your needs. Both are available in either black or titanium. Just add a Digital Surround Receiver, a Subwoofer (recommended), your TV and you're ready to go! Original SurroundBar (42" Model) is a great match for smaller-to-moderate size screens, while the wider SurroundBar 50 (51" wide) is best for larger screens, or for anyone who just wants bigger, more immersive sound.

SurroundBar uses Rear SDA Surround Technology. SurroundBar 50 steps up the surround sound experience, using both Front SDA Stage Array & Rear SDA Surround Technology. This setup provides a fuller, more enveloping surround experience for your listening pleasure. In addition, SurroundBar 50 uses exotic materials such as Neodymium magnets. As a result, SurroundBar 50 provides a richer surround experience, can handle more power and can play louder with greater bass capability.
