Bring cinema home
Supreme surround sound, incredible immersion
360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates phantom speakers around your room, making you feel like you’re inside the scene. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are two technologies straight out of the cinema, now in your living room, truly bringing cinema home.
How it works
How is this powerful sound achieved from a single soundbar?
X-Balanced Speaker Units are specially shaped to increase sound pressure for deep, punchy bass, and reduce driver excursion for less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
The ultimate surround sound experience
Phantom speakers surround you at every angle, so each movie is as immersive as the creator intended.
Technologies from the cinema, now at home
Experience all the latest movie audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced.
Perfectly optimised for your living space
Using built-in mics to measure the position of objects in your room, sound is auto calibrated.
Enhanced dialogue and bass
Never miss with our unique speaker for vocal clarity and bass resonance.
