Active Soundbar Speaker: The active soundbar speaker incorporates a five driver array that includes forward facing front left, center, and front right channels; along with upward firing Dolby Atmos/DTS:X enabled height channels. Each channel consists of a 2" full-range driver. This 5-driver configuration, with dedicated front, center, and height channel, delivers an immersive audio experience of Dolby Atmos/DTS:X soundtracks.

• The active soundbar speaker can be positioned on a flat tabletop surface.
• The soundbar should be centered above or below your flat-panel television.
• Make sure there are no obstructions above the the top-firing Dolby Atmos enabled drivers.

Wireless Powered Sub: The wireless powered subwoofer houses two 5.25\” bi-directional woofers for deep, accurate bass. The two 5.25" woofers feature a bi-directional configuration with the woofers firing on opposite ends of the enclosure. This bi-directional configuration minimizes vibration and distortion at any volume for big, clear, high-quality bass so you can enjoy impactful movie and music soundtracks. You can adjust the sub output level independent from the system volume.

• Because it utilizes 5GHz wireless technology, you can place the subwoofer almost anywhere in your room (up to 33\’ from the soundbar).
• It is better to place the subwoofer near the soundbar for optimum sound quality. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
