Overview
Mounting it on the wall or setting it below the screen, you link this Denon bar to the TV with one HDMI ARC cable and place the wireless subwoofer anywhere in the room. A dialogue enhancer lifts speech without raising the volume, and Bluetooth streams music from a phone.
A separate wireless subwoofer gives movies the low end a slim bar alone cannot, while the dialogue mode holds voices clear. Music streaming is Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi or multi room support listed.
Who it's for
TV watchers who want movie bass and clear speech with one cable to the set. People building a whole home Wi-Fi speaker system should look at networked bars.
Pros and cons
- Wireless subwoofer for deeper bass
- Dialogue enhancer for clear speech
- Single HDMI ARC cable setup
- Low profile clears the IR sensor
- No Wi-Fi or multi room
- Virtual surround, no rear speakers
- Bluetooth latency listed at 200 ms
Performance notes
Bass depth comes from the separate subwoofer, so where you place it in the room changes how full the sound feels. Surround effects are virtual, created by processing the front drivers, which widens the stage without true rear channels.
