Description
Soundbars are audio playback systems designed to deliver stereo or surround sound in indoor environments, with the distinct advantage of housing all speakers within a single cabinet. This design not only saves space but also eliminates the need for multiple cables typically required for connecting separate speakers.
The technology was first introduced in 1998 by Altec under the name “Voice of The Digital Theatre,” making its debut in global markets. Early models of these systems utilized active speakers, a trend that continues today. By adding a subwoofer, audio files can be easily played in surround or stereo formats, such as Dolby Digital.
In 2005, Polk Audio sought to address frequency interference caused by the proximity of similar speakers. Through precise calculations in the design of speaker cabinets and correct angling, they successfully prevented the “Cancelling Crosstalk” phenomenon, leading to optimized speaker models. Following this, companies like Philips and Yamaha made significant innovations in soundbar technology. Notably, Yamaha introduced a soundbar with 42 speakers arranged in a specific configuration, all capable of automatically adapting to environmental conditions using internal software and microphones. This achievement earned them the “Best of Show Award” in 2005.
Today, soundbars are widely used in homes and workplaces, not only for their compact design and quick installation under TVs but also for their precise engineering that delivers extraordinary audio quality for cinematic and musical formats. These stereo soundbars offer quick and easy installation, wireless playback of various audio files via Bluetooth, and they can function as Plug & Play devices with various smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more, without the need for complicated setup.
