The Ambisound SoundBar features five amplifiers, similar to a 5.1 system, integrated into a single horizontal sound bar. It uses a host of technologies including array processing, precise driver positioning and psycho-acoustic innovation to simulate a true surround sound system without the hassle of running wires to rear speakers.

The system also features a three-band equaliser and DoubleBass deep bass performance to create a smooth cross over between sounds.
