Denon announced the new HEOS HomeCinema wireless soundbar and subwoofer system, the latest in the evolution of the HEOS wireless multi-room sound system. The HEOS HomeCinema upgrades the sound of any flat TV while also working as a powerful speaker set for the HEOS wireless music system.
According to the press release, the wireless soundbar features dual 2-inch by 5-inch precision drivers that reproduce the upper bass and midrange audio, while dual 20mm dome tweeters reproduce the entire treble range, with response extending to 20 kHz. The matching wireless HEOS HomeCinema subwoofer features dual 5.25-inch woofers and its level can be easily controlled via the HEOS app. The compact subwoofer can be placed horizontally or vertically for the widest range of installation options.
The unit provides a HDMI input and output (with TV audio return channel). Most flat TV-sets come with one of the HDMI inputs equipped with Audio Return Channel (ARC), which lets users listen to audio from a source device (such as a cable or satellite box) as well as being able to listen to audio from the TV's internal tuner or from a smart TV's built-in content streaming capabilities. For TVs without ARC, users can connect the HEOS HomeCinema via one of the two available digital audio connections—both optical and coaxial digital audio inputs are provided as well as an IR learning function of the TV remote. Thanks to the HEOS App control and TV remote learning function, the setup and operation are easy. In addition users can use the TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar.
HEOS HomeCinema features built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and listeners can enjoy enveloping surround sound thanks to Denon's exclusive Virtual Surround processing, which uses advanced psychoacoustics algorithms that simulate the surround sound of a multichannel home theater speaker system. Dolby Digital Plus let you enjoy 5.1-based sound from leading video online services for premium content.
The system can be connected to an existing Wi-Fi network to bring audio streaming to any—or all— rooms with the HEOS app, available for both iOS, Android and Kindle Fire. HEOS delivers a user’s favorite music from the world’s leading online music services including top cloud sources, legacy sources, and any smart device, to the room users want to hear the music they enjoy.
