My first impression of this soundbar system was how small it is. The sub and the main bar are both compact. The sub fits under my couch when turned sideways. The manufacturer says they designed the sub to work vertically as well as horizontally. I could not tell a real difference when I tried it either way. The main soundbar is lightweight and has a few touch controls on the top with a row of busy indicator lights that shine through the front of the grill in response to inputs from the remote. The inputs for the system are all on the soundbar section with HDMI, optical, and analog inputs on the back, plus Bluetooth built in to connect wirelessly. The majority of setups would just use the HDMI ARC connection and allow the TV to control the soundbar system and volume. ... MoreMy first impression of this soundbar system was how small it is.

The inputs for the system are all on the soundbar section with HDMI, optical, and analog inputs on the back, plus Bluetooth built in to connect wirelessly. The majority of setups would just use the HDMI ARC connection and allow the TV to control the soundbar system and volume. For older TVs that do not have ARC, you will connect the included optical cable and a standard HDMI cable, which will give you the HDMI control functionality and high quality sound over the optical connection. I tested the Yamaha SR-C30 in my living room, a bedroom, and with my desktop computer. I think the best application for sure was in the bedroom. The subwoofer on this system does a lot of heavy lifting with the crossover point so high that some male dialog was coming from the sub at least partially. I found the closer the sub is to the soundbar, the less pronounced this effect is, but when the sub was on the other side of the room, it sounded a little weird. Using this little system for sound on my computer was not pleasant, the drivers on the bar are too close to your face, and the bar is wider than my 27" monitor. I feel like the sound is really not suited to super close listening, the only positive I found with this set up was some really wide stereo separation. Overall sound quality was much better than TV speakers alone by far. The soundbar does not seem to have a lot of power in the bar part, but plenty for the sub. The sound quality from the bar was a little “woody” sounding, not a lot of high end, no low end and felt “flat”. The subwoofer brings it to life and fills out the overall sound, but with the sub all the way down, it is basically TV speakers pointed forward. The bar does not play super loud, but it's plenty for the smaller spaces it was made for. When watching TV and movies, I found the dialog sounded good and pushed forward, and the Clear Voice button on the remote made a little improvement for some dialog. The Bass Extension button pushes the sub into a more active role, filling in low end for what seems like all of the sound coming from the bar, which I found a bit intrusive. It seems this is the default mode as it was enabled every time I turned on the TV. I would not use this system as a primary means of listening to music, I found the sound flat and lifeless with a lot of distortion, these drivers really appear to be tuned for video. The remote control is really cheap and disappointing, the buttons are stiff and rubbery, and the text is right on the edge of legibility in light, there’s no way you’ll be able to see the button functions in a dark room. Even for a budget soundbar, this remote is pathetic. I was surprised to see a Yamaha logo on it, I figured they just had them shipped in from some factory and threw them in the box as an afterthought. Maybe they think nobody will use it, but I found to get satisfactory sound out of different sources and programming, I needed to make adjustments with the remote pretty frequently. Overall, a budget soundbar with budget sound who’s primary selling point is size. If you’re looking for a compact system with a separate subwoofer for a small space, this will do just fine.

For such a small soundbar, this Yamaha packs a serious punch. It’s an easy way to upgrade your TV’s built-in speakers and may be a great upgrade for your living room. Plus, because of how compact it is it’s perfect for placing under smaller TVs without looking ridiculous, and that may be what makes this the perfect soundbar for bedrooms, offices, dens, and kids’ playrooms. You get the soundbar and subwoofer out of the box, a nice remote that may be on the smaller side (more on that later), an optical cable, and some rubber pads to place on the subwoofer. I chose to pair this with my 32” home office TV. Given the size of the soundbar itself, it fits perfectly underneath my TV.

I opted to connect via HDMI ARC instead of using the included optical cable. But beware: there’s only one HDMI port on this unit, so you won’t be plugging in any devices directly into the soundbar if you go this route, and it takes up your HDMI ARC port on your TV. So, if HDMI port availability on your TV is a concern, then there’s a chance the included optical cable may suit your purposes better. Another note: if you have an older TV that doesn’t support HDMI ARC but does have an optical out port, you can still enjoy most of the benefits of HDMI ARC including TV volume controls and the ability to power on and off the TV and soundbar with your TV’s remote. This TV allows you to connect via both HDMI (for remote control function) and optical (to relay sound from the TV to the soundbar). Given how small and easily lost the remote seems, and simply out of convenience, I would opt to use either ARC or this method to connect to your TV. The sound quality on this thing is mightily impressive for the size, but you should expect great sound from Yamaha who makes quality audio receivers and speakers, along with a breadth of musical instruments. Let’s just say, they know what sounds good, and this unit impressed me, especially in its low end and bass. Plus for only a 90-watt system ( I preferred the standard audio setting with bass extension kept on and the subwoofer volume level at about +4. Those options as well as a clear voice toggle and soundbar volume levels can be changed using the included remote or via Yamaha’s mobile app. The app is available on both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store and connects via Bluetooth. Overall, I think that this soundbar is a good offering in the sub $300 category, especially for its sound quality and wireless subwoofer. The lack of ports is a little disappointing even at this price, but if this is for use in a secondary room or bedroom, like it is for me, it may not even be of concern to you. Also, while this does support “Dolby Audio” don’t expect Atmos levels of surround sound, though what this thing puts out will still not disappoint. While I would like to rate it 4.5/5, I can't so I'm rounding up to 5.

This is the second sound bar that I have ever owned. While it does not sound as "full" as my other sound bar and lacks full surround sound features (although it does have a 3D Surround function... more on that later), it is also a lot less expensive and more compact, so that is something to keep in mind. To begin, I was a little dismayed as the sound bar has a single HDMI (ARC) connection. This means that multiple sources of audio must be switched through the television. While I suppose this is not necessarily a bad thing if everything is running through a television with an ARC connection, my original plan was to use this with a computer gaming setup, which is not possible unless your computer has multiple HDMI ports so that you can export an audio signal through ... MoreThis is the second sound bar that I have ever owned. While it does not sound as "full" as my other sound bar and lacks full surround sound features (although it does have a 3D Surround function... more on that later), it is also a lot less expensive and more compact, so that is something to keep in mind. To begin, I was a little dismayed as the sound bar has a single HDMI (ARC) connection. This means that multiple sources of audio must be switched through the television. While I suppose this is not necessarily a bad thing if everything is running through a television with an ARC connection, my original plan was to use this with a computer gaming setup, which is not possible unless your computer has multiple HDMI ports so that you can export an audio signal through one HDMI and then connect your monitor/screen to another HDMI (as most computer monitors do not support ARC the same way televisions do). The irony with this single HDMI (ARC) port, however, is that I was able to use the same type of setup to solve a problem I was having with my other more expensive sound bar, so I suppose that was a positive. Once I figured out how the ARC setting actually works on my television in conjunction with the sound bar, the setup was very simple. Just plug the HDMI cable into the ARC connection on the television and plug the other end into the only HDMI connection on the sound bar. That is about it. Aside from the HDMI connection, it is also possible to play audio via bluetooth or an analog connection. Given this HDMI-ARC connection, I was pleasantly surprised that my television, Apple TV, and sound bar work seamlessly together using my Siri Remote. One remote to turn everything on, control everything, and (ultimately) turn everything off. I did experience an issue after a couple weeks of use where I turned on the system and the sound bar refused to acknowledge changes in volume through either the HDMI-ARC connection or the smartphone app. A quick "reboot" of the sound bar took care of that, though. One nice thing about this setup is that it included a subwoofer that connects wirelessly to the sound bar, so there is no wire that needs to run between the two. This provides some nice flexibility when deciding where to put the subwoofer as it has to be within bluetooth range, but is not constrained by a physical cable/cord. Given the wireless connection, I was a little nervous that there could be some lag between the two, but that has not been an issue. The controls on the sound bar itself are relatively minimal with a smartphone app required for customization. The app allows you to switch inputs, increase the bass, turn on 3D Surround, enable "clear voice" (which does a good job of amplifying individuals speaking so that they are not drowned out or overpowered by a soundtrack, special effects, or background noise in the audio stream). You can also switch between different "sound programs" that include TV, stereo, movie, music, sports, and game. Admittedly, I have not played with this feature much and therein lies the rub with having a smartphone app that controls the sound bar. I want to just turn everything on and go. To have to find my smartphone, open the app, and then change the sound programs is somewhat inconvenient. The app does allow you to control the volume of the sound bar with an option to increase or decrease the level of the subwoofer relative to the sound bar itself. Personally, I found it best to increase the subwoofer one or two (with options that span a range from -4 to 4). The interesting thing, though, is that while that is a good solution for audio playing at a reasonable or higher volume, when the volume is very low, the subwoofer clearly overrides the sound bar audio at that setting. Yet again, it is inconvenient to have to open the application to make these subtle changes "on the fly" as my listening needs changes. With all of that in mind, how does it sound? Again, the sound bar is relatively compact and fits nicely on my desk (located under my wall-mounted television). Given its smaller size, I was worried that the sound would be "tinny" or "hollow," but that is not the case. While the sound bar is no where near as nice as full surround sound system with discrete channel speakers and a stand alone receiver, the sound bar also only needs a single connection to the television. (It can also be wall mounted, if so desired.) For the money, I would have to say this is a pretty nice setup. I actually replaced two HomePods working as a stereo pair with this sound bar and find that I like this better as it is more reliable and also provides more flexibility as I can run any audio from the television through the sound bar (whereas the HomePods could only play audio from the Apple TV, which meant I still had to rely on my television speakers for playing console games). Invariably, this sound bar is also definitely preferable to relying on the tiny speakers that are installed in my television. In summary, I think this is a pretty nice unit for the money. I cannot give a five star rating because it lacks some features found in more expensive sound bars, has a single HDMI input, and some of the audio processing is not perfect, requiring "tweaks" through the app (as described above). While 1/2 stars are not possible, I would probably rate this closer to a 4.5 than a 4 (but definitely not a 5).
The Yamaha SR-C30A is a compact sound bar that offers powerful, room-filling sound with its wireless subwoofer and Bluetooth connectivity. The sound bar is easy to set up and features simple, intuitive controls that make it easy to adjust the volume and change tracks. I use it with my secondary gaming tv hooked up to a PS5. The tiny sound from the TV was inadequate for gaming so I was looking for a soundbar. This Yamaha soundbar makes a huge difference when gaming.

The sound bar is easy to set up and features simple, intuitive controls that make it easy to adjust the volume and change tracks. I use it with my secondary gaming tv hooked up to a PS5. The tiny sound from the TV was inadequate for gaming so I was looking for a soundbar. This Yamaha soundbar makes a huge difference when gaming. The subwoofer delivers booming bass that sounds great in action games and driving games that I play. The wireless connectivity for the subwoofer means that you won't have to deal with messy cords or cables and you can even place it on its side if space is an issue. Another nice feature it has that is rare in soundbars is the analog jack, so you can connect a device such as a keyboard if you want to. This soundbar has a HDMI ARC connection to connect it to a tv. In terms of sound quality, the Yamaha SR-C30A does not disappoint. It delivers clear, dynamic audio that fills the room, and its compact size makes it a great choice for small to medium-sized rooms. If you are struggling to make out dialogue in movies and tv shows, this soundbar will help greatly. It delivers crisp sounding speech in such use cases. The sound bar supports a variety of audio formats, including Bluetooth streaming, and its built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows you to easily connect your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device and stream music wirelessly. Overall, the Yamaha SR-C30A is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a compact sound bar that delivers powerful, room-filling sound with its wireless subwoofer and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s a great soundbar when space is one of your chief considerations as it doesn’t take up a lot of space and so it is great for secondary tv setups. I recommend this soundbar for anyone looking to upgrade their home theater sound system.
The Yamaha SR-C30A 2.1-Channel Indoor Compact Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer is a great bang for your buck product with fantastic audio for those looking to upgrade their home entertainment experience from stock Tv speakers.

The compact design of the sound bar is perfect for those who have limited space, and fits perfectly under my 65in TV. The wireless subwoofer allows for greater placement flexibility, as it can be placed in any location with only having to worry about the power cord. That being said the instructions do not explain how to pair the Sub with the soundbar and I had to google how to pair it and ... MoreThe Yamaha SR-C30A 2.1-Channel Indoor Compact Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer is a great bang for your buck product with fantastic audio for those looking to upgrade their home entertainment experience from stock Tv speakers. With 90 watts of power, this soundbar and wireless subwoofer combination produce excellent sound quality for both music, Video games and movies. The compact design of the sound bar is perfect for those who have limited space, and fits perfectly under my 65in TV. The wireless subwoofer allows for greater placement flexibility, as it can be placed in any location with only having to worry about the power cord. That being said the instructions do not explain how to pair the Sub with the soundbar and I had to google how to pair it and was taken to Yamaha’s website with the step by step instructions on how to pair it. A physical pairing button on the on soundbar would have been a nice addition. One of the standout features of the Yamaha SR-C30A is its Bluetooth connectivity, which allows for easy and convenient wireless streaming from your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible devices. The sound bar also includes HDMI arch, optical, and analog inputs, providing a variety of options for connecting to your TV or other audio sources. I went with the HDMI/arc for my setup, so there would be no issues when switching to different connected devices. The sound bar's intuitive and easy-to-use remote control makes it simple to navigate through the various audio settings and modes. My TV was able to auto-detect what brand the sound bar was and was able to control the sound from the TV remote. That being said you still will need the Yamaha remote if you want to adjust the different sound settings or the bass of the Sub. There is also the Yamaha “SB Remote” app where you can control the settings if you download it from your smart device app store. The only minor nitpick is that Yamaha SR-C30A does not support Dolby Atmos or other immersive audio formats, which some may find limiting, but I haven't really noticed a huge difference since my TV speakers do offer Atmos, but the 3D movie sound setting still sounds really good. Overall, you can't go wrong with the Yamaha SR-C30A 2.1-Channel Indoor Compact Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer; it's an excellent entry soundbar for anyone looking to improve their home audio system. It’s compact design, powerful sound, and versatile connectivity options make it a great choice.
A little background spec on my setup for reference: I have this hooked to a 55" Smart TV (built in FireTV) I am using the fiber optic connector that came with the soundbar I have the subwoofer on the floor and the tv is on a 4' stand One thing that struck me was how thick the sound bar is. It is too thick to fit under the tv to remain hidden. Could just be the height of this stand. Not a huge deal because the status lights are on the top and they'd be hidden if it did fit under it like I wanted. Connecting it was a breeze. I literally opened the box, put it on the stand, subwoofer on the floor, and powered it up. The wireless subwoofer synched up automatically (and there's a status light to let you know) and the fiber optic cable went smoothly between devices. I ... MoreA little background spec on my setup for reference: I have this hooked to a 55" Smart TV (built in FireTV) I am using the fiber optic connector that came with the soundbar I have the subwoofer on the floor and the tv is on a 4' stand One thing that struck me was how thick the sound bar is.

I literally opened the box, put it on the stand, subwoofer on the floor, and powered it up. The wireless subwoofer synched up automatically (and there's a status light to let you know) and the fiber optic cable went smoothly between devices. I added the soundbar through the standard FireTV interface and it found it and added it on the first try. A few buttons later and I could control the soundbar and the tv with the same remote. You will still need the soundbar remote to choose sound settings, but for everyday use it's great to just have the one. The sound is pretty impressive for the size of the bar itself. The subwoofer does a good job of issuing bass when needed and I haven't noticed a delay in it even though it's wireless. I love not having a cable between the bar and subwoofer. It has a clear voice setting, which is nice and it does a good job of isolating the voices from the background noise. This was a huge plus for this particular tv setup. It also has other modes (movie, sports, etc) and you can tell the difference, but we fixed it on the voice setting for us. One annoyance factor is the wireless subwoofer has a flashing red light when the soundbar is shut off and it can't synch. I get it, I know it's useful and has a purpose, but at night we shut down the tv and the soundbar and we can see that little flashing red light against the wall. I wish it would quit flashing after a while and continue searching. This is in a bedroom setup and it works great for that space. I think the size and design is meant for something along that size (or an apartment) and not for a huge tv and entertainment area. It fits that purpose very well. It doesn't have all the punch and bells and whistles, but it does a good job of vastly improving the tv speaker with some depth, quality, and bass. The ease of getting it set up and the wireless subwoofer make it a great addition.
Few names are more strongly associated with music and sound than Yamaha. A full range of musical instruments, amplifiers, synthesizers, mixers, and speakers can complement any budding creators’ studio with a single shopping cart, and the company’s century-plus of experience yields high quality gear at any price point. The Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar with wireless subwoofer is an apparent expansion of the SR-C20A, featuring a nearly identical design while addressing the earlier soundbar’s biggest shortcoming: a lack of big, room-filling bass. The dedicated subwoofer certainly helps fill in the low end here, delivering an excellent balance of sound quality and volume that’s hard to beat at this price. Still just as compact as before, the SR-C30A is an excellent update to ... MoreFew names are more strongly associated with music and sound than Yamaha.

The Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar with wireless subwoofer is an apparent expansion of the SR-C20A, featuring a nearly identical design while addressing the earlier soundbar’s biggest shortcoming: a lack of big, room-filling bass. The dedicated subwoofer certainly helps fill in the low end here, delivering an excellent balance of sound quality and volume that’s hard to beat at this price. Still just as compact as before, the SR-C30A is an excellent update to the standalone soundbar, and a couple small criticisms don’t detract from a great experience. - Unboxing and Setup Arriving in a smaller box than anticipated for a subwoofer & soundbar combination, unboxing is a straightforward affair. First impressions are just how small the soundbar is - at about two feet wide, it’s closer in size to some bluetooth speakers than soundbar systems. The subwoofer feels hefty and can be set up either standing or flat as space allows, with included feet allowing you to place it anywhere without damaging surfaces or the subwoofer. Both power cables (one direct into the subwoofer, the other into the main soundbar’s power brick) are several feet long, and the power brick is a reasonable size to hide behind your TV stand or under the desk. A 4-foot optical audio cable is included to connect to a TV, blu ray player, or other compatible device. A basic product guide leads through connectivity options and using the remote. Yamaha also includes a drilling template and additional hardware for wall mounting options. The wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, but I found the best positioning to be relatively close to the soundbar. Setup is as straightforward as can be - connect to your TV or other devices via either HDMI ARC, optical, or stereo 3.5mm (headphone or line out) input and turn the soundbar on for wired sound, or power on and set to the Bluetooth input to begin pairing. The subwoofer comes pre-paired and automatically switches between standby and power-on with the soundbar’s activity. From there it’s just a matter of dialing in your settings with the included remote or the Yamaha remote app from a smartphone, and you’re on your way. - Sound Quality As I state in every speaker system review, quantifying something as subjective as sound is difficult. Audio opinions are subjective and the listening experience is difficult to translate to text. I highly recommend sampling this sound bar in-store at your nearest Best Buy prior to purchase. I had previously reviewed Yamaha’s SR-C20A soundbar, which as far as I can tell is a very similar soundbar to the SR-C30A (if not the same, judging from how similar the model numbers are), but instead integrating a small, 3” subwoofer directly into the bar. In that review I mentioned how a wireless subwoofer would have sent that soundbar from good to great, and I’m pleased to report that this is the case with the SR-C30A. The 20-watt speakers in the soundbar and 50-watt subwoofer combine to reproduce sound faithfully and with impressive clarity. I was originally concerned the subwoofer would overpower the soundbar, but the tuning here is done quite well and I had to increase the bass slightly for the best sound. Paired with a 55-inch TV, the SR-C30A delivers much more depth in sound than its compact size would suggest. What impressed me most, especially at its modest price point, is just how “neutral” the bass from the subwoofer sounds. Usually a subwoofer will lean towards a “punchy” or “boomy” sort of sound as a way to either define a sound profile or cover up its shortcomings as best as possible, but the SR-C30A’s subwoofer does neither. The end result is a balanced sound that simply feels right to my ears - the system doesn’t seem to struggle recreating sound accurately across all sorts of media. Music, movies, games, and TV shows all sound great. The soundbar itself deserves praise as well for clear mids and highs that don’t fall off, spike, or get tinny as frequencies and volume increase. Indeed, even at just 90 rated watts the SR-C30A can get exceptionally loud and sounds great doing it. Not a hint of distortion as you approach max volume, and the soundstage (perceived distance between leftmost- and rightmost-panned sounds) feels about 8 feet wide. Yamaha suggests pairing the SR-C30A with TVs up to 65”, and I feel that’s about the sweet spot given the soundstage. They also suggest using it with a PC setup for gaming, and while I’m sure it would work well the power of this system seems like overkill. Four different equalizer presets are present: Stereo, Standard, Movie, and Game, though the best sound seemed to be in Standard mode throughout. Stereo and Game both felt tinny while Movie made sounds and music less impactful. A “Clear Voice” setting also seemed to make little difference in any audio circumstance. There is also the option for “BASS EXT” which increases the response of low-frequency sounds and gives the subwoofer noticeably boomier sound. Personally I feel it over-boosts the bass when the subwoofer already has little trouble delivering clear, accurate sound, but people who enjoy some added rumble for movies and games will likely enjoy how much more enveloping it sounds with the option turned on. - Connectivity & Ease of Use HDMI ARC leads the feature list for connectivity, letting you control your soundbar volume via your TV remote and reducing the need for another remote lying around. This worked well enough in practice, but the bigger surprise was the inclusion of two optical audio inputs. Though a little outdated against HDMI ARC, this does allow for more creative options that could help provide a better audio experience hooking up game consoles or blu-ray players on older, lower-end TVs. The SR-C30A also supports bluetooth for streaming audio to the soundbar wirelessly. Pairing requires no passcode, and sound latency is minimal. The soundbar’s middle status LED will blink as it awaits connection then turn blue once established. Each of the 5 LEDs on the soundbar is labeled by its input name. These LEDs double as an information readout when adjusting volume, subwoofer level, or enabling and disabling Clear Voice and Bass EXT options. These work well enough in practice and the LEDs aren’t overly bright. - Remote & Settings Contrasted against the seemingly high quality construction of the soundbar, the included remote feels cheap. Labeling is basic, the rubber buttons are a bit mushy to use, and the clamshell is made of low quality plastic with uneven seams. That said it does the job - it’s a pretty straightforward but disappointing affair to have in-hand. Yamaha does have a smartphone app available for both Android and iOS, Yamaha Soundbar Remote, that acts as a remote control for its range of soundbars. I was disappointed with the app as I was hoping for further functionality or configuration, the ability to store profiles, or have one-click commands for various settings, but the app is as simple as the remote. It’s a mirror clone of the remote’s buttons and functions, but one that requires bluetooth access to use (and even more concerningly, location data). There is virtually no point to the companion app - as much as the remote disappoints, it’s at least not tethered to your phone. One final, though small, annoyance is that sound settings are stored at the soundbar level and applied across all inputs. You cannot set “Stereo” sound mode to be used only on one input and “Standard” to be used on another, for example, nor can you adjust for device-specific volumes or sound features like Clear Voice. Again, a minor complaint given you’re best served setting the sound up once and running with it universally. - Bottom Line At a $279 MSRP, the Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar with wireless subwoofer delivers excellent audio for pretty much any home theater setup. The compact size of the soundbar begets an impressive, rich soundstage that’s filled in wonderfully by the balanced, powerful subwoofer. Though there remain a few small areas of improvement, I would be nitpicking to call any of them a serious issue given this price class; I’ve heard more expensive soundbars that perform worse than Yamaha’s offering here. The SR-C30A comes highly recommended!
You could probably count on one hand even after a few severe woodworking accidents, the number of companies that make both sound bars and musical instruments. Yamaha is that rare company that has the authoritative advantage of making products on either side of the recording process. So, the ability of the engineers who are voicing the sound reproducing equipment have the company resources and history to know what instruments should sound like reproduced because they make so many real, different, high quality instruments. This model sound bar, the SR-C30A under review, is admittedly in the middle of the technological pack of Yamaha’s capabilities for this product category, but nonetheless fulfills a very bread and butter function in that it will make just about any ... MoreYou could probably count on one hand even after a few severe woodworking accidents, the number of companies that make both sound bars and musical instruments. Yamaha is that rare company that has the authoritative advantage of making products on either side of the recording process. So, the ability of the engineers who are voicing the sound reproducing equipment have the company resources and history to know what instruments should sound like reproduced because they make so many real, different, high quality instruments. This model sound bar, the SR-C30A under review, is admittedly in the middle of the technological pack of Yamaha’s capabilities for this product category, but nonetheless fulfills a very bread and butter function in that it will make just about any TV sound better than it would without it. There is no Dolby Atmos or DTX processing, but there are a few options for sound field modification like “3D Movie” and “Game” presets. Is it your best choice? Well, if the price, size and technology match your needs, read on and it may very well turn out to be your new sound bar. Here’s where the nitty-gritty might meet the pretty ditty. The two drivers in the sound bar are of the full range type that are expressing sound in all of the frequency range other than the lowest notes (which are, of course, attended to by the subwoofer). There are no distinctive tweeters and midrange drivers and thus no passive crossovers required. This configuration can be aurally fine if the drivers are of good quality and the system employs a DSP (digital signal processing) chip to shape the sound frequencies to the target “voicing” the manufacturer desires. Point/source performance increases with only one axial sound source per channel as you get with a full range driver as opposed to two slightly displaced sound sources like a midrange and tweeter arriving at your ears at slightly different times or angles. However, lighter, faster tweeter materials can be a benefit to more brilliant highs, so, tradeoffs exist and your past aural experiences will undoubtedly be your guide as to what you’ll inevitably be the happiest with. As for the subwoofer, keep in mind that it is probably best suited to filling smaller sized rooms such as bedrooms or offices due to its modest 5.125” diameter cone. It won’t ever be gut-punching bass that rattles your belongings off the shelves, but it works well and is adequate for this purpose. Also, it is effortless to set up with its wireless connectivity and versatile placement capabilities. With all that out of the way, lets get to the specifics of what makes this package appropriate for your needs or not. This is a diminutive-sized sound bar and subwoofer package. It is probably not best suited and sized for a larger TV pairing. I had a very pleasant experience pairing it with a 32” set in an office and a 42” set in a bedroom, and slightly less success in living up to pairing it with a 65” unit in a larger room. If your expectations are modest from a volume standpoint, even a large screen TV would still benefit from this pair. The sound quality is quite good and is easily adapted to the environments above with the use of several presets on the included remote that shape the frequency response and inter-channel phase relationship as well as several ways to supplement bass and clarify the voice range. An additional method of controlling the system is an iOS-available Yamaha app called Sound Bar Remote, not to be confused with the similarly named, Sound Bar Controller. The app allows complete control of all the functions on the sound bar with the most significant aspect being able to clearly see the status of the settings without having to rely on the mysterious flashing status lights on the front of the bar. Some of the aspects that I only love a little are the external power supply for the sound bar which represents a challenge to tuck away while wall mounting, those cryptic flashing status lights on the front of the sound bar and the aeronautically-bright landing strip beacon on the back of the subwoofer. As all of the above are easily forgivable, I would very much recommend this product considering its relatively low price, simplicity, versatility, even tonality at various volume levels, generous assortment of input options (ARC compatible HDMI, analog, two optical digital inputs and Bluetooth) and its pleasing overall sound. For me, this product will work well in several locations around the house. Picking the winning location may be the hardest part.
I was skeptical about this sound bar when I seen the size of it but, boy oh boy, am I half to be wrong! I knew the speakers on my 65" Vizio where bad and I've bought a few sound bars in the past only to return them because either they were not loud or the sound was terrible on them (think: nails on a chalk board). So when this arrived i was fully prepared to be underwhelmed..... then I hooked it up (temporary set up, just in case) and I turned it on and I was alone in the room and literally said out loud, "Wow! This sounds awesome! Holy cow!" Then I got to messing around with the the clear voice settings while watching some ghost hunting shows and I could actually HEAR STUFF easily that I used to have to replay over and over at max volume with just the TV speakers. ... MoreI was skeptical about this sound bar when I seen the size of it but, boy oh boy, am I half to be wrong!

Then I got to messing around with the the clear voice settings while watching some ghost hunting shows and I could actually HEAR STUFF easily that I used to have to replay over and over at max volume with just the TV speakers. The 3D sound, sounds great and its my preferred song while just watching regular stuff and movies. It also has "stereo" and "game" sound eq profile that also sounds great. The bass boost actually works and doesn't muddy up the the sound profile and bass maxed out with bass boost on in every mode represented a clear audio experience and nothing was washed out, drowning in the bass or sounding like it was struggling. You can adjust the subwoofer bass volume independent of the sound bar volume...... this is an excellent feature and allows you to dial in the exact sound profile you want. It's comes with an optical cable, remote with battery and an analog input as well as ARC HDMI input and controls..... and Bluetooth connectivity. You will need to supply your own HDMI cable if you want to hook it up that way. The Bluetooth worked flawlessly both independently connected to devices and via the Yamaha app. The app is a very nice, alternate way to efficiently control the settings and see what you have on and off at a glance.... also if you lose your remote you can still EASILY control the sound bar. The HDMI ARC works fantastically to control the volume with a device remote...i.e. a fire cube or similar alternative. Meaning you don't need the sound bar remote and a device remote all the time..... you just need your device remote. The sub woofer can be mounted on its side or vertically.... big plus! Means you can fit this set up basically anywhere! Sound bar measures 5x.5 long by 3.5 deep by 2.5 high. That's space efficient! I've had bigger bars with less volume and terrible sound but this one hits the spot on both of those aspects! Also worthy of note is.... for some reason the sound stays pretty local to the room its in. Meaning the if it's at full base and full volume the whole house isn't shaking and it doesn't carry that far outside the room its in. I REALLY LIKE THAT. You can watch a movie and be immersed in the movie bass without being obnoxious and disturbing the entire household. This one's a keeper.... so much so, that i have no problem putting holes in my wall to permanently mount it.... which will happen here shortly. The wireless sub woofer is the key to making this so good....I tried it with the sub unplugged from the wall and then plugged the sub in and it went from "so so" to "whoa-whoa!" It "warms" up the sound profile in all the right ways without it sounding like a car from the hood driving by. I really have enjoyed it since it being delivered and would 10,000% recommend it vs others in this price point just due to size and being able to flip the sub woofer on its side. The only bad thing I have to say is the remote shape and texture makes its a bit slippery to handle, but that's me nit picking and trying to find something negative to say. I really like this set up and if your looking to improve your boring and quiet TV speakers then this is definitely the upgrade to consider! Love this system! My master bedroom is rocking now!
