I did my preliminary evaluation of sound high quality down in my workplace space, which has a low ceiling. So what occurred after I took the Katana V2 to a bigger room? Nicely, just about the identical factor. The subwoofer wasn’t in a position to present fairly the identical impression in my front room, given the bigger area, nevertheless it was nonetheless producing a robust low finish. And the soundbar itself produces a satisfyingly huge sound discipline.
Having a bigger display screen behind it additionally appeared to assist undertaking the audio higher, given the backward angle to the top-mounted drivers. And connectivity was a snap, with each HDMI ARC and TOSLINK optical working with out situation after setting the audio out on the TV correctly (I’ve a 2016 LG B6 OLED).
I’ll add that my household is spoiled by the massive sound of our front room setup, whether or not they notice it or not. There are tower audio system for the primary channels and full measurement bookshelf audio system for the surrounds, and bass is dealt with by a pair of 10-inch subwoofers. It’s a dramatic, highly effective sound system pushed by a reasonably excessive finish AVR, and whereas this soundbar can’t substitute it, it was a extra that satisfactory stand-in for a few days.
And now for a take a look at the software program Artistic provides for this, and different, merchandise.
