Harman Kardon’s new SB 16 soundbar promises virtual ‘3D surround sound’ from just two sources.

Consisting of a bar and separate subwoofer, the SB 16 includes a pair of 7.5cm midrange drivers and a 19mm tweeter driven by a 2×25W amplifier. The 100-watt square-shaped sub meanwhile uses a single 10in driver.
Harman Kardon’s own sound processing technology includes a ‘virtual 3D’ surround mode intended to replicate the effect of surround sound without the additional speakers.
The system can also be used to play back of stereo music via coaxial and optical digital inputs from TV, CD, DVD or Blu-ray players as well as portable music devices via an analogue audio input.
It’s also programmable so that it can be controlled using your TV remote.
The Harman Kardon SB 16 is available now in black only for around £600.
