Key specs at a glance

SuperWide™ soundstage from a compact bar

SuperWide™ processing stretches audio beyond typical limits for a speaker this size. In practice, you hear a broader image without moving the drivers farther apart. Because the bar sits under your monitor, it keeps your setup tidy. So films and games feel more engaging while your desk stays clear.

Bass that belies the size

A rear port tube works with racetrack drivers to reinforce low frequencies. This design delivers consistent audio and a stronger bass presence than built-in laptop speakers. You hear deeper impact without adding a separate subwoofer. It keeps your footprint minimal while improving every track.

Flexible wired and wireless connections

You can connect via USB-C, AUX, or Bluetooth 5.4 for low-latency wireless audio. The USB-C port also powers the bar, reducing cable clutter on your desk. Pair with a phone, tablet, PC, or console in moments. For private listening, plug headphones into the 3.5 mm output.

Adjustable lighting to suit your mood

Multiple presets let you tailor the ambience to your content. Choose Chasers, Aurora, Peak Meter, Glowing, Wave, or Cycle modes. The lighting adds visual feedback without distracting from your screen. You can match the glow to a quiet evening or a gaming session.

Simple placement and control

Place the bar on a desk, shelf, or under a monitor for stable sound. The compact width fits most setups, and the lightweight build makes repositioning easy. The control layout is straightforward for quick adjustments. You get consistent performance across the 0–45 °C operating range.
