JVC Intros New Dual Wireless and Slim Soundbar Systems

JVC just added two new soundbar home theater systems to their lineup – including a dual wireless soundbar system featuring a wireless subwoofer and wireless surround speakers.

The TH-BA3 is JVC's new dual wireless soundbar system. This 280-watt, 5.1-channel surround sound system includes a sound bar, wireless subwoofer and wireless rear speaker kit (wireless left and right surround speakers, and wireless receiver). The sound bar contains four speakers - one each for the left and right main channels and two for the center channel. Also built into the sound bar is the power amplifier, surround decoding, system controls and the transmitter for the wireless surround speakers. It offers one analog and two optical digital inputs and decodes Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby ProLogic II surround signals. It will be available this month with an MSRP of $549.95.

The super-slim JVC TH-BS7 system was designed with flat panel HDTVs in mind. It includes a soundbar that measures just 1.4 inches tall, an even slimmer wall-mountable amplifier/control unit and a wireless subwoofer.

The 180-watt, 4.1-channel TH-BS7 features four JVC Direct Drive speakers - left and right main channels and left and right surround channels - each driven by 20 watts. The two surround channels are processed using JVC's Front Surround technology for a surround sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

The system's amplifier/control unit measures just 1.2 inches deep and can be wall mounted. It decodes Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II, and offers one analog and three optical digital inputs. The system’s wireless subwoofer features a six-inch woofer powered by a 100-watt amplifier. The TH-BS7 will be available this month for $599.95.
