The SB 16CTR soundbar contains the system’s left and right speakers and stereo
amplifiers, and features digital signal processing with virtual 3D surround circuitry that
creates a complete surround-sound experience without any extra speakers or wires. You
can set the soundbar on a table in front of your TV; also, the system includes hardware
that makes it easy to mount the soundbar on the wall along with your flat-panel TV. You
can program the soundbar to respond to your TV remote’s volume, power and source
commands.
The SB 16 SUB subwoofer receives its signal from the SB 16CTR soundbar via wireless
technology, so you can place it anywhere in your room without having to run any wires.
Its 10-inch (250mm) woofer and built-in 100-watt amplifier deliver a movie’s impact and
excitement. Other conveniences include a volume control, a phase switch for fine-tuning
bass performance to suit your listening environment, and an efficient switching system
that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically switches the subwoofer on.
harman kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than 50 years ago. With state-
of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the SB 16 system will turn your
flat-screen TV into a fun and exciting home theater.
