Key Features
Congratulations on your purchase of the BAR1 and Wireless Subwoofer audio
system. The BAR1 is designed to provide higher quality sound from your flat panel
television. It is designed to mount either on the desk top with the supplied table
stands or on the wall with the supplied wall mount kit.
You will enjoy outstanding audio performance due to use of patented Class HD™
amplifiers and a novel surround processor called FX (Fractal Expansion). The BAR1
is best used with TV’s from 32” up to 42” where its compact size and styling will
unobtrusively complement your TV and the room décor.
Advanced Technologies in the UltraThin Home Theater BAR1 and
Wireless Subwoofer
Wider Sound Stage: Vector Firing (VF) Side Drivers
The Vector Firing Side Drivers(4) enhance both stereo and FX surround modes. The sweet spot for
listening is wider and the surround effects are more dramatic as a result of the VF side driver design and
Fractal Expansion processing.
High Efficiency Amplifier Technology: ClassHD
The UltraThin BAR1 employs a new class of patented audio amplifier called Class HD™. The Class HD™
amplifier is more efficient at normal listening levels than conventional amplifiers and even more efficient
than Class D digital amplifiers. This new technology allows for a very compact audio system design with
the performance of a much larger audio system. Another advantage to the Class HD™ amplifier is that
there is no need for bulky external power adapters. The BAR1 and Wireless Subwoofer have independent
AC power cords so that the Subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the listening room.
State-of-the-Art Processing: Fractal Expansion (FX)
Experience a convincing surround sound presentation from the10-speaker BAR1 and Subwoofer. Fractal
Expansion is an advanced audio processing technology that converts the 2 channel stereo into a wide
sound stage with virtual center and surround images that will amaze and thrill you. This advanced
processing preserves the tonal accuracy of the original sound source to create rich sound. You can enjoy
your favorite music using Fractal Expansion or select the high fidelity stereo mode.
Dramatic Low Frequency Response: High BL* Wireless Subwoofer
The Wireless Subwoofer delivers deep, strong, and dynamic bass all the way down to 35 Hz. The
Class HD™ amplifier in the Subwoofer has the capability to outperform conventional amplifiers of its
rating. The extra performance of the amplifier is matched to the very strong High BL* woofer to give
movie special effects dynamic impact. The independent Subwoofer level control allows you to adjust
only the level of deep low frequencies without changing the crossover frequencies to preserve the tonal
accuracy of the entire BAR1 and Subwoofer system.
* BL is determined by the flux density (B) in the magnetic gap and the length (L) of voice coil wire in the gap.
A higher BL will generally mean a speaker will have a higher relative sensitivity (efficiency).
