Product description from manufacturer
The SurroundBar is for anyone who wants surround sound but prefers not to have rear channel speakers. The SurroundBar works in any room in almost any location, requires no reflecting walls and needs no special setup. And it works with any surround sound receiver. The Polk Audio SurroundBar makes it easy and convenient, not to mention uncluttered, to experience truly immersive, 5-channel surround sound from a single speaker. The SurroundBar will complete your High Definition TV experience. And is the perfect match for flatpanel and shallow screen TVs. Hang the SurroundBar on the wall beneath your new TV or just sit it on a shelf. It's simple. It's clean. It's unobtrusive. Gone are all the wires coursing around the room. The technology behind the SurroundBar has been continuously refined and improved over the last 20 years. SDA was originally invented as a music reproduction technology. As a result, SDA Surround offers a much higher level of audio performance than recently developed home theater based virtualization technologies that lack SDA's more than two decades of refinement. Here's the SurroundBar's other big plus: Five channels of input usually means wire, wire everywhere. But you can relax. The SurroundBar comes equipped with a simplified, color-coded and flagged, wiring harness. All five (5) channels go directly from your home theater receiver to the SurroundBar via a 25-foot 10-conductor cable. The cable connects easily to color-coded 5-way binding posts. No more unsightly and possibly tangled wires to string around the room. You get all the advantages of surround sound and none of the hassles. The ability to create surround sound without rear speakers is, of course, important. But it's the fundamental sound quality and music performance of the system that will deliver the greatest entertainment satisfaction. With the addition of a subwoofer, the SurroundBar delivers a surround experience that exceeds the expectations of most of us out here in home entertainment land.
