Enjoy cinematic sound effects, Harman Caton SB26 TV audio experience

Audio and video entertainment systems are essential for every family. As an important output device for entertainment, an excellent large-size TV is indispensable. Now that TVs are getting thinner and thinner, the effects of the TV's built-in speakers are not very good, and TV stereos used with TVs have also caused many users to take a look. There are more and more products with different functions and appearances. This time we experienced the SB26 TV stereo from Harman Kardon.

For the vast majority of users, there are three main types of television audio choices: the traditional structure of the 2.0 audio, Soundbar audio, Soundbar + subwoofer combination audio. Soundbar is currently the most popular form of television audio, because most of them use a long and flat shape, easy to place, easy to space requirements, the appearance can also be more stylish.

SB26 is the combined sound of the Soundbar+ subwoofer. The main body is divided into a long shape Soundbar and a huge subwoofer. Soundbar is the main sounding device and is also the focus of this audio equipment.

The Soundbar is 920mm*89mm*110mm in size, and the overall size is very small. You can choose to place it on the desktop or hang it on the wall. Its internal symmetry places four 3-inch midrange units and two 1-inch tweeters, each responsible for the left and right channels. The total power of 60 W also makes it hard to imagine that a small volume can burst out of such a large amount of energy.

Soundbar's interface is very rich, there are two HDMI input, an HDMI output, a fiber optic input, a 3.5mmAUX input, a USB interface, while also supporting Bluetooth connectivity. In the accessories, an AUX cable, an optical fiber cable, and an HDMI cable are also included. There are many ways to connect the audio, and the optimal connection method can be selected according to the specific environment of different users. Most smart TVs now have a Bluetooth function. Selecting a Bluetooth connection can make the living room more concise, without complicated wire troubles.

The top of the Soundbar is a control button, which includes a switch button, a volume control button, a Bluetooth button, and a virtual surround effect switching button. Of course, you can set more options through the included remote control. You can't use the physical buttons on your body when you use it everyday. At the same time, the remote controller can also select the audio input interface, bass bass strength and so on.

The SB26's virtual surround effect can play a surround sound when it is turned on. Although it is not as good as a movie theater, it can have a nice improvement when watching movies. However, this surround effect is not suitable for listening to music. The sound part is weakened a lot, it is recommended to open this function when watching large movies.

The subwoofer of the SB26 adopts a more regular square-shaped design with dimensions of 320mm*320mm*365mm. With reversed holes on the back, the phase adjustment and crossover knobs allow professional users to better adjust the device. The subwoofer is responsible for the bass part of video and audio. It is mainly to create a more rich atmosphere and add a lot to the film.

The subwoofer's sound unit is a 10-inch driver with an inverted design that passes the bass into the user's ears through ground reflections. The advantage of this design is that the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room without affecting the listening performance because of the different placement positions, and the subwoofer is better placed on hard surfaces such as marble. The subwoofer and the main Soundbar are wirelessly connected. Only one power outlet is required. The subwoofer can be placed in any corner without being limited by the Soundbar position.

Through everyday experience, the SB26 is used as a TV stereo in the living room, and the effect is very good. HDMI or fiber input can achieve higher transmission efficiency and better sound effects. If you want a more tidy living room, you can choose to connect your TV via Bluetooth. In our actual experience, the transmission efficiency is very high, even through a Bluetooth connection. Watching a movie program does not result in the unsynchronized tone.

When resting in the living room, if you only want to listen to music without turning on the TV, you can choose to use a Bluetooth phone or tablet to connect to the SB26, and you can directly play songs from your phone. Harman Kardon official also has a mobile phone APP, which can replace the function of the remote control after installation, and directly adjust the volume of sound and other settings, eliminating the need for steps to find the remote control. Experience in these details, let us have to admire the big brand in the user experience of intimate design.

In terms of sound effects, SB26 also has its own TV audio performance. The three-way design of the Soundbar allows each speaker unit to perform its duties, whether it be daily viewing or listening to music, all have a good performance. The 100W power subwoofer can create a more intense atmosphere, especially when watching movies, can bring shocking sound effects, so that you are like being in a movie theater.
[Sound field, details are slightly insufficient, choose according to use demand]

The combination of the Soundbar+ subwoofer is also not perfect. In terms of sound field and resolving power, it is still slightly inferior to the 2.0-squared speaker with the same left and right channel spacing. Of course, this must be aimed at the needs of different users. If you want to experience the shocking effects of watching movies and concerts, then you can't be wrong if you choose SB26, a combination TV stereo, if you prefer to listen to music With details and a more refined sound, the traditional 2.0 sound may be more suitable for you.
