Multi Sound Bar Overview:
This multi-channel cinema sound bar shares many
characteristics with the other models in the SL
range. Maintaining Artcoustic’s clean contemporary
design, the Multi Sound Bar has been designed to
be mounted underneath all modern flat screen
monitors. The Multi Sound Bar is perfect for the
most demanding of applications. Partner it with
an Artcoustic Subwoofer for a truly full range,
dynamic performance.
Wired as a single mono configuration, the Multi
Sound Bar is a highly sensitive speaker and is
therefore capable of reproducing very high sound
pressure levels from modest (20watt+) amplifiers.
The Multi Sound Bar can be installed as a multi
channel L, C, R. Speaker or as a single mono centre
channel speaker
