Introduction
Omnos 5.1.2 Soundbar utilizes state of the art audio technology to create
lifelike theater sound right in your home. The 5 indicates the horizontal
speakers that cover left, right, center rear left and rear right, similar to standard
5.1 audio systems. The 1 stands for the subwoofer channel, which is to create
deep bass. The 2 indicates the two height channels located above the
listener's head. The cumulative result creates a truly three dimensional sound
experience.
The Omnos can take any sound format from stereo to multichannel audio as an input
signal. The signal processing algorithm then converts the input audio signal to 5.1.2 audio
signal.
Omnos contains following components:
Soundbar Unit - Each speaker in the Soundbar has an independent audio signal that is
processed by a digital signal processer. Three face directly at you, two face toward the
sides of the room and two face the ceiling to bounce sound for a fully immersive effect.
Each speaker unit has its own cavity to deliver superior sound quality while minimizing

5/ 32
interference from speaker units. The available inputs include HDMI /3.5mm
Analog/Bluetooth/HDMI ARC, also the control buttons for the input switch/ volume control
and standby are available in the front panel.
Subwoofer - The subwoofer is connected wirelessly to the Soundbar and completes the
comprehensive sound package. With a phase-inverted tube structural design and unique
grid bottom, this subwoofer makes your bass much more powerful.
Remote Controller –Used for the volume control, input switch and power on/off operations.
Mobile App -The custom app allows you to control and fine tune your audio for each
room. Set your virtual sound field and room tuning preference and switch your devices
through a single click.Also the common control such as the listening mode switch, the
bass control and volume/input control are included in the MobileApp.
