GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array X

No, this is a passive soundbar. You will need to connect it to an external A/V receiver to power the speakers.

Yes, the SuperCinema 3D Array X does not include a subwoofer. Because it is designed to handle the left, center, and right channels, you will need a dedicated subwoofer to handle the low-frequency effects for a complete home theater experience.

Unlike typical soundbars that use digital processing to simulate surround sound, this unit uses physical crosstalk cancellation technology. This creates a wider, more natural soundstage by ensuring the sound from each channel reaches your ears with precise timing and clarity.

The unit measures 49.13 inches wide and 4.81 inches high. It is designed to fit discreetly beneath most modern displays, but you should measure your TV's stand or wall-mount clearance to ensure it won't block the bottom of your screen.

You need a receiver capable of powering three channels (Left, Center, Right). The system is compatible with amplifiers ranging from 20 to 200 watts per channel, making it suitable for most standard home theater receivers.

While it is optimized for home theater, the high-quality drivers and folded ribbon tweeters make it quite capable for music. However, because it is a three-channel system, you will get the best results when your receiver is set to a multi-channel stereo mode.
