With the boom in apartment living around the nation[1] comes a limitation on space for traditional sound systems and televisions. This is where the soundbar steps in to pole position as an ideal solution for homes with flat screen TVs suspended on the wall, and audiophiles with an unwillingness to compromise on sound quality.

The new Onkyo LS-7200 3D Soundbar System is packed with technology for an incredible multidimensional sound experience. Including a slim-line 5-channel network receiver, low-profile soundbar for unobstructed vision, and wirelessly powered subwoofer, the LS-7200 delivers object audio effortlessly.

With a multi-driver array fed by a slim external Network Receiver connected via a single cable, Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ soundtracks can be authentically reproduced. The user will be immersed in a holographic 3D sound experience when watching TV, movies, or gaming, while music streamed wirelessly with DTS Play-Fi®, AirPlay® or Wi-Fi® is delivered with unmatched clarity and depth.

There’s also no need to compromise on audio distribution using the Onkyo Controller app, which includes control of multi-room audio.

In homes with a preference for contemporary white finishes, the subtly contoured Onkyo LS5200 2.1 Channel Home Cinema System will deliver high-class sound with a stylish design. In a choice of black or white, the ultra-slim network stereo receiver blends with contemporary interior styling, and reduces TV connections to a single HDMI, while compact 2-Way speakers provide flexibility for positioning that won’t obscure the screen including wall mount brackets. Designed for flexible positioning, the wireless subwoofer features sculpted feet to create a stronger resemblance to furniture.

Digital amplifiers produce an impressive 85W x 85W of clean power to revitalise television sound and enrich app-based audio cast over AirPlay®, Spotify® and Chromecast Built-in (formerly Google Cast™). Listening enhancement modes including Pure Direct, Late Night and Loudness Management, make this the ideal system for urban living.

Vinyl fans can also connect a turntable to either systems and enjoy their favourite artists as they’ve never heard them before.

The new LS-7200 and LS-5200 are part of Onkyo’s FireConnect™ wireless multi-room audio ecosystem, which is compatible with other leading audio brands. The new free ‘Onkyo Controller’ app makes multi-room wireless audio simple to manage from an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android Phone and Tablet devices using Bluetooth, Airplay®, Chromecast Built-in (formerly Google Cast™) and more.
