Denon presents the Denon Home Soundbar 550. A, according to the manufacturer, “high-quality, compact soundbar that further expands the Denon Home range with great TV sound.
Because Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound are delivered with as many as six drivers, movies, TV shows and music tracks really come through with this soundbar. Listeners can also stream high-resolution music from their favorite music services or local music libraries directly to the soundbar thanks to HEOS.
In addition, listeners who have already invested in the HEOS ecosystem, including other Denon Home products, can add the Denon Home Soundbar 550 as a separate wireless zone without having to run a cable. The Denon Home Soundbar 550 (€649) will be available from February 2021′.
