Panoramic Sound with AuraSphere
The LS-B40 is powered by AuraSphere DSP (Digital Signal
Processing) technology. It works by optimizing driver output
to create a 3D surround effect from stereo sources. Unlike
other DSP technologies, AuraSphere expands the sweet
spot (the area in front of the TV where audio sounds best)
to create a 3D soundeld that places the listener in the
center of the action, wherever they’re sitting.
Movie Mode
Onboard AuraSphere technology applies custom EQ lters
to get the most out of movie and game soundtracks. Enjoy
deeper bass and an open mid-range to carry dialog clearly,
all enhanced by AuraSphere’s panoramic 3D soundeld.
Music Mode
For music, you want plenty of punchy bass, but not so
much that it drowns out vocals and strings. AuraSphere
manipulates the EQ and sound pressure levels to best suit
music playback, while expanding the soundeld so that you
can enjoy balanced stereo sound no matter where you’re
sitting.
News Mode
This mode makes dialog more intelligible while maintaining
clean, balanced response for all types of content, including TV
programs, movies, and news. With this mode engaged, you
won’t have to keep raising the volume to hear what’s going
on—a real frustration with regular TV sound.
Stream Music from Smartphone, Tablet, and PC
It’s easy to listen to music and other audio programs, too.
Simply pair your cellphone, smartphone, tablet, or PC to
the LS-B40 soundbar and stream wirelessly using the inbuilt
Bluetooth technology. From your smartphone’s music apps
(such as Spotify, SoundCloud, and internet radio services) to
locally stored libraries, Bluetooth technology lets you enjoy
content quickly and easily.
Automatic Operation via TV Remote
This soundbar is preprogrammed with IR codes for nine
major TV brands (with learning capability for others). This
means you can use your TV remote to control the unit
right out of the box. It switches on automatically with your
television, and responds to TV remote volume commands.
Other functions (such as sound mode selection) are handled
via the supplied remote, but for everyday use, the LS-B40 is
set-and-forget, seamlessly replacing at-screen sound with
room-lling audio.
Compatible with Dolby
®
Digital
Dolby Digital is a high quality audio format commonly
encoded on DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and in TV broadcasts.
Compatible TVs can pass Dolby Digital audio through to the
LS-B40 for richly detailed playback enhanced even further
with your choice of AuraSphere sound mode.
High Fidelity is Our Heritage
Onkyo has been in the hi- audio business for nearly 70
years, and that experience counts when it comes to building
great-sounding, high-value products. The LS-B40 uses an
efcient six-channel digital amp and eight-driver array to
reproduce your audio sources with depth and authority.
Whether streaming a Spotify playlist from your phone,
storming an enemy position in Call of Duty, or relaxing with a
DVD, the LS-B40 will take you deeper into the moment.
Easy, Flexible Installation
The LS-B40’s low-prole design makes it ideal for displaying
on an entertainment unit or TV stand. Contemporary styling
and muted color tones help it to blend discreetly into your
décor. If you desire, the unit’s at back panel and shallow
depth allow for wall mounting under your TV. Installation
couldn’t be easier—just connect the single coaxial or optical
cable, plug in the power cord, and say goodbye to tinny TV
sound.
Wide Selection of Audio Inputs
Audio from your TV (and any media players connected to
it) is passed to the LS-B40 via a single coaxial or optical
digital audio cable. You can connect other devices (such as
smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players) via a 3.5 mm analog
audio input. A USB port is included to play MP3 les stored
on compatible ash memory drives, and you can use the
system remote to select a track. Should you wish to add
further impact to movies and games, we’ve included a
pre-out for your choice of subwoofer.
