Onkyo says the SBT-A500 Network Surround Soundbar it announced at CES last week is designed for gamers, music lovers, and movie enthusiasts looking for a low-profile, networkable speaker system that supports all the most popular music-streaming services and that can be incorporated into a mutli-room audio system. The SBT-A500 is just 2.1 inches high, so it won't creep into your TV's field of view if your gear is installed in an entertainment center. The low profile is possible because the amplifier, I/O ports, and other electronics are housed in an external box that connects to the speaker with a single umbilical cable. A wireless subwoofer delivers low-frequency effects. The slim A/V receiver houses an amplifier, network adapter, and audio processor, along with four HDMI inputs for source devices such as a media streamer and a game console.
